• First draft of 2018 OD Manual sent to board for input on 3/8. Requested responses by end of March. I will then update the documents to send to weekend OD and weekday managers for their input during the month of April. Will then finalize and request board approval on the final version at the May meeting. Packages will be printed and assembled prior to opening weekend.

• Attempting to coordinate with Ken Smith on populating the online calendar. • Debbie needs to email names of resignations so they don’t get scheduled.

• Scanned all the roster sheets to update the schedule. • Talked about working with Ken Smith on POS manual. Supplies –

Dale Hall One thing. An update from last month. Different prices for visitors at the bar. Proposed we have a swipe card and set up one of the registers at a different price. The “party” prices would also become our guest prices. This will require logging on and off for switching between member and party/guest prices. P/C Carroll raised the concern about raising prices for guests. He brought up that one reason people come back to the club is the reasonable bar prices. Lots of discussion took place about the pros and cons of charging higher bar prices for guests and its ability to bring in more revenue by charging higher prices. It was brought up that a number of our members were questioning why we allow guests to get the same bar discount as paying members. Discussed the loss of revenue from cutting back on guests visiting the club. Board agrees with charging higher prices for clubs and organizations that come in for the day vs. people visiting to stay overnight. Also discussed reducing the number of outside rendezvous coming in from other clubs. Do we allow too many? NCYC is a private club. Decision was made to proceed with the second cash register card so changing party prices will be easier (simple swipe). Concerned about the complexity for doing this. Will educating the members who don’t bartend much will be a concern? Not a concern as this won’t have to be done multiple times, just for party events. Transportation – Darryl Campbell Belfore’s canal still has lots of ice preventing Fin launch at this immediate time. Port Supply account used by Darryl to support Fin needs has been closed. May look to Mid-West supply instead. There’s an unmarked watercraft trailer in the club parking lot. Will be taken outside fence. Tom Altobelli asked Darryl to notified the board members once the first Fin gets launched. Commodore Pagel stated the need to communicate when someone takes the Fin to ensure no one needs it and it isn’t there. Fleet Captain – Ken Lipowski No repot.
