I. CURRENT BUSINESS

Activities – Tom Martin The fitting out party made about $150. Tom needs to get the copies of the activities reconciliation forms from the Treasurer. Club House – Scott Greenfelder The new door arrived and should be installed this coming weekend. Light bulbs will be changed out. The first-floor exterior of the clubhouse still needs to be power washed; that will be done in the next couple weeks. The trim on the bar will also be completed next week. Harbor & Grounds – Bill Calihan Running water to a several wells still needs to be completed. It was recommended that a list of tasks that need to be completed be prepared so that any week managers that have free time and want to take the initiative can complete some jobs. A new shop-vac, bench grinder and two barbecues were purchased. The cement pad near the guest wells still needs to be completed. Brett Kahl will be coming to the island to provide a quote on ice clusters; Bill will see if he can get Brett to bring the cement over. The board discussed the unique service that Brett and Ron Kahl have provided over the years, and it was suggested that Brett and his wife would still like to be members of NCYC but they have a difficult time doing their work hours because of their marine business. In the past the club had received service rates that offset the value of their work hours. Since the club relies heavily on that unique service, the Commodore will discuss the potential of a continued relationship (work-or-pay offset as a documented service cost reduction) with Brett and his wife as members. Membership – Kim Miedema An online application was sent in and another application was received. The board discussed whether or not a new member should be brought after Opening Weekend during boating season. The potential of a mentor program and/or introductions at any General Membership Meeting for members that join mid-season were brought up to ensure those new members feel welcomed. MOTION: Moved by Scott Greenfelder and seconded by Bill Calihan to allow new members to be voted in and join the club mid-season in 2017. Motion Carried Clarification was provided that P/C Gary Barnard was granted permanent relief of work hours in the January 2017 Board of Directors Meeting. Publications – Ron Draper Approximately 65% of the Rosters have been distributed. In 3 or 4 weeks, Rosters will be mailed to any members that haven’t picked them up. A class on how to do a Fan-Out will be held after this meeting. Secretary – Glenn Nixon There have been minor shifts in the work weekend schedule, primarily favoring Labor Day coverage. There are still a few members who haven’t responded on their work weekend placement. Work weekend coverage is in fairly good shape.
