Committee Reports
Finance: Dave L. is going to create a new checking
account for juniors wherein he would be writing checks. We have
two accounts, women’s and competition, where we have balances
of $744.91 and $914.65 respectively. After some discussion about
the disposition of these accounts, which have been inactive for
several years, a motion was made by Dave C. to consolidate these
accounts into the general fund. The motion was seconded by Keith.
The motion carried.
Dave reported that revenue collections for ice ads are 75% complete.
We received a check from the city for $14,000 as reimbursement
for capital improvements we have made over the past two years.
Bob said the city want pre-approval for expenditures over $700
but we have yet to receive a letter stating this.
The checkbook balance is approximately $30,000 at this time.
There were no unusual expenses at this time. Dave presented a
list of past due accounts. Most of the items were for sales tax
figured incorrectly or lockers not being included. There were
very few delinquent memberships.
Rob said the finance committee meeting covered outstanding accounts,
the budget, the safe deposit box and rental rates.
A motion to approve the finance report was made by Dave C. The
motion was seconded by Randy. The motion carried. Rob commended
Dave for his work as treasurer.
Bar: Mary said that there was nothing new to
report. Dave L. asked if the pricing signs were current. Rob mentioned
that we should look into getting locks for the coolers. It was
also suggested that the upstairs be locked at times other than
when the bar is in use. Bob said we needed a new lock for the
west door going upstairs and he would take care of it. Rob thanked
Mary for her work running the bar.
Juniors: Randy said he has sent out mailings
for the people who played last year in Monday league. Rob asked
about the possibility of the junior program becoming a 501 3c
so that donations could go directly into the junior program.
President’s Report: Rob said that Kent
Bahr had told him that most of the community ed. curlers are planning
to join leagues. Rob expressed concern that some people had been
told that some leagues were full and that we should be trying
to accommodate everyone who wants to join the club.
General Manager’s Report: Bob presented
some new forms he had created to enable him to better track who
is using lockers and which ones are available. The remainder of
the ice ads will be painted on Nov. 4th. The credit card machine
has been activated. Bob reported that he has rented the club for
four parties.
Old Business: The following rates were
presented for approval:
Parties or bonspiels: $13 per team per day or $700 per day whichever
is greater
Parties without use of the ice: $350 per day
Use of the kitchen: $50 per day
$250 damage deposit per rental
These rates were approved last year but were not implemented
and therefore do not reflect a rate increase. A motion to approve
was made by Dave L. The motion was seconded by Randy. The motion
carried.
Approximately 60 people attended the open house and were enthusiastic
to try curling.
New Business:
Adjournment: A motion to adjourn was
made by Mark S. The motion was seconded by Randy. The motion carried.
The next meeting will be Tuesday, December 5th at 8:30p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Mark LaFond
