Agenda Additions/Changes: None
Guests: Youth Activities Foundation
- Alta Cowden requested the Cook Shack for June 1, 2007
until August 12, 2007. She said that pals baseball this
year will begin on June 4, 2007. With the littler kids
practicing and playing on Mondays and Tuesdays and the
bigger kids practicing and playing on Thursdays and
Fridays. She wanted to know if the Association was still
going to put bars on the windows of the Cook Shack to
prevent break-ins. Opening Ceremonies will be June 23,
2007 and Alta invited all the Board Members to come.
She said that there should be a lot of visitors from
out of the area. Possibly 3 pitchers retired from the
Giants and Oakland A's, a representative from the Giants
organization and the new Tehama County Pals Commissioner
Joy Nelson. Danny Murray wanted to know if they want
the flag pole moved to center field. He said that volunteers
will move it if the Board approves the move. Right now
the flag can not be seen in the ball field. It is in
the playground area. The board approved the move of
the flagpole. Danny also said he would check into the
bars for the cook shack. Jerry said he was contacted
by Ken Cowden about the possibility of getting grants
for the ball field. Jerry Kohler appointed Bill Massey
and Danny Murray as board liaisons to work with the
Youth Activities Foundation regarding the grants.
Open Forum: -
A member asked if anyone was doing the 4th of July this
year. No one has volunteered. Jerry Kohler said we would
check into it and bring it up at the next meeting.
- A member requested
the maintenance crew clean up the chairs after the meeting,
because they have Bunco on Tuesday nights.
Unfinished Business: Audit and
Financial Reports were postponed until the end of the
meeting.
Board of Director Nominations
- There were none. Road Signs - Danny
Murray has gotten the price of green 40 reflective green
with white lettering street signs for Rancho Tehama
Road and Stagecoach Road. The least expensive estimate
was $3133.00. Danny asked the Board to approve the money
for the signs. Jerry said there is no money in the budget
at this time for the signs. Bill made a motion to approve
purchase of the signs when money in the budget for them
can be found. Jim seconded the motion and it was passed
with a vote of the Board.
Flag Pole was covered under guest.
New Business: Voting Rights -
Jerry Kohler thanked Sheri Schultz for bringing to his
attention the correct way of suspending a member's right
to vote. He said that the Board will be sending out
letters to all members who are in jeopardy of loosing
their voting rights. Jerry read the letter that will
be sent out. The letter will be signed by the full Board.
This letter is to notify people that they can make payment
plans and arrangements to pay their dues and that their
voting rights are in jeopardy. Right now everyone can
vote until they receive their notice of a right to a
hearing. A member suggested that a contact person's
name be put on the letter. Janice Menzies' name will
be put on the letters as a contact person.
Recording Open Board Meetings for the
Minutes - Karis said that our Attorney has said that
recording meetings for minutes purposes is available
to us. The copy would be kept until the written minutes
are approved and then it would be destroyed. Jim Long
did not think it was legal to tape the Board Meetings.
This item is tabled until the next open board meeting
for further investigation.
Financial Reports - Bill Massey
said we are still in the process of changing over to
the new software. Unfortunately it is taking longer
than we anticipated. Bill went over the January 1, 2007
to March 31, 2007 Income Statement. We are slightly
up in receipts from projected amounts, but we are way
over in expenses from the projected amounts. There are
some figures like the prepaid insurance and the audit
that will average out as the year goes on, but we are
over in expenses and payroll, so we will need to try
to cut back in that area. The office has already removed
one position. Jerry Kohler said we need to be careful
in our spending for the rest of the year. He has asked
Malinda to open a General Fund checking account. We
need to consider options for the Transfer Station because
that is a large expense. Mel McNeill from the Budget
and Finance Committee said it was approximately $96,000
per year. Danny Murray said we need to consider ways
to reduce costs such as recycling more. Jerry said we
need to look into making sure we spend the money in
the year earned along with building up our reserve fund
instead of going into monies received in previous year's
receipts.
Audit - Jerry Kohler said we
now have our 2006 audit complete and available to members.
We are not going to send it out this year since we can
not find anywhere in the code that says it is required
to be mailed to all members. We are making it available
to all members free of charge if it is requested. Members
can either call or come in to request a copy of the
audit. The audit is not in the best form to be usable
to us. Next year we will make sure whoever does the
audit has it in a format that is best for us not for
the auditor.
Announcement - Dee Oliver is
having a Town Hall Meeting on April 28, 2007 at 10:00
am. A representative from the Sheriff's Department will
be here to talk about gang recognition and she is also
asking for sign ups of volunteers to assist the Architectural
Committee.
Adjourned to Executive Session:
1012 am.
Respectfully submitted by: Karis
Pierce, Corporate Secretary
