Treasurer's Report for tonight
by Ken Moellman 27 Dec '18

27 Dec '18

All - My sincerest apologies, but I'm not going to have a formal report completed tonight. I've been up for about 29 hours straight at this point and still have other things that must take priority. If someone would like additional information other than what's below, please let me know. (And this is all provided in case I fall asleep and/or am still on the marathon.) Updates from last report: D1 - no response from Cyrus on disbursement D3 - Mitch going to get with me after the new year. D4 - Disbursement made Kendrick - Reimbursement made Wiest - Expenses received but no answer on preferred method - paypal vs check KREF - I donated $270 to LPKY but told to wait for further negotiation; need update State Convention - Will send deposit/payment soon. Meant to send yesterday but then the multi-day marathon began. Plan to shut BB&T account down before Dec 31, but have no checks for new account. PayPal or Cashiers for the time being. Reiterate need for all funds to go through Treasurer Personal: I re-upped my dues. I donated the $18 for each of Mitchell and Watkins Discovered problem with web donations methodology that needs to be fixed (working with Cristi and Lex in email) -- Ken C. Moellman, Jr. LPKY State Party Treasurer

Campaign finance
by Ken Moellman 09 Dec '18

09 Dec '18

All - We have received a letter from KREF regarding a campaign finance violation due to the late submission of the 2018-1H report, with a "Conciliation Agreement" asking for $270 ($50 + $10 per day). To avoid lengthy conversation on the conference call on Thursday, I wanted to outline the situation here. The CRM will help, but that doesn't account for counter deposits. These really need to be tracked and run through the treasurer so whoever that treasurer is doesn't have to go through all sorts of hoops to get the information. What I am going to suggest on Thursday is as follows: (1) LPKY Executive Committee agrees to the Conciliation Agreement, and will send payment to KREF by Monday. (2) I will personally donate $300 to the party on Friday, of which $30 will be renewal of my dues and $270 will be a tagged donation toward paying the fine. (3) LPKY Executive Committee creates a bylaw to have EVERY transaction, including and especially counter deposits, go through the Treasurer or through the State party website (CRM), so the Treasurer knows where money came from and went. Any donations received without the treasurer present will include a form capturing the Name, Address, Occupation, and Employer of that donor, unless specifically tagged as an anonymous donation per KREF guidelines. (Ideally, this would come through Rules, but that committee hasn't met in two months.) The background: I resumed duties as Treasurer on April 1st, and got the records about a week later. I was informed by the outgoing treasurer that there were issues with the 2017-2H report. I audited the books and the 2017-2H report, and indeed there were mistakes in filing. Filing an amended report required significant forensic accounting. Most painful were the counter deposits, which required numerous trips to the bank to get information, and then getting the required information for each person. KREF was informed of the issue on May 1st, and was informed that we were working in good faith to resolve it. This process of correcting the books for 2017-2H continued until July 31st, when the 2017-1H amended report was sent to KREF. Simultaneously during this period, KREF also sought corrections to historical D4 reports and reports for defunct affiliate parties as well. The 2018-1H report was due on July 31st. Because 2017-2H wasn't completed until that day, we were definitely going to be late. Again, KREF was informed of the issue, and that we were working in good faith to get the 2018-1H report submitted ASAP. The process to build the 2018-1H report took 21 days. Again, counter deposits caused most of the pain, and a research request from BB&T was returned on August 21st, the report was finalized that night, and the report was mailed the following day on August 22nd. In October, the 2018-1H report was desk-audited, and found to have an error (separate page for reporting convention/event income was missing). This error was corrected and sent back to KREF a week later. I received the letter from KREF on December 3rd, with a notice that they would like a reply by the 13th. -- Ken C. Moellman, Jr. LPKY State Party Treasurer

D2 motions
by Ken Moellman 06 Dec '18

06 Dec '18

Our Constitution ( https://lpky.org/about/governance/ ) requires that a party submit a Convention Plan by certain deadlines (that do not make much sense with language that sometimes conflicts with itself and is difficult to read and follow). The penalty for an affiliate party failing to comply is the dissolution of that party, unless the State Party Executive Committee takes definitive action. Therefore, in accordance with our State Party Constitution, and to avoid the dissolution of D2, I make the following motion: IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY OF KENTUCKY CONSTITUTION, THE STATE PARTY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE HEREBY TAKES TWO JOINT ACTIONS: (1) THE REAPPOINTMENT OF ANY MEMBER OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY OF KENTUCKY 2ND DISTRICT WHO IS A VOTING MEMBER QUALIFIED TO SERVE ON THAT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE UNDER ARTICLE VI: SECTION 2; AND (2) ACCEPTS THE CONVENTION PLAN OF THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY OF KENTUCKY 2ND DISTRICT, WHICH COMPLIES WITH THE DATE, TIME, LOCATION, EXPENDITURE, REVENUE, AND NOTICE REQUIREMENTS OUTLINED IN THE STATE PARTY CONSTITUTION UNDER ARTICLE VII: SECTION 1. THE CONVENTION PLAN IS LOCATED AT: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wlUDLLoy8le0URt4vSrtuU6EbIvZx7BA0-dRNQX… I am seeking a second. -- Ken C. Moellman, Jr. LPKY State Party Treasurer

Convention Call - 2019 State Convention
by Harlen R. Compton 30 Nov '18

30 Nov '18

To the State Executive Committee of the Libertarian Party of Kentucky: Please find attached: the plan for the 2019 State Convention to be held at the Kentucky Dam Village on March 2-3, 2019. When we cancelled the Thanksgiving Day scheduled meeting of this Committee, I did not realize that would put us out of sync with the convention schedule in the Constitution. This plan has to be adopted by this Committee before December 1, 2018 to avoid a bunch of procedural hassles. I would appreciate it if someone would move to accept this and we can hold a vote over email since our next meeting isn't until December 13th. If a majority approves this before Saturday (December 1st), we can bypass the "six day veto" waiting period and have our convention called in time. Either way, we will re-visit the plan during our scheduled meeting on December 13th. Special thanks to Cristi Kendrick and Dave Watson who are continuing to fill in the details with me. Best regards, -- Harlen R. Compton Chair, State Executive Committee Libertarian Party of Kentucky C: 502-475-5447 | E: harlen.compton(a)lpky.org
