"For a period of 10 days after the closure date for resolutions and members' votes, a standing subcommittee of members in conjunction with the Club Secretary and the board member for governance, will meet to consider the consolidation of all motions on a similar theme which if passed would negate each other. In doing so, the committee will seek agreement from all proposer signatories to the relevant motions.

Where agreement is gained, the original motions will be withdrawn with the consent of all proposers, and the consolidated motion will go forward to the General Meeting. A consolidated resolution or members' vote shall be treated as any other resolution or members' vote.

Where consent from all the proposers of motions subject to consolidating cannot be obtained, but there is a majority of the proposers in favour of consolidation, the motions will be consolidated.

The proposers supporting the consolidated motions will have their names removed from the original motions and appended to the consolidated motion.

Where a minority of the proposers of the motion so consolidated do not agree with this action, they may proceed with the motion in its original form, subject to the rule governing resolutions and members' votes i.e. that the motion is supported by a minimum of 5 members.

If no agreement on consolidation can be reached, the relevant motion or motions will proceed to the GM as originally drafted"

It is proposed that election policy rules 3.3, 3.9 and 3.10:

• Each member may vote for as many candidates as there are vacancies on the Board by clearly marking an "X" in the boxes next to their preferred candidates.
• Once all votes have been counted the candidate with the highest number of votes will be elected to the Club Board, followed by the candidate with the second highest number of votes and so on until all vacancies on the Club Board have been filled subject to the following points 10, 11 and 12:-
• Should any candidate or candidates receive the same or fewer votes as "Re-open nominations" they will not be elected.

Should be replaced by the following:

• Each member may vote for as many candidates as there are vacancies on the Board by clearly marking the boxes next to their preferred candidates with numbers according to their order of preference, with 1 indicating 1st preference, 2 indicating 2nd preference etc. until either:
  • all of their votes are exercised;
  • they indicate a preference for "Re-open Nominations"; or
  • they decide not to exercise any further preferences.
• Where a member exercises more votes than they are entitled to, or indicates further preferences after indicating one for "Re-open Nominations", only the votes that they were entitled to exercise, or the preferences up to and including that indicated for "Re-open Nominations" shall be counted.
• Once all votes have been counted the candidate with the highest number of first preference votes will be elected to the Club Board and eliminated from the remaining counting process.
• The candidate with the highest combined total of first and second preference votes will then be elected to the Club Board and eliminated from the remaining counting process.
• This process will continue with the candidate with the highest combined total of first, second and third preference votes being elected to the Club Board, followed by the candidate with the highest number of first, second, third and fourth preference votes etc. until either:
  • All vacancies on the Club Board are filled; or
  • "Re-open Nominations" is elected on to the Club Board with a combined total of relevant votes which is higher than, or equivalent to, the combined total achieved by any other candidate still included at that point in the counting process

2016 General Meeting

15th May 2016

Please note that the Scrutineer specifically stated that abstentions should not be considered when determining the percentage of votes cast in favour or against any Resolution or Members' Vote. This was further checked with Co-ops UK who advised that since FC United's rules do not explicitly say that abstentions will be counted in the final total, an abstained vote does not count as a vote cast and so should not be counted when doing the percentage for and against.

Resolution 1

The Annual Business Plan should be approved by members by means of a vote before the end of the previous reporting period. If not voted in, a modified Plan should be developed taking into account members' input and concerns. Progress against the Plan should be reported on a quarterly basis to all members.

This resolution shall replace Resolution 17 from November 2015 in its entirety.

This resolution requires the vote in favour of a simple majority of the members who vote in person or by proxy to be passed.

2015 Annual General Meeting

26th November 2015

Resolution 1

THAT RSM UK Audit LLP (formerly Baker Tilly UK Audit LLP) be re-appointed as the auditors of the Club for the period up to the end of the next Annual General Meeting of the Club, and that the Board are hereby authorised to fix their remuneration

For - 93.3%
Against - 3.5%
Abstain - 3.2%

This resolution is passed with a simple majority.

Resolution 2

Ahead of every ballot in which the membership elects candidates for the Board, the club should ensure the prominent inclusion within the relevant voting documentation of a summary of the IPS rules governing the make-up of the FC United Board. Specifically, that the Board can legally operate with any number from 2 members, up to a maximum of 11 - hence there being no need for members to vote for candidates they might not deem suitable in the event of a small field.

For - 73%
Against - 17%
Abstain - 10%

Rule 29 requires the vote in favour of not less than two-thirds of Members voting at the AGM - therefore Resolution 2 is passed.

Resolution 3

The club's stated Election Policy - as published on the official website - includes the option "Re-open nominations" as an automatic entrant in all elections to the FC United Board. This Election Policy should be amended to hold that, where the candidate "Re-open nominations" scores a higher percentage of votes than other candidates with places on the Board still unfilled, those places will remain vacant until the following year's AGM (or until any interim EGM is called for the purpose of filling said places), as long as the Board remains properly constituted with at least two elected members.

For - 37%
Against - 54%
Abstain - 9%

Rule 29 requires the vote in favour of not less than two-thirds of Members voting at the AGM - therefore Resolution 3 is not passed.

Resolution 4

As soon as possible the club should draw up a clear and precise 'Organisation Chart' showing the areas of responsibility of all club officials, paid and unpaid, and which roles - filled either by staff or volunteers - fall under whose responsibility.

For - 78%
Against - 17%
Abstain - 5%

Rule 29 requires the vote in favour of not less than two-thirds of Members voting at the AGM - therefore Resolution 4 is passed.

Resolution 5

The Board should put in place an appropriate complaints procedure for anyone who has a contractual relationship - either written or implied - to provide goods or services to the Club, including, but not exclusive to, employees (whether on permanent, fixed term or casual contracts), agency staff, freelancers, consultants, contractors or volunteers.

For - 94%
Against - 5%
Abstain - 1%

Rule 29 requires the vote in favour of not less than two-thirds of Members voting at the AGM - therefore Resolution 5 is passed.

Resolution 6

The Board should commission a review of the Broadhurst Park construction project as soon as possible. This should identify exactly what caused and contributed to the numerous delays and cost overruns, including to what degree these can be attributed to mistakes made by the club and its officials, as much as to what were accountable to outside contractors. With at least £1 million more needing to be spent to finish the ground it is important for everyone connected to FC United to understand where things went wrong so as to ensure any similar expensive mistakes are not repeated, and have confidence that club funds will be spent wisely in future.

For - 42%
Against - 52%
Abstain - 6%

Rule 29 requires the vote in favour of not less than two-thirds of Members voting at the AGM - therefore Resolution 6 is not passed.

Resolution 7

At the 2012 AGM, Resolution 2 was proposed by the Board. It stated that "with effect from the close of this meeting all votes taken at quorate FCUM Board meetings that do not meet with a unanimous response from those Board members present shall require a full voting list to be recorded and appear in the relevant minute. The voting list will name all Board members alongside their individual votes." Since then not one vote has ever been taken, suggesting that every Board decision has been wholly unanimous. If this is the case then in future, where a vote is not taken and a decision is deemed to have been passed unanimously, the minutes should record that every Board member was in favour of that decision.

For - 68%
Against - 23%
Abstain - 9%

Rule 29 requires the vote in favour of not less than two-thirds of Members voting at the AGM - therefore Resolution 7 is passed.

Resolution 8

Up to three members shall be invited to each monthly Board Meeting to act as observers. Observers will not be permitted to vote at meetings, nor will they be permitted to speak at meetings unless invited to do so by the Chair/Convenor on a point of clarification. Members will be able to notify the club of their desire to attend such a meeting, and where demand exceeds the number of places available a ballot will be held to decide who is admitted.

For - 61%
Against - 29%
Abstain - 10%

Rule 29 requires the vote in favour of not less than two-thirds of Members voting at the AGM - therefore Resolution 8 is not passed.

Resolution 9

It is proposed that up to 6 co-owners shall be invited to Board Meetings to act as observers. Observers will not be permitted to vote at meetings, nor will they be permitted to speak at meetings unless invited to do so by the Chair/Convenor on a point of information.

For - 28%
Against - 55%
Abstain - 17%

Rule 29 requires the vote in favour of not less than two-thirds of Members voting at the AGM - therefore Resolution 9 is not passed.

Resolution 10

A list of working groups (as defined under Rules 82-84) and their members will be publicised on the members' website. Working groups will also publish minutes on the members' website. Working group positions will be clearly advertised and then selected by the Board.

For - 94%
