Text: Glad Tidings brought this action against the District Council and the Board members. It sought a declaration that the Board exceeded its authority by transferring the church assets to the District Council. Glad Tidings alleged that the members did not vote to close the church or dispose of the property. The county court, however, determined that the members signified their vote to close the church by standing with Miller at the January 18, 2004, meeting. Further, the court found they were aware that by voting to close the church, they were also voting to dispose of the property because the property would revert to the District Council. Glad Tidings had also argued that board members Wine and Nazarenus had conflicts of interest because they held positions on the District Council and benefited from receiving Glad Tidings' property. Nevertheless, the county court found no genuine issue of material fact regarding a conflict of interest and entered summary judgment for the District Council. Glad Tidings appealed to the district court. The district court affirmed the county court's decision.
