Board narrowly approves OSBA dues increase, votes not to approve Pride caucus resolution
Summary
Directors voted 5–2 to support the OSBA progressive dues increase; on a separate OSBA item the board voted to not approve creation of a Pride caucus (roll-call indicated a 5–2 result on the 'not approve' motion). Directors debated sequencing and implications for bylaw amendments.
The board reviewed three OSBA election items and took votes during the meeting. On the proposed progressive dues schedule, administration said current dues (about $2,500) could more than double to roughly $5,200 by 2031 under the proposal; the board voted to approve the dues-schedule resolution with a recorded result of five yeas and two nays.
On a separate resolution to create a Pride caucus within OSBA, the board debated whether to take a position now or at the December meeting and ultimately moved a resolution "to not approve the creation of a pride caucus" (motion made by Director Barnett, seconded by Director Cole). The chair conducted a roll-call that the transcript reports as five yes and two no on the motion to not approve, recorded in the meeting as a 5–2 result. Directors asked for clearer sequencing in OSBA's statewide ballot materials and noted the timing constraints for OSBA submission.
