According to the latest available copy of the SCCF (South Coast Community Foundation) bylaws Section 1 – Members there shall be just one class of voting members and the members are limited to the following:
The Members shall be the following governmental bodies, all of which have consented to be Members:
Coos County;
The City of North Bend;
The City of Coos Bay; and
The Oregon International Port of Coos Bay.
As of May 26, 2014, the date of these bylaws, technically the county has not yet formally consented to membership. A vote taken by two of the commissioners, Chairman Melissa Cribbins and John Sweet during a May 6 work session has yet to be ratified through the last three board meetings. Normally, votes taken during a work session end up on the consent calendar for formal ratification and the next regularly scheduled meeting. At the May 10 meeting, however, Cribbins under pressure from the audience critical of the “stealth” vote opened the door for further discussion on the topic. Today, while insisting the May 6 work session vote “still stands”, Cribbins made it clear, perhaps unintentionally, that the matter was by no means a done deal. The SCCF membership, bylaw ratification and appointment of a director are to be held open for Bob Main. “Bob felt he was left out and wants to discuss this further,” said Cribbins.
As I am proudly not a lawyer and therefore I may be wrong here but my understanding is Cribbins has effectively nullified, at least informally but nonetheless during a public meeting, the May 6 vote approving the appointments of John Whitty, Joanne Verger and Bill Lansing as well as the county’s membership in the foundation. The triad resigned May 26 after first appointing new directors and enacting other board actions. Cribbins has been in a meeting this afternoon and has thus far not responded to my email asking if the SCCF matter will be given a slot on the regular agenda or left on the consent calendar.
Under Section 2 – Directors the SCCF bylaws layout some basic terms relating to the residency requirements of the directors, classes of directs and who should be appointing them.
Each Member shall elect one director. The remaining directors, if any, shall be elected by vote of a majority of the Members. The directors chosen by each Member are hereinafter referred to as public directors and the directors elected
by the vote of a majority of the Members are hereinafter referred to as at large directors.
In the military, at least according to my Marine son, there are two types of people, Grunts (infantry, ground pounders, bullet stoppers) and POGs (persons other than grunts). Under the same section 2 mentioned above, the bylaws require that directors have “community standing that will help the board carry out its functions.” 
One of those directors with “standing”, John Whitty, recently referred to anyone opposed to the SCCF operational setup as “yahoos”. So I guess Whitty, et al would regard themselves as persons other than yahoos or POTY, (pronounced potty). Consequently, no yahoos need apply to be on the foundation board.
UPDATE Cribbins, in an email response, has advised that she has left it up to Bob Main whether to put the SCCF matter on the regular agenda. Main confirmed by text message that it will be on the agenda. Therefore, it would seem that the discussion will not simply be about ratifying a vote taken during a work session but instead about whether or not the county will join the SCCF and ratify the bylaws. At this time, since the original directors have since resigned, the approving the triad after the fact would seem pointless.
Let us not forget that, as the last entity needed for SCCF to be a reality, the county was in the strongest negotiating position possible (and they still are). They could have asked for and received anything reasonable that they wanted form Jordan Cove Energy or from the other three members. I understand the county lawyer with no negotiating experience being silent. But Cribbins who insists on advertising herself as an experienced business person and lawyer (debatable) has been silent also.
This proud former far away participant with the Grunts, now labeled Yahoo and Newcomer (that’s any person not born here) (and most of us were not) by the not so witty Whitty and labeled Naysayer by Sweet believes that Cribbins has screwed up royally on this one. Don Gurney cannot be elected soon enough to make her ineffective in all matters county. At the risk of sounding like a 45 rpm recording, Sweet gains personal benefit if he votes for the county to become a part of SCCF and if he votes to accept the board now listed by the SCCF including himself as Vice Chairman and he must recuse himself from the vote on the first of July.
