SUMMARY:Special General Meeting of the Auckland Astronomical Society
DESCRIPTION:Notice of Special General Meeting \nThe Auckland Astronomical Society Council have called for a Special General\nMeeting to be held at 19:45 on Monday 26 th April at the Stardome Observatory\nand Planetarium. This is immediately prior to the 2021 Annual General Meeting. \nSpecial General Meeting Agenda \n1. AAS Rule change approval.\nThe current rule 25 is as follows: \n“25. The Council may invest and re-invest the whole or any part of the funds of\nthe Society which are not required for immediate business in interest-bearing\ngovernment or trading bank investments registered with the Reserve Bank of\nNew Zealand.” \nThe AAS Council propose replacing this rule as follows: \n“25. The Council may invest the funds of the Society which are not required for\nimmediate business in Government stock or debentures\, a community founda-\ntion\, or trading bank interest-bearing investments\, managed investment\nschemes\, portfolio investment entities\, or investments of similar nature\, as the\nCouncil may from time to time think fit.” \nThe reason for this proposal is the low level of return of interest bearing invest-\nments. The society funds can be invested for better returns without incurring\nundue risk. \nThe current AAS rules are available at the link below:\nhttps://cloud.astronomy.org.nz/index.php/s/p3WZNz3mZPqExAP \n2. The AAS Assent to the Proposed Auckland Observatory and Plane-\ntarium Trust Deed Changes as specified below. \nThe current Trust Deed specifies that the Auckland Astronomical Society Presi-\ndent and Treasurer are ex-officio Trustees of the Auckland Observatory and\nPlanetarium Trust. The AAS Council requested the AOPTB to prepare an alter-\nation to the Trust Deed granting the Society the power to appoint an alterna-\ntive Trustee instead of the AAS Treasurer. The Trust board agreed to this and\nhave also taken the opportunity to propose some other minor alterations to the\nDeed prepared by the law firm Simspon Grierson. \nThe proposed changes: \nThe key update implemented by these documents is to clause 3 of the sched-\nule to the Trust Deed – designed to permit AAS to appoint any individual (as op-\nposed to the treasurer) as a trustee.\nAlthough SG has not reviewed all of the other details of the schedule\, we have\nsuggested some further changes to the schedule as follows: \n1.\nUpdates to clause 8 of the schedule to refer to current legislation\nrelating to ineligibility to hold office as a trustee of a trust and to act as an offi-\ncer of a registered charity.\n2.\nAffirming the replacement of clauses 16 and 17 of the schedule\,\nwhich were purportedly replaced pursuant to an amendment dated 30 June\n2009 filed with the Companies Office (but not filed on the Charities Register).\nThe purported amendment in 2009 changed the Trust’s balance date to 30\nJune (which we have put in clause 17) and provided for Trust Board annual\nmeetings to be held in September each year (see clause 16).\n3.\nExpanding clause 16 of the schedule to expressly provide for Trust\nBoard meetings to be held by means of audio or audio and visual communica-\ntion. This type of provision is typically included in modern trust deeds to pro-\nvide flexibility.\n4.\nExpanding clause 19 to deal\, not only with the use of the Trust\nBoard’s seal\, but also the wider issue of executing deeds and signing/assenting\nto contracts etc. The clause is intended to reflect related provisions in s19 of\nthe Charitable Trusts Act 1957 and the s13 of the Property Law Act 2007\, and\nshould also assist with the issue that we have come across regarding the full\nTrust Board not having to sign off/approve the Trust Board’s receipt of dona-\ntions.\nThe proposed wording of clause 3:\n(a) the President of the Society for the time being\, who shall be a trustee by\nvirtue of their office in the said Society and shall upon ceasing to hold such of-\nfice cease to be a Trustee and shall be succeeded as a Trustee by their succes-\nsor.\n(b) an individual appointed as a Trustee by the Society (acting in accordance\nwith the rules of the Society) and notified in writing by the Society to the Trust\nBoard (and any such Trustee may be removed by the Society in the same man-\nner). \nThe full proposed Deed of variation is available below: \nhttps://cloud.astronomy.org.nz/index.php/s/J2FraEGZcJNTqDD
