 Draft Minutes of the LAWCC Auxiliary General Meeting

January 11, 2010

 

Location:  Pizza Factory

 

The meeting was called to order by President, Georgia Knutsen at 10:45 a.m.  Other board members present include Bonnie Sloan, Judy Martin and Rita Isbell.

 

The minutes from the November 16, 2009 LAWCC Auxiliary General Meeting were accepted as read.

 

Treasurer’s Report

The proposed budget for 2010 was handed out.  See attachments.  This document provided budgets from 2007 to the 2010 proposed budget.  Bonnie Sloan explained several changes from the 2009 budget in the proposed budget.


 

                     Auxiliary projects increased by $2,000 to equal $6,000 for 2010.  The auxiliary has not received the 2010 requests from Randy Fluke and Dave Delay.  In 2009, the auxiliary spent a total of $4,278.05; $4,000 for tree trimming in the park and $278.05 for redoing the women’s restroom on Long Iron.

                     Event over runs for 2009 will be lowered once we receive payment from the water board and LAWCC for the July Ice Cream Social.  This line item was increased by $100 to equal $900 for 2010. 

                     The decrease of membership dues is reflected in the proposed budget.   Suggestions were made on how to increase membership in the auxiliary. It was decided to inform homeowners of the contributions the auxiliary makes to support our community by placing information on the Pinecone Telegraph and in the general mailing in January with the annual bill.  It was suggested a postcard be sent to non-members and new homeowners.

                     The checking account equaled $4,224.43 at the end of 2008 and at the end of 2009 equaled $4,225.24.  There is $2,500 in interest earned funds if additional money is needed.

           

Linda White made the motion to approve the 2010 budget and Carol Bornhorst seconded the motion.  A vote was taken and the proposed 2010 budget was approved. 

 

Enloe has raised their price to $30.  Renewal forms will be sent out February 1, 2010.  Existing members may send their checks directly to Enloe.  You must be a member of the auxiliary to eligible.  Most insurance plans will cover emergency flights.  If you are in the hospital, they will take whatever insurance you have.  Only 911 calls are done on a rotation basis.

The meeting was called to order at 10:06 am by President Georgia Knutsen. The minutes were approved as presented.

Treasurer’s Report: Bonnie Sloan gave her report which is attached to these minutes.

Committee Reports:

    The recommendation to add a page to the Auxiliary website for “Things to Sell” and “Things Needed” made by Sharon Auge in an email dated July 20 was discussed. It was moved, seconded and approved that this addition be made to the website. Sharon Auge will be contacted to see how she would like to implement this addition.
    Judy Martin will begin a sign up in September for homes were Needles and Pins will be held.

Old Business:

    Georgia reported that 6 tote bags had been delivered to the Pro Shop for sale. She also reported that Dave would not be doing concrete work in the park this year since there was need for tree trimming and other improvements. She will contact Dave and ask him to submit bills for the work done so that the Auxiliary can issue him a check.
    The Board agreed that the Ice Cream Social following the annual meeting of July 5 was a big success and that we should do it again next year. The total cost was less then $150.00, which will be split between the Auxiliary, WACC and the Water Company. Bonnie will check on the price for milk shake machines for use next year.
    Georgia reported on the success of the yard sale. Twenty six houses held sales. Not many people took the “sale” signs so we probably don’t need them next year. The sign used at the entrance, is now in the store room.

New Business:

    Hot August nights is being handled by Jo Knudsen and will be held on August 15. The general meeting and lunch will be held at Lassen Park on August 24. Sign ups will be requested along with $7.00 for lunch. Reservations need to be made by August 19. Judy Martin will get the lunch items. Georgia will bring (2) 6 foot tables to use for serving. Those attending will be asked to bring their own chairs.
    September 19 is the date of the “Trader Joe Event” to be held at the Club House. This event will be a potluck featuring wine and food from Trader Joe’s.
    Georgia will contact Julie Azevedo regarding Wine in the Pines. She will invite Julie and her committee to attend the September Board Meeting to review how the event will be handled this year.
    The locks on the cabinets at the Club House are in need of work and Hal Martin has volunteered to look into replacing them. He will report back to the board on the cost of new locks.


Miscellaneous:

    A request from Lori Sinclair was given to the Board. This request asked for help in improving the condition of the bathrooms at the Club House. The request is for a sink, cabinet, mirror and faucet in each bathroom. The cost would be about $263.00 for each room. Georgia will talk with Dave Delay to see if some of the funds for this might come from the money the Auxiliary has allocated to him. If not, then the Board will discuss the possibility of providing additional funds.

Agenda Items for September Meeting:
Trader Joe – September 19
