Approval of Minutes: Motion made by Don, seconded by Ken W. to approve Jan. 8 Meeting Minutes - all were in favor.
Treasurer’s Report: Joe provided a recap of club finances. He reported 468 members have renewed to date, 22 new members for a total of 490 members. The new QuickBooks system has been installed. A Monitor Meeting was held last Friday with 25 monitors attending to learn about the new system. Joe made a strong point that funds for the camera/PA system, and any other major purchases, must be approved by the Board prior to spending the money. See Camera & PA update for additional approved funds.
Camera & PA Update: Terry Hurst reported $1,000 was approved by the Board in October 2023 for the camera & PA system. An additional $3,000 (not to exceed) should be approved to cover the remaining costs of this system. Lee made a motion, seconded by Jim, to approve $3,000 for these systems. All were in favor. This funding proposal will be presented to the general membership at the upcoming meeting for approval.
Safety Manual Review: Terry reviewed the Safety Committee’s draft safety manual. The Safety Committee was thanked for the excellent work they did on this manual. The only discussion point involved the wording on pg. 5 for ‘mandatory’ eye protection. A motion was made by Joe, seconded by Jim, to edit the wording. The revision will be reviewed with the Safety Committee and sent to the Board for final approval.
Review Board Slate & Transition: The 2024/2025 Board slate will be finalized at the February 15th General Meeting. A review of the electronic online voting process administered by the Rec Center took place in the event a position has more than one candidate. Dave reviewed suggested functions that the new Board can discuss for the 1st and 2nd Vice President positions.
Dave presented manuals for each Board position consisting of Club By-laws and policies, Rec Center RR&P’s, CR forms, Club Calendar and other useful information that will be a resource for Board members. The manuals will be passed on to each new Board member going forward. Everyone thought the manuals were very useful and thanked Dave for his efforts.
Cold Saw Review: Dave stated that the cold saw was purchased by the club in 1999 for $750. The casters were removed to create a more stable base after the saw tipped over a few weeks ago. This will make the saw safe and secure for club use. Rich Barchman recalibrated the measurement devices for the saw and made other minor improvements.
Lee made a motion, seconded by Joe, to place a hold on any major club equipment purchases until the new Board is in place. All were in favor of this motion.
