Results of MEMBERSHIP Meeting and POTLUCK DINNER PARTY

 Friday June 27th

1. Change the hand book language to reflect that spouse teams can serve in board positions, but will only have one vote per membership as per the handbook.

The handbook already says a team my share a position, which means still one vote. A change in wording is not necessary

2. Rewrite the handbook language to reflect that members not paying dues in the previous year will not be considered members in the current year.  

Members who have not paid dues by the end of the current season, shall receive a certified letter of membership cancellation notice due to not paying dues.   They have until the first seasonal board meeting of the following year to pay dues.  If the dues are not paid by this date, the Board may authorize termination of membership.

Note:  This is not a new resolution, only that the board has not acted on this in a while.  

3. Pro-rate the dues for newly joining members in the year they join.  

Pro-rates dues for newly joined members is determined on a weekly basis.  Based on the current 2014 dues of $400, the weekly rate is $30 a week.

Lap swimmers may be older kids, who have an adult with them.  They should follow lap swim protocol.  

If we get kids in the pool splashing, the consequence is those kids are not allowed back for a time

Last Call

Plan on paying your dues and picking up your keys Saturday June 7 from 9:00 am -1:00 pm.  The 2014 dues are $400.  After June 7th a $10 late fee will apply.

Northview Swim Club (NSC)General Membership Meeting MinutesMay 19^th, 2014

Meeting Location:  Northview Swimming Pool

Start Time:  7:00 PM

The meeting started at 7:00 PM with members paying dues and signing release forms.  Christine McKinnon, NSC Secretary, collected fees, exchanged keys and collected the release forms.  The membership was called to order for the business portion of the meeting at 7:30 PM by Donna Glass, NSC President.  Two members of the previous board were present: Donna Glass and Ryan Fox.  Prior to this meeting, the board appointed Christine McKinnon as secretary and transferred Kellie Jenkins from Secretary to Jr. Pool Manager. There were 16 pool members present. 

The minutes from March 28, 2013 were read and approved by the members present.

The NSC 2014 Budget was presented for the members.  It was prepared by Ken Buxton, who was not present.  Questions were taken; highlights for needs for the upcoming year were heard.  Purchasing a new shower building roof and privacy fencing can wait for a bigger budget.  We need to purchase a new cover roller.  Dues were raised to $400 to cover annual operating costs.  Board members also pay dues.  Members liked having the higher temperature in the water (82 F) and agreed to pay the minimal cost to keep the temperature higher.  The pool is old.  Only 55 members paid from last year.  The motion to accept the budget was seconded and passed.

Dates to pick up keys and pay dues were set as:  May 24 12PM-2PM, May 31 9AM-1PM, June 7 9AM-1PM.  Kellie or Christine will be on hand to collect.  The late fee was discussed later in the meeting.

The floor was opened for board nominations.  Christine McKinnon will serve as Secretary, Kellie Jenkins will serve as Jr. Pool Manager.  Board positions were defined.  Alice Orrel is willing to be Treasurer.  George Mellinger is willing to be President Elect, and Donna Glass is willing to be President.  We need to look for an additional Jr. Pool Manager.  The motion to accept the nominees by verbal vote was seconded and passed.

The elected 2014 board members are: Donna Glass – President.  George Mellinger – President Elect.  Treasurer – Allice Orrell, Secretary – Christine McKinnon, (Assistant) Pool Manager – Kellie Jenkins

No water sliding during non life-guarded hours due to liability issues.  If members would like to create a flier for NSC advertising, please do and send to Christine McKinnon.  Adult swim hours are defined as 18 years and older.  The pool hours were read.  There was a discussion about allowing younger lap swimmers to swim during lap hours.  There is a need to get the electronic handbook out to the members.  Please do not move the in-pool stairs when swimming.  It is heavy and expensive.

Handbook adjustments discussions.   Four resolutions were included on the meeting agenda (and are printed in bold).

1. Change hand book language to reflect that husband and wife teams can serve in board positions, but will only have one vote per membership as per the handbook.

1).  Resolution did not pass – board will write actual wording for new changes.

2. Rewrite the handbook language to reflect that members not paying dues in the previous year will not be considered members in the current year.  The current handbook procedure is cumbersome and ineffective.

2) Discussion was held on the paperwork nightmare to track down people who don’t pay or renew their membership.  A definition is needed to decide when non-paying members are no longer members and when their ownership ceases. Consulting a lawyer is recommend.  Resolution did not pass – need more information.

3. Pro-rate the dues for newly joining members in the year they join.  For example, dues are $300 for a family that moves into the neighborhood in July, and $200 if they join in August.

3) A discussion was held on how to pro-rate membership fees for new members, either by week or day.   Resolution was not passed.  The board will write up a proposal for the next meeting.

4. Change late dues payment to a $10 fee instead of the 10% with interest over time as currently written in the handbook.

4) Resolution passed.

A request was made to redefine the lap swim time, to allow for younger serious lap swimmers.

A motion to adjourn was passed.
