Board Meeting Minutes April 15, 2007
Attending: Board members, Denise Watermeier, Clark Brink, Carol Kopeck, Brent Parker , John Dent; Treasurer, Pat Hooley; Building Captains, Dick Zoellner and Diane Rue.
Treasurer’s Report: Acceptance of the treasurer’s report was moved by Carol Kopeck and seconded by Clark Brink. It passed unanimously. Clark explained that he had talked with manager of Bird Key Yacht Club about monies we owed the estate of Dr. King, our sponsor for the annual meeting. The amount was more because we had reserved a bigger portion of the room. The Club agreed to split the difference with us( take $100 off the bill) because we were not informed of the charge. For future meetings they would be more inclined to wave the fees if we would allow publicity about club to be available at our meetings. We decided to agree as long as it was understood that the Association was not endorsing the club. Therefore, we will send a check for $315 to the estate and the club will reimburse us for other $100. Clark will contact the Yacht Club about the check.
Minutes: They were approved as emailed to Board.
Streetscaping Project: The city considers this project to be primarily an engineering one rather than a landscaping one. Brent explained the city received only one reply to their Request For Proposal for the job so they have asked for another round of RFPs. This will delay the project about a month.
Newsletter: Carol will try to have a newsletter out sometime in June to publicize our July breakfast meeting and to get out hurricane preparedness data. Therefore, breakfast preparations should be decided upon at May meeting. We have talked to Sarasota Yacht Club about doing one there with a speaker from Mote Marine about Red Tide, but we will also look into Bird Key and Marina Jack. Pat will try to have directory ready for the July meeting.
Old Business: Directors Liability Insurance: Since we had passed the streetscaping project our liability risk was down, so it was decided not to continue seeking it.
Drainage: The approval for new easement is out of committee and Denise will write a letter asking the City Commission to speedily pass this. We want it ready for hurricane season.
By Laws Amendment: Denise asked Dianne Rue and Dick Zoellner to count the ballots at the Picnic later that day.
Picnic: We discussed preparations for Picnic and what should be on program beside the vote on amending by laws. Pat will report on drainage situation and Carol will have hurricane disaster information from Dianne Rue ready for captains of buildings to take back. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Carol Kopeck, Secretary
