November Board Meeting Minutes (Proposed)
Proposed Minutes
Walton Club Board of Directors
Monday, November 15, 2010
Meeting called to order by President Dave Rippey at 6:15 PM.
Members present: Mark Swan, Terri Odell, Desiree Regnier, Linda Keeley, Steve Miller and Jeri Schultz. Also in attendance: Members-Elect Dave Smithburg, Terry Baptie and Pat Booth.
Minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.
The Treasurer’s Report was read and approved.
Old Business:
• Desiree reported that the contract had already been signed at Graf, so no call was made yet. We will contact them to see if they can send us the financial statements in advance of the meetings.
• Dave asked the Board to vote on whether or not to retain Graf and Co. for our monthly accounting/payroll. The motion carried, with one vote against and one abstained.
• There was some concern regarding the money collected for the trees. Dave Smithburg reported that all money went through the Club, including the money given directly to Larry. The trees will be here Friday, we believe.
• The tiling was done on the ditch on #3/#4, a berm was built behind #4 tee and a tile put in under a portion of the cart path. The brush was pushed further down toward the railroad tracks. Tiling was also completed around #2 green, down to the lake. Roger Drish was kind enough to offer up equipment as well as John Pfeiffer and Rick to work with Steve Miller, who bought the tile and also furnished equipment. It will need some finish work this fall and/or spring.
New Business:
• There was much discussion concerning labor costs and things we could do to better appropriate those funds.
• Dave Rippey will take over as liaison to Graf for the remainder of the year.
• Mark created a new email address: waltonboard@thewaltonclub.com. We will give it to Graf for sending financial reports, and can be used by the membership as an avenue to communicate with the Board.
• The Board will be considering revised job descriptions for all positions.
Manager’s Report:
• One social membership was approved.
• The dryer was broke, but Terry Baptie and Steve Booth managed to fix it.
• Thanks to Desiree and Kim Olson for all their help during the Fall Festival. We fed approximately 110 people. John Dunbar won the gift basket, which raised over $200. The band was paid $100 from Walton in addition to over $200 from passing the hat. Next year, we will either take reservations or sell tickets.
• Kirk brought up the idea of having a trail fee, especially since our cart sheds are no longer full. Mark would like to table the official decision until after the first of the year, as there may be several members who simply haven’t paid yet, but plan on renewing their spots.
• Christmas party is scheduled for December 12th.
• We are at the upper end of our credit limit. We will likely need to extend that limit to get through the winter.
• Kirk is going to start bartending one or two days per week, with Karen leaving.
• Kirk is looking at ways to cut costs, and will continue to discuss over-pours with the bartenders. They will also go to a check-in/check-out system for bottles, and move the liquor away from the end of the party bar. The door to the walk-in can’t be closed all the time due to the heat buildup, but can maybe be closed during parties.
• The club will investigate security cameras for the premises.
Superintendant’s Report:
• Not present
The meeting adjourned at 8:30 PM
The next Board Meeting is scheduled for Monday, December 13th at 6:00 PM.
