[Sosfbay-discuss] Reviving our County Locals (was Re: agenda items for Thursday)

[JamBoi]

Another agenda item for Thursday (in addition to filling up the County
Council that I previously posted) - reviving our County Locals.

Here's the layout for our County Locals we have so far.  Note that the
West Valley and Mid Valley could be combined for the time being until
the membership grows to the point to support individuating them.  Also
note that in the past there was a discussion of 'giving away' our South
Valley Local to San Benito County so as to reap the benefit of
geographic solidarity.

>  Setting up 5 Locals: 
> + North Valley: PA, MV, LA, LAH,
> + East Valley: Milpitas and SJ from East of 87 and So. to Bernal
> + West Valley: W. SJ, Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara
> + Mid Valley:  Central SJ, Campbell, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno,
Saratoga, 
> + South Valley: So. of Bernal, So. SJ, Morgan Hill, San Martin and
> Gilroy

Here's our relevant Bylaws section:

http://cagreens.org/sclara/bylaws.shtml 
ARTICLE 5 COUNTY LOCALS

5.1 Consistent with Green Party values supporting decentralization and
personal responsibility, individual members may form locals of the
Green Party of Santa Clara County in the various subregions of the
county.

5.2 To be duly recognized as an official GPSCC Local, such a group
must: 
a) Be approved as a County Local -- either by the County Council or at
a general meeting of the GPSCC -- after submitting a written request
signed by at least five (5) Members describing their intent to form a
Local and the boundaries of the proposed Local. 
b) Minutes will be recorded for all official meetings and a copy will
be made available to the County Council on request. 
c) Duly elect a contact person who will facilitate communication
between the local and the county organization. 
d) Have clearly defined geographic boundaries and notify the Council in
writing of any subsequent changes of those boundaries. 
e) Conduct Local activities in accordance with the spirit and intent of
the Green Party's 10 Key Values.

5.3 A GPSCC Local shall not take any public position on county-wide or
state-wide issues contrary to that taken by the GPSCC or the California
Green Party, without receiving consensus at a County general meeting. A
Local shall not assert any authority expressly reserved to the GPSCC in
these Bylaws or to the California Green Party in the state party's
bylaws.

Organize, Energize, Coalize!
