695.0. "DCU Board does it again..." by MVDS00::FRASER (Mobius Loop; see other side) Tue Sep 14 1993 19:17

        Note below  is  published  in  the  DIGITAL  and  SOAPBOX Notes
        Conferences for widest exposure.
        ===============================================================

        Seems that  our  Digital  Credit  Union board (with a couple of
        notable exceptions) are at it again.
        
        In spite of a clear  mandate  from the electorate against "user
        fees" in the last special meeting  and  subsequent  election to
        oust  the old board, it's reported that  user  fees  are  being
        imposed on a selective basis - so-called "relational  banking";
        a  closed  session  decision,  unreported in the April minutes.
        This  in  spite  of  having  exceeded profit goals.  It's  also
        rumoured  that  the fees are designed to cover monetary rewards
        or bonuses  to  the  DCU staff - I don't know the truth of that
        one, but it  does  seem  to  be  time to add SMAUG::DCU to your
        notebook and make your  voice heard if you use the DCU and care
        about being levied with "bank"-type charges.

	> I just got a call from Julie. She said she was finally able to get a > copy of the bylaws and would be now mail it. [I thought the IPP said > I could get from any branch, oh well...] Several of the changes to the Bylaws that we've been trying to get through the NCUA, were passed recently so the Bylaws have changed. Depending upon what section you are interested in, the copies at the branches may or not be accurate until new versions can be sent to them. Getting a copy from DCU HQ is probably the best approach until they get sent to the branches.
695.3	I complained also...	NODEX::ADEY	These ARE the good old days...	`Fri Sep 24 1993 13:49`	8
	re: .1 I also got a phone call from Julie to discuss the points I brought up in my letter to the BoD. I told her I disagreed with the rationale the BoD used to justify the fees and the way in which they did it, so I hope they deem that a complaint. Ken....
695.5	This really is deja vu	SCHOOL::KOPACKO		`Fri Sep 24 1993 14:15`	11
	Ed, Of course you're not the only one who registered a complaint... Julie also called me several days ago and I made my opinion clear that I was opposed to the new fees and DCU's definition of "relationship". It is blatantly obvious to me that Chuck C. wears the pants as far as running the credit union. What he wants, he gets. The "no complaints" line is simply a smokescreen as they circle the wagons at headquarters. :^(
695.6		CVG::THOMPSON	Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?	`Fri Sep 24 1993 14:24`	6
	RE: .2 Phil, any idea when the copy of the bylaws in topic 3 will be updated? Alfred

	As soon as I can get one???
695.8	I kinda figured that, meant when will you get a copy	CVG::THOMPSON	Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?	`Fri Sep 24 1993 16:16`	4
	Gee, Phil, come on. I expect you to be able to enter it from memory. :-) Alfred

	.1> she indicated calls were only for clarification, NO COMPLAINTS. Are we playing word games here? I had not previously called Julie, but she did have a copy of the letter I sent to all directors recently, denouncing the new fees. See called me twice, on 22-Sep and 23-Sep, in regard to that letter, to see if she could "answer any questions". So, when she told you she had no complaint calls, she may not have had any "calls", but she was well aware of at least one letter (and I suspect quite a few more than one) unequivocally condemning the decision to introduce the fees. That one complaint may not have been a phone call, but it was in front of her in black and white. I did talk to her on the phone today. During our conversation, she seemed very eager to "answer any questions" I might have. There was nothing in my letter that even remotely resembled a question. I reiterated that I was opposed to the decision by the directors and management to impose the new fees, and made it clear that if she was keeping count, I would like my opposition to be so registered. Perhaps, to remove any doubt within the DCU communications department, anyone who disapproves of the new fees should phone Julie as well as contacting the directors. Her number is 223-6735, extension 343.

	RE: Bylaws The request is in. Hopefully Monday it'll be ready. RE: Complaints vs. Questions This is no time or topic for word games.
695.11	The obvious change...	SSDEVO::RMCLEAN		`Fri Sep 24 1993 18:01`	5
	re .-1 Ok... Since we have new bylaws... What is the requirement for a special meeting petition? How many signatures?? I thought that was one of the new bylaws changes.

	I don't have the latest copy in front of me and to tell the truth I can't recall where exactly that one ended up because it was done many months ago since it was a standard bylaw change vs. a non-standard bylaw change. I just gotta buy more memory! 8-)
