Northside Snowmobile Club
Board of Directors Meeting
July 25, 2006

Meeting called to order by the President, Kim Leach, at 7:05PM
First order of business: Review the Agenda.
Motion made by Denise Willber to accept as written, Supported by Don Smith.
Voted, motion carried.

Kim asked for the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting. Minutes read by Jerry Cook, acting Secretary. 2 small changes required for clarification, motion made to accept the minutes as read with corrections, motion: Kris Etheridge, supported by Larry Crandall and Chad Lattimer. Voted, motion carried.
From the President: Kim appointed Rita Wooten to the board as the Social director/chairmen. The board welcomed her and approved her appointment.
Presidents report: Kim attached a proposed calendar to the agenda, will discuss later in the meeting.

New ideas for meetings: Need to educate the new folks, would like the board members to support club functions, lead by example; Kim is concerned about participation, we had a poor showing at the last general membership meeting. Place more emphasis on the newsletter. This is how we communicate with the membership. We can do a better job with articles and advertisers. Need more articles, more actual club info, more on club functions, add pictures, make it interesting. Kris needs our help and input. We know how to do trails, lets get other members involved, grow new board members, groom them to be more active in the club.

We need to start the meetings on time and stick to the agenda. If you will be late, we can adjust the agenda, if absent, try to get someone to attend for you and provide your report. Provide agenda topics to Kim a few days before the meeting, let him know how much time you need. Keep your subjects short and sweet, and on the subject. Once we get an agreed upon calendar, we need to stick to it for planning the rest of the year. This will actually make the planning easier. More on growing new directors; we need to help them, train them. Bring back the “Adopt-a-Trail” program. Try to stimulate more interest.
John Garms declined his nomination for Vice President, we need a replacement.  Keep an eye on the agenda to make sure we stay on track and stick to business.  Keep it fun!

Officers Reports:
Treasurers Report: Jerry Cook. Report was handed out to all present. Last years books were audited at the General Membership meeting. The new report picks up with savings and checking balances as of the audit. Bills were paid from the last meeting, totaling $418.58. Discussed the insurance bill received from Worgess Insurance. The policy appears to cover our official club functions as well as our leased trails from Consumers Energy. Kim will assign the Vice President to review and report. A question was asked concerning the note on the report “$200 to be used for snow emergency only”. It was explained this was the amount of a gift to the club back in the 1970’s as appreciation for assistance. At that time the club voted to save this money for Snow Emergencies, for fuel or whatever it may be need for during a snow emergency.

Motion made to accept the Treasurers report by Don Smith, supported by Kris Etheridge. Voted, motion carried.
Mail received: MSA minutes received. I have them on file. Another letter from the MSA asking for volunteers: Support the Snow Show in October, attend meetings in Lansing, and to sell raffle tickets. The consensus was not to sell tickets, however, if MSA members sell theirs, the club would submit for the bonus.
Also received a letter from the American Cancer Society for our donation to the Relay for Life, held at Lakeview High School in June.
Nominations: John Crawly. Absent. Kim noted we need to start early on getting folks interested in the board. The club trip is an excellent place to work the members.

Social: Rita Wooten. Kim provided a proposed calendar for the year, with dates for social events. We all talked about social duties and the functions as Rita is new. We will hold an informal discussion after the meeting to properly indoctrinate her to the club.

Trail Patrol: Don Smith. No violations so far this year. There could be a possible problem near Bedford Valley Golf Course. Last season a couple greens were damaged, Don talked to his neighbor who works for the course. We just need to keep an eye on the gate. It does not appear they came from our trail. Don will look for volunteers for trail patrol, Denise will use the membership list as a source for volunteers and give to Don.

Safety & Education: Greg Stanley. The next snowmobile safety class may be on 5-6 Dec. This will be firmed up by the next board meeting. Kim asked Greg to provide some safe riding and snowmobile ethics articles for the newsletter this year. Greg agreed.

Membership: Denise Willbur. No new members yet. She provided a new “call in list”, by office/committee, in last name order. New board members asked what this was for. It was explained the list is for calling/notifying the membership of special activities, remind them of meetings, snofari’s, trail maintenance etc. It really helps remind the members of when activities occur, and it seems to work. The Decal budget was discussed next. Motion was made to approve a budget for Denise in the amount of $400.00, to purchase decals and year stickers for the next season. Discussion on whether to purchase “0” or not. Denise is empowered to get the best deal she can. Motion was made by Larry Crandall, supported by Don Smith. Voted, carried.  Denise will put sticker instructions in the newsletter depending on what she purchases’.

Trail Maintenance: Chad Latimer. Kim will provide Chad with a list of trail maintenance volunteers. Chad will write an article for the newsletter outlining the “adopt a trail” program, provide a flexible schedule for trail maintenance, to be firmed up by the next board meeting.
Land Acquisition: Larry Crandall. There has been some changes in ownership, i.e. the Gladys Dunn property. Larry will try and talk to them. Need to check on some other properties that have changed hands. There were no landowner complaints last year, got some good reports on signs and gates. Larry talked to Terry Melchioni from Consumers Energy. She was satisfied with our signs to keep people out. The only complaint was at the east end of the McCarthy lease where Larry dropped a couple trees to keep people from trespassing. No problem from Consumers. We will be receiving a bill from Consumers for our lease; should be around $500 for 1 more year, maybe less next year.

Discussed the McCarthy property being for sale; if it sells, we have priority on the lease, or they won’t lease it at all, leaving our secondary lease for the trail. Larry will try to get his contacts made a bit earlier this year so we can get the trails cleared and marked. He will check with the new owners where he can. Discussed expanding trails over to M66.. Bridges, land owner access, Frank Rupert’s name came up.. Do we need a sub committee? Tabled till next meeting. Larry will also work on an updated Land Owners list, then send them newsletters.

NewsLetter: Kris Etheridge. Need new business cards for advertisers for the newsletter. Recommended we split up the board members to contact advertisers and to explore getting new advertisers. Reviewed the cost; $25 for members, $30 for non-members, for 9 issues. If they want to advertise on the web, add $5. Discussed that we need to research how big we can go with 1 stamp? Then estimate how many advertisers we can handle. Action: Kris. Discussed adding old pictures and have a game to guess who it is, then win a membership or something along those lines. Develop a game/other entertainment/ more pictures etc., make the newsletter more interesting..
 

AdHoc:
Historian: Do we still have a Historian? Rob Burgess is our current historian, will he continue? Mr. President action to check.

Web: No report, will update based on tonight’s meeting.

New Business: Review the proposed calendar. Bring proposed/recommended changes to the next meeting. Meeting Nights, discussed best day of week. Tuesday seems the best for most.

Kim will publish proposed changes to the By-Laws, will put in newsletter. Discussed the change; Quorum for meetings and rules of order etc.

All officers are to submit a newsletter by 2 Aug, to Kris, as an introduction.

Need to firm up the Social Calendar for planning purposes, for board members and club members.

Xmas Party: Jerry to contact the Eagles for the party, proposed date will be Dec. 9th.

Larry suggested a swap meet. Where can we have one, how to get people involved.

Jerry to check with Eagles, see if they are having a fall car show/craft show we could attend as a swap meet.. Also check with the American Legion.

Kim has obtained 30 - 7’ T posts, (donated by Larry Cox)

Discussion: The area on the power line near Chad’s may not need a fence. Chad will keep an eye on the access, will recommend a course of action.

The next meeting will be Sep. 12th, 2006 at Chad Latimer’s house on St. Mary’s lake rd.

Chad and Rita will work out the food for the next meeting.

Old Business:

Online Membership Ordering - Do we want to pursue. The main issues were;

1. Potential members would have to have an online payment account such as PayPal.

2. Credit card payments would cost the club about $1.00 for each one processed.

3. Companies such as PayPal do not allow you to charge more for a credit card payment vs. a checking account debit.

4. Setting accounts up for an online service and interfacing that with our bank.

5. The time needed to implement this on the internet.

After much discussion about fear of the internet and how to recover any online payment charges Kim Leach moved that the topic be tabled indefinitely since he was no longer the Membership Chairman and didn't really care to get that deeply immersed into the web. Don Smith seconded the motion. Motion carried by unanimous vote.

New Business:

Next Board of Directors Meeting will be August 24, 2004 at the Irish Pub.  The meeting will begin at 6:30 PM

Jerry suggested Kim retain membership committee due to his vast expertise, great organizational skills and professional stewardship of the membership committee the past 4 years. Kim declined, but said he would help the incoming membership chairman through their first year.

With the president's approval, Kim handed out the current call list, by alphabet range, of the members each director and officer will represent this year.

Jerry Cook will research the prospect of the club obtaining a scanner/printer for the club to use to print our newsletter.

Don Smith moved that the meeting be adjourned and Jill Mason seconded. The meeting was adjourned at 8:42 PM.
