2.     The September meeting minutes were approved.

 

3.     The Financial Report was not available because there was a problem retrieving it from the computer.  Dave is planning to convene a meeting on the Capital Project.

 

4.     Dave presented the proposed budget for 2007, and a handout was distributed.  Dues will be increased by $50.00/year, and there will be a small increase in the storage fee.  Because of the planned work on the house, the Galley will be closed for the months of January and February, and there will be no minimum for these months.

 

5.     Dave Frizell presented the Commodore’s Report.

 

a.     The mooring field agreement was approved by the Board during the Executive session.

b.     Progress is being made on the dock permits.

 

6.     Vicky Jo Neiner presented the Vice Commodore’s Report.

 

a.     There is a new house cleaner, and he is a diligent worker.  He has cleaned the floors and done some landscaping.

b.     The Change of Command event will be held on November 18th.

 

7.     Dennis Meichel had no pressing items for the Rear Commodore’s Report.

 

8.     Old Business.  None.

 

9.     New Business.

 

a.     Dave thanked everyone, including the four members who will be leaving the Board, for their contributions and help.

b.     A motion was made that the Board recommend to the membership to finance the Grill/Surf room project.  Funds would be allocated approximately as 20% Surf room, 20% porch, and 60% Grill room.  Dave recommended a financing plan of $150,000 over five years.  The motion passed.

c.     A motion was passed that the Bar Committee be granted authority to increase prices across the board or individually, not to exceed 12%.

d.     A motion was passed that a committee be formed to review, with input from the Galley, the personnel guidelines policy.  The committee would be appointed by the current Vice Commodore.

e.     A motion was passed to propose to the membership that a capital item be added to expand the Point of Service to include the Galley.  The total cost to include the Galley would be about $4,500, and Slavko has agreed to pay half.

f.      Ann alerted the Board that a neighbor was selling a 13’ Boston Whaler, which included a 40 hp outboard engine.  Ann will send Dave the details.  If the Whaler replaces a workboat, it will be a Sinking Fund item.

 

10.   The meeting was adjourned at 22:28.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

Fred Hartner,

Secretary
