Old Business:
The stairs and patio project will need to be completely restarted after the water recedes.
The compass rose design provided by the Commodore can be scaled up for use on the flagpole base and the patio after the water recedes.
The Memorial Day Weekend Brunch was a success.
There has been no response from the potential donor of a boat to the Sea Scouts regarding donating the boat for resale and not to be added to the fleet.
There is some continuing interest obtaining water on the club grounds through a windmill. Lindgren will check on the cost of a refurbished windmill. Mullen will ask the Corps about drilling a well while he visits with the Corp personnel during the up coming inspection.
New Business:
There was a discussion of items needing to be done after the floodwaters recede. They included:
A. Blocking the entry road until it dries to avoid it becoming rutted.
B. Clearing debris from the road and grounds
C. Replacing or re-hanging the netting under the shelter
D. Power washing the shelter and other areas
It was moved, seconded and passed that the Commodore should be granted the following
powers to be exercised in consultation with the Vice Commodore and Rear Commodore to deal with the emergency caused by the flooding:
A. The power to keep the club grounds closed, even to members, until he deems the grounds safe.
B. The power to call a workday at a time of his choosing.
C. The power to spend up to $1,000.00 for cleanup purposes without further approval from the board.
D. That the above listed powers should be considered part of extensive powers to deal with the aftermath of the flood and not limitations on the powers of the Commodore.
Mullen is going to check with FEMA to determine if there are any federal funds to help
the club with cleanup.
During a discussion of the June social event to be hosted by the Mullens it was decided that it was important to have the next social event on the club grounds if possible, but that if there is to be a great delay in getting the club grounds ready to host a social event strong consideration should be given to having it somewhere else in order to keep involvement in club strong among the members
There was a lively discussion of establishing a “Capital Improvements Buy In Fee” for new members with many different views and ideas expressed. The matter was tabled to the July board meeting to give board members a chance to think about the ideas expressed by the other members.
Mullen was authorized to sell the club’s Seagull outboard motor in the manner and for an amount he deems to be in the best interest of the club.
The meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted
Henry Otto, Secretary
