CAPTIAL CURLING CLUB BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING

 November 16, 2005

 Members Present: Tom Pomonis, Roxy Howes, Dan Buresh, Jeff Bakken, Roger Peet, Cathy Janikowski, Larry Brekke, Greg Hiemenz, Lynn, Neutz, John Kram.

 Minutes from the October meeting were approved.

 Committee Reports:

 House and Ice: General discussion was held. The concensus seems to be that playing conditions are consistent, with fast ice.

 League: General discussion was held around the formation of this year’s leagues. It appears that everyone who wanted to curl had at least one opportunity to do so. Several teams are still looking for regular players.

 Finance: As of the meeting approximately ¾ of the club members have paid their league fees. Part of the issue of getting a solid count is that we do not have rosters for all teams. It appears that more teams than normal have not obtained a sponsor, or have not paid the sponsor fee. It is unclear if this fee was communicated to new teams with sufficient clarity. We had initial discussion about how far to go in collecting sponsorship fees. This, along with unpaid dues will be action items for the December board meeting.

 Other Business:  

• The club has purchased a $1 million dollar liability insurance policy for board members.
• A motion was made, and passed to purchase a digital camera for club use, not to exceed $150.
• General discussion was held about the possibility, and necessity of having an accountant help with the club financial statements/books. This may be wise from a checks and balances standpoint, and is not an indicator of the performance of current or past treasurer’s.
• The pizza fundraiser is going well. It is likely that the club will make somewhere between $500 to $1000 from this effort.
• The Parks and Recreation District has re-keyed all of the locks in the building. They are also in the process of putting in a combination lock on the club room door. The board passed a motion to limit the number of keys available to less than 12. These keys will be made available to those members who can demonstrate a need to be able to open the outside door. Access to the club will still be available to those who need it, when they need it. However there will be considerably less members with keys.
