President Chuck asked those present to introduce themselves and tell who they represent. Dir Helen Johnson shared an e-mail from Joette Larson. Joette proposed an idea about finding a recycling station for persons in our community to purchase from Briaght n' Beautiful. Her thinking was that a lot more people would recycle if they had a nice organized system to help them do it. Recycle bins we could stencil our name on. This idea of hers goes along with some of the ideas that we have been sharing. The minutes were corrected to add Peggie Gaghen to the attendees for December. The minutes were corrected and approved. Treasurer Jean Carroll Thompson gave her report. She stated that all data had been entered through December. There is still a glitch in the program and she has asked for help in solving the problem. This will be completed by our February meeting. NEW BUSINESS: Director Helen asked the Boards approval to be out of the office until Jan 271h. The Board gave their approval. Next item was to decide on the Salary for the Executive Director. The discussion began with how we were going to approve anything without a quorum. President Chuck suggested that we approve a salary at $1,750. per month with a review at the end of six (6) months. His suggestion was that we approve the salary today and it would be subject to approval at the nest meeting when a quorum would be present. Dan Miller moved that we approve the salary at $1,750. per month with a review in six (6) months subject to the approval of the newly revised board member quorum at the February meeting. Motion was seconded by Lisa Brandt and the motion carried. This would mean that we must start the revision of the By-Laws. Members present agreed that we should table the discussion and motion until February. Motion made, seconded and carried. A committee was formed to up-date the by-laws. Lisa Brandt and Peggie Gaghen agreed to meet with Helen Johnson to prepare a proposed By-Law revision for our February meeting. One change those present did take care of was that our meetings will start at 12:00 Noon. Those that want to have something to eat should come at 11:30 to order. President Chuck asked Helen to contact our members to get some answers to why they do not attend meetings. Present at this meeting were the following: Chuck Dickerson, Dan Miller, Lisa Brandt, Peggie Gaghen, Jean Carroll Thompson and Helen Johnson. At our next meeting we will have a draft of the By-Laws. These will be voted on at our February meeting. This is a questionnaire that we feel will give us some input about attendance at meetings. 1. Is the day of the meeting right for you? Or would another day be better for you? 2. Is the time of day right for you? Or would something different be better? Is the location right for you? Or would a different location be better? Keep in mind we wand to be central for everyone. Next Meeting February 17a' at 12:00 Noon at Perkins on 27 h Remember, those that want to have lunch, come early. We would very much appreciate being advise of your intentions. Thank you and we hope to see you on the 17'h of February.
