A recommendation was made that we continue to pay $90/regular biweekly cleaning. If an event occurs before a regularly scheduled cleaning, Diane would receive a bonus of $50 and the remaining cleaning fee would go to WRYC. If a special cleaning has to be scheduled because of an event, Diane would be paid the entire cleaning fee collected, $90. Motion: Moved by V/C McCaffrey. Motion Carried.

West River Yacht Club

Meeting Minutes October 4, 2014

The minutes of the June 2014 meeting were prepared and distributed electronically by Secretary Angela Edwards. The minutes were approved.

IV. Officer reports

1. Secretary/Treasurer Angela Edwards

S/T Edwards was not present. In her absence, Captain Steve Edwards reported that the general checking account has a balance of $27,667.99. The Fleet Captain account balance is $4,469.71.

3. Rear Commodore Steve Beall

R/C Beall asked the membership if they have noticed an improvement in the Wi-Fi service on the docks. The response was mixed. He is investigating alternatives for improving service including adding a box with a multi-directional antenna. He will make a recommendation to the membership at an upcoming meeting.

R/C Beall also reported he has not been successful in modifying our existing phone service because his name is not on the Verizon account. The person associated with the account on Verizon’s records is no longer a member of the club. Because the membership wants to maintain a landline for emergency purposes, R/C Beall recommended installation of a Magic Jack system, which while it will require a new phone number, will provide landline service at a greatly reduced annual cost. There was concern about whether the club address would be available to 911 operators in case of an emergency, and it was agreed that R/C Beall will register the new number with 911 to ensure the WRYC street address is in their system.

4. Vice Commodore Katy McCaffrey

V/C McCaffrey reported that slips 1 and 19 are still empty and available.

V/C McCaffrey reported the electric problem in slip 9 was diagnosed and is corrected. She thanked Kevin Catlett for his assistance in resolving the situation. Kevin Catlett has agreed to do maintenance on the electrical pedestals on Clean Up Day, and requested three volunteers to assist him.

V/C McCaffrey also reported that Norm Stein used the new extension tool to change the light bulbs in the club that were too high to reach with a ladder and thanked him for his efforts.

5. Commodore Kathy Schmitz

No report.

V. Committee reports

1. Budget – Captain Steve Edwards

Captain Edwards reviewed the 2014 budget and compared it to year to date expenses. The 2015 budget categories were adjusted to better reflect the actual income and expenses the club experienced in 2014. He recommends the lawn care and fuel oil service contracts be rebid to be sure we are getting the best possible prices.

Page 36: West River Yacht Club Meeting Minutes · 2015. 2. 1. · West River Yacht Club Meeting Minutes April 6, 2014 I. Call to order Commodore Kathy Schmitz called to order the regular meeting

No dues increase is projected.

In order to simplify year-end billing and accounting, Captain Edwards recommended the club stop charging a separate $5 locker fee and consider the locker as part of the dues. It was noted that priority for attic lockers should go to slip holders if there is an increased demand for lockers.

2. Audit – Rose Tayman

No Report.

3. Hospitality – Sue Hickman

In Sue’s absence, P/C Mason reported that Judy Sellers is having rotator cuff surgery on December 1st and that she and Paul are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary in February. He asked members to remember them with a card or a phone call.

The fire xxtinguishers need to be inspected. WRYC has a contract with Dutch Fire Protection Services. R/C Beall will look into the inspection requirements.

It was noted that the WRYC first aid kit is located under the sinks in the ladies rest room.

10. Historian – P/C Lew Mason

No Report

11. Membership – P/C Lew Mason

P/C Mason thanked members who promote the club to prospective members as they are boating. He asked that members be sure to provide him with contact information for any prospective members they encounter so the membership committee can follow-up.

VI. Old business

V/C McCraffrey and P/C Hickman report they have met with several contractors to explore options for repairing/replacing the bulkhead. Three bids with varying levels of specificity were received. Costs range from $65,000 to $140,000 for a corrugated fiberglass bulkhead with pilings. It appears that stone riprap will not be a cost effective solution.

After much discussion regarding costs, timing, permits and the scope of work, it was agreed that P/C Hickman and V/C McCaffrey will continue to investigate our options and will seek more detailed bids from the contractors they are working with. They will also contact Norris Marine Construction for a bid and will check into the references of the other contractors and look at their work. Anyone who is interested in helping with the investigation should contact them and volunteer.

As the scope of work is refined and costs are narrowed down the club will need to decide how to pay for the work and will need to understand the time frame for the permitting and construction phases of the work.

VII. New business

Slate of Officers: In the absence of P/C Gary Tayman, the Commodore announced the slate of officers proposed for 2015 is as follows:

Commodore: Katy McCaffrey

Yearbook: P/C Ed Hilley asked that we consider reviving the yearbook.

It was agreed that the S/T should produce printed copies of the directory pages and make them available to the membership annually.

Website: The website needs to be updated and pertinent club information should be available on-line. Commodore Schmitz and Barbra Dorris volunteered to assist S/T Edwards with improving the website 2015.
