Authorization to Designate Housing Allowance for 2019
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Business Services Team leader be authorized to designate housing
allowance amounts for qualified employees of the Executive Board of California Southern
Baptist Convention in compliance with section 107 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Background:
Internal Revenue Service regulations require that the employer designate housing allowances for
each clergy member. The Executive Board must approve this designation. Since staff members
may change their allowance anytime during the year and because an allowance must be set when
a new staff member begins work, the CSBC Executive Board could make these adjustments only
three times annually. However, the Board can designate a staff member to fulfill this
requirement at any time during the year.
Action:
Approved by Executive Committee – January 23, 2019
Approved by Executive Board – January 24, 2019
Corporate Officers for 2019
Recommendation
It is recommended that CSBC corporate officers for 2019 be:
Billy D. Agee, Chief Executive Officer
Michael B. McCullough, Chief Operations Officer & Secretary
Marc Tempesta, Chief Financial Officer
Background
The Corporations Code of the State of California requires all California corporations to have a
minimum of three corporate officers defined as the chief executive officer, chief financial officer
and secretary. Their appointments must be approved by the board of directors and recorded in the
official minutes of the organization. One person may hold more than one position.
Action:
Approved by Executive Committee – January 23, 2019
Approved by Executive Board – January 24, 2019
Authorization to Transact Business for 2019
Recommendation:
It is recommended that Corporation (California Southern Baptist Convention) officers,
each acting alone, is authorized and empowered to act on behalf of the Corporation, to
sign contracts and loan documents, open bank accounts, and transact other business
that may be in the interest of the Corporation.
Officers of the Corporation are:
Billy D. Agee, Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer
Michael B. McCullough, Chief Operations Officer
Marc Tempesta, Chief Financial Officer
Background:
From time to time vendors ask for proof of authorization to transact business on behalf of the
Corporation. This can be awkward if the Board has not passed a recommendation to that effect.
This recommendation enables corporate officers to conduct business for the Convention.
Action: Approved by Executive Committee – January 23, 2019
Approved by Executive Board – January 24, 2019
Legal Counsel for 2019
Recommendation:
It is recommended that Matthew Hoffman be retained as legal counsel for California Southern Baptist
Convention for 2019.
Background:
This matter is brought to the Executive Board annually during its January meeting. An attorney from the
Fresno firm of Baker Monock & Jensen, PC has served CSBC as corporate legal counsel since 1991.
Mr. Hoffman is an associate in that firm. He has professional expertise in matters related to religious
non-profit organizations and is familiar with our organization having assisted CSBC former counsel. Mr.
Hoffman has represented CSBC since 2017.
