Officers’ Reports
Chairman Report was presented by Mike Cromwell:
· Dave Adamovich wants to pull $3,000 out of the next quarter router budget and move it into this quarter. The board felt this did not need board approval as it was just a transfer of money.
· During the April BOD meeting the following motion was proposed. In order to receive an exemption for monitor duty a member would be required to put in a minimum of 36 hours of service per year. All non-exempt members will be required to put in 24 hours of monitor duty (6 four-hour shifts) per year starting in 2020. There was a motion by Harm Borfitz to accept the motion and it was seconded by Judi Meyers with a majority voting in the affirmative. There was some confusion about this motion and Mike Cromwell agreed to take the lead to clear up this matter. Mike will put out a written memo to the officers of the BOD explaining what the monitor requirements will be for both the general membership and those members who are exempt from monitor duty.
· The certification of 20 new members per month continues as planned.
· A proposal concerning the distribution of the Board of Directors Minutes has been withdrawn by the author, Mike Cromwell and will become a moot point.
President’s Report was presented by Mike Borfitz.
· The new shop will break ground in July.
· Meetings continue with the villages, and its contractors.
· A discussion on how the villages will monitor capacity of use of the shop was presented.
· At this moment toys will stay at the old location and special projects will move into the new shop.
