LSCC Minutes for Board Meeting
October 10, 2001

• The Treasurer’s report was read and approved.
• The September Meeting Minutes were approved as emailed.

• The MV Ballet School lease was passed out to discuss.  Terms and rent part of the agreement will be  reworked by Steve, Janie and Carol and presented at the next meeting for ratification by the Board.
• Doug Geiger presented the results of the Email Survey on the LSCC Newsletter and potential electronic distribution.  Out of 98 contacted, 33 responded.  Responses were positive in regard to the use of Emailed electronic copies over mailing out the newsletter.  The one area that respondents most want to know about is club activities.  Doug will distribute the survey results via email to the board  There was a discussion about how to phase out the mailings and further develop the Email address listing.  Doug was asked to resend out the survey for more responses and report back.
• The water quality issue was tabled until the next meeting as Bob Rothschilds was not present.  Doug Geiger indicated he had some discussions with Bob and that Bob is going to meet with Jason Paulsen on City involvement in water quality sampling as the County and State seem to be cutting their programs.  State grants are available to assist in funding this sort of activity.  It was also noted that there may be a need for volunteers to collect water quality samples as 2 volunteers have left the program: John Davies has resigned and Dick Veldhuis has passed away. Doug Geiger and Glenn Ross have indicated they would continue.  The newsletter will be used to advertise for volunteers.
• Julie presented an email to board members in advance of the meeting following up on the suggestion that Board Members and Associated Club Personnel be rewarded one free usage of the clubhouse annually for serving on the Board.  She indicated that Cindy Kerley, Clubhouse Manager, suggested that if a Board Member does not use the reward, they would not be allowed to use it years later.  They must use it that year or lose it. This would minimize the bookkeeping problems of who got what benefit.  It was suggested that usage would be for one time of six hours maximum or some other standard.  All rules and regulations outlined by the standard rental agreement would apply, except the rental fee would be waived.  The Board Member must attend at least 50% of the meetings to be eligible. Julie is to write up a final proposal with the ideas presented and this proposal will be voted on at the next meeting.
• LSCC Work Party--no input from the advertisements has been received.  A short discussion on what is needed to be done to winterized the Clubhouse, but only the water pipes were indicated.  The water pipes will be checked by Steve.  A check of the programmable thermostat indicated that a low heat setting in the building will be sufficient to keep the pipes from freezing.
• All bills from the Fourth of July have been paid.
• An inventory of event signs was made. Four are stored in the back storage area  It was decided that the Club needs more types of signs, so that people are well informed of upcoming events.  Steve will call Polly Rohrbach, who purchased the previous signs, about purchasing more.  Needed are signs that advertise Dock Party, Meetings, and extra arrows.

• The mayor election in Black Diamond is to be publicized at a forum at the Clubhouse on Oct 22 or 24 at 7:30PM.  (Oct 24 was determined based on candidate availability)  Both candidates, Howard Botts and Barry Kombol, will be invited to speak, as well as other city and county candidates.  Mike Cline is to contact all the city candidates as an invitation, Doug will try to contact County Executive candidates.  Steve, Bart, Carol and Doug will work on the advertising flyers, and Annette and Steve will distribute them.
• Road Cleanup is set for October 27 at 9:30AM.  Kathy Davis is the Chairman.
• The Welcome Wagon topic was tabled until the next meeting.
• Barry Kombol asked for volunteers to sponsor kids at the Covington Kent-Kangley Firestation as they take part in the voting process in November.  LSCC will consider it, after more information is collected.
• Combining the LSCC Newsletter with the Black Diamond Monthly Newsletter is being considered.  The editor of the BD Monthly is agreeable to including our news.  It will be done on a trial basis.  Doug will advertise on the LSCC webpage for a volunteer that is needed to coordinate the LSCC newsletter with the BD Monthly.  Carol suggested that the LSCC webpage be advertised in order to bring more people up to date on happenings.
• Rules for replacing a board member was discussed.  According to the Constitution, 2/3 of the Board needs to ratify any appointment.

• Doug: come up with a list of names who said they didn’t receive a hard copy of survey so the mailing database can be checked  Provide this info to the Treasurer, Carol
• Doug: pursue redeveloping the website with the help of Kevin Myette
• Steve: call Polly re: signs
• Steve: organize the forum for BD mayoral race and other candidates
• Steve: talk to Janie re Welcome Wagon

Respectfully Submitted,

Annette Thompson
