Attendance – A quorum was declared with the following officers and directors in attendance: Christine Cote, Pat Danielson, Joe Kennish, Cami Leonard, Dan Marples, Steve Pickett, Kirsten Stoffer, Louise Tabayoyon, John Warren, and KL Wombacher. Members in attendance were John Benson, Brian Blount, Doug Cochran, Stan Pratt, and Mike Wilson
Minutes Approved – Pat moved and Joe seconded to approve the minutes of the September 1st and September 20th meetings as e-mailed and presented. Motion carried.
Director Replacement Nominated – Kirsten moved and John seconded to nominate Stan Pratt to fill the vacancy created by Amy’s leave of absence. Motion carried. Pat will publish the nomination on the website immediately to allow for the required one week notification before voting at the general membership meeting on 10/18/05.
New Member Induction Fees Increase – Joe moved and Pat seconded to propose increasing the new member induction fee from the current rate of $50 to $85 effective 10/01/05. Motion carried. This is a one time fee paid by new members, at the time of application, which covers International $50, PNW District $30, and local club $5 enrollment costs. Pat will publish the proposed increase on the website immediately to allow for the required two week notification before voting at the general membership meeting on 10/25/05.
New Member – Kirsten moved and Cami seconded to accept Margaret Filkins application for membership effective 10/01/05, and to pay the increased $35 new-member fee on her behalf since her application was received with payment at the old rate. Motion carried. Margaret is sponsored by Brian Blount and Jo McLain and is employed at the YMCA.
Member Resignation – Pat moved and KL seconded to accept Ron Anderson’s membership resignation effective 9/30/05. Motion carried with many regrets. Ron’s employment has transferred him to the Ellensburg area and he will not be available for meetings.
Executive Committee – Pat moved and Cami seconded to establish a new Executive Committee to be comprised of the immediate Past President, President, President Elect, Vice President, and Secretary/Treasurer. Motion carried. This committee shall be non-policy making, and will meet prior to each board meeting to provide planning and continuity to the board meetings. Dan moved and Pat seconded to allow the use of a pre-published consent agenda at all board meetings. Motion carried.
Committee Orientation – Pres. Steve announced that he will host a Committee Orientation meeting on Wednesday, 10/19/05, 5:30 pm, at 1330 N. 16th Ave. All directors and committee chairpersons (or a representative) are expected to attend to review committee’s responsibilities, goals, and reporting.
2005-2006 Budgets – Doug presented the proposed Administrative and Community Services budgets as prepared by the budget committee. After review and discussion, Doug will make some adjustments and present again at a special board meeting to be called after the membership meeting on Tuesday, 10/11.
Swim Meet Project Eliminated – Upon John’s urging, Pat moved and Dan seconded to eliminate the YMCA Swim Meet as an annual service project of the club. Motion carried. Current swimming pool closures and declining member participation makes this inevitable.
Announcements – Pres. Steve reported that our club has been offered the donation of 2 vending machines to use as a money making project. Christine will contact Lynn Smith to advise that the club did not feel we could oversee this type of project at this time. Brian will be announcing the next club social scheduled on Sunday, 10/16, of cabin fun with hiking, at the next club meeting.
Adjournment – With no other business to discuss the meeting was adjourned 1:53 pm
Respectfully submitted,
Louise Tabayoyon, Secretary
