Bridge Meeting

1/7/08

 

The Bridge meeting was called to order by Commodore John Rebholz at 3:30pm in the Marina Lounge. Present were Commodore John Rebholz; Vice Commodore Marie Musor; Rear Commodore Barry Barwatt; Treasurer Shirley Hanberry; Secretary Doug Smith; Committee Chairs: Laura Staton, Allen Corel, Mia Ramsden, Shirley Phillips and Al Ross.

 

Minutes of the December 3, 2007 Bridge meeting were read, time of 1/7/08 meeting was changed to 3:30pm, no other changes and minutes were approved.

 

OLD BUSINESS:

 

Committee list was handed out by the Commodore. By-Law changes have been E-Mailed to Mia for inclusion in the new handbooks and will soon be available to CLYC members on line.

 

Purchase of a flag pole for the marina was discussed. A twenty (20) foot pole would cost around $300.00 plus cost of concrete and hole. Motion was defeated after some discussion as to the necessity as the American flag and yacht club flag is flown on the pole in front and the marina is not used regularly by transients.

 

FINANCIAL REPORT- Shirley Hanberry

 

The 2008 Budget was presented by the treasurer and Commodore to the Bridge. The Budget was reviewed.

 

The treasurer reported that the Commodores Ball exceeded budget by approx. $2,000.00. The Caterer was $5,500, Band $650.00, decorations, $315.00, Invitations $180.00, and Cleaners $150.00 for a total of $6,794.00. It was agreed that costs would be closely monitored as it is necessary to remain on a sound financial footing.

 

COMMITTEE REPORTS:

 

By-Laws: No changes of the by-laws at the annual meeting. A discussion was held concerning the tabled motion of boat vs non-boat owners and creating separate levels of membership. This was discussed and felt to be without merit and divisive. Motion was defeated unanimously.

Marina- A check for $428.64 was issued to John Maiola for Plaque. Commodore will get an up-to-date accounting from John.
