Review Financial Reports: Dave Lundberg reported
that there was nothing of note to report. Bar receipts and miscellaneous
cash were deposited. The fiscal year ends June 30th. Dave and
Bob have been working on a budget for the coming year. Dave went
to the bank to get signatory cards for checking accounts for new
officers. Dave is exploring a system for a more concise reporting
method. Rob suggested forming a finance committee of four people
to work on a budget and financial systems. Dave said the process
will have to evolve over a period of time as more information
and input is gathered. A motion to appoint Dave Lundberg, Bob,
Rob and Dave Chandler to the finance committee was made by Keith.

Old Business: Randy moved to appoint Mary Simon
and Chase Schmitt to run the bar. The motion was seconded by Keith.
Tom asked how the bar managers would be compensated. Mary said
that she and Chase expected to be compensated by having their
dues waived and the tips they earned. She and Chase would be responsible
for bartending during bonspiels. The bar managers are to report
to the general manager. The motion carried.
Bob said he would only buy a new scraper if he was sure Garland
Legacie would buy our old one. Net cost to us for a new scraper
would be $5000. Dave made a motion to buy a new scraper contingent
upon selling the old one. The motion was seconded by Keith. The
motion carried. Bob thanked the board for its consideration the
matter.
Dave said he would be responsible for selling ice ads. Randy
said he will contact Sherry Holloway for help in preparing the
newsletter.
Rob said he will look into the issue of merchandise sales, possibly
online through the Bemidji VCB, and report to the board. Clothing
sold at the club needs to be made more secure.
Rob suggested that we aggressively recruit more women curlers,
possibly a women’s class through community education. Keith
suggested an incentive program to join experienced skips with
novice curlers.
General Manager’s Report: Bob said that
Tom Berdahl will come to repair a leak in the ice plant in the
near future.
Bob said there has been a lot of interest in curling form all
over and we need to capitalize on this.
Junior Committee Report: Randy presented a financial
report. The juniors would like the same draw times as last year.
They would like to start the Monday leagues earlier in the year.
Dave said the juniors need present to clear picture of their finances
to the board. He said he wasn’t sure whether they needed
to have their own checking account. Randy asked to be on the agenda
for the next board meeting.
New Business: Bob went through the current insurance
policies and gave a report.
General Liability: Protects members at a cost of $8.50 per member
and also covers bonspiels, rentals, the high school curlers. The
premium is due in November.Workman’s Compensation: Due February
27th at a cost of $3141
Property Damage: Covers physical property of the club except the
ice plant. Cost is $2189 per year paid quarterly
Liquor Liability: Due January 1,2007. Cost is $4655 per year.
Bob will check on boiler insurance for the plant.
Last year we spent $12,280 on insurance.
A motion to approve Coke as the exclusive vendor for the bar
was made by Keith. The motion was seconded by Tom. Service has
been an issue with Coke in the past and they will be monitored
for reliability and reviewed at midseason. The lobby vending machines
will remain as is for the time being. The board realizes that
underlying issue for Coke is whether the cooler in the bar displays
the Coke logo. The motion carried.
The display case offered to be made by Darren Erickson does not
have to be addressed at this point. Bob will handle this in the
future.
Adjournment: A motion to adjourn was made by
Tom. The motion was seconded by Keith. The motion carried.
The next meeting will be July 11th at 6:00 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Mark LaFond
