I. Grant Update ~Jeanne Shultz:
We need to rework our numbers on the grant. She thinks the town will give us money
for the exercise room specifically and use 2% money for the capital costs. Pat Finnangan,
the town attorney wants to meet with some of us about FmCO owning the building. How
long of a lease do we need to be legal with the town for this? From what we find out from
Pat we can report back to Fmco and ask for.
The town will approve the grant application on the 21 st if we have answered these
questions. After they sign our final version, we can send it in to the state.
2. Brochure -All
Switch the Maine trip and the survey page in order. The text on several pages was
reworded to sound better. The colors of blue and green were decided on as the C.Co's
colors. Mere will add the newest numbers for financials and clean up that page a bit as
well as fix the plans by taking out the theater and pool as labeling the bowling office as
the snack bar. The Contribution page will list the potential funding sources as NYS grant
under LWRP, Town of South old participation through the parks and rec. money and open
space money (2%), community fundraising events, support from mainland contributors,
individual donors.
3. Community Kick-off event- All
Sue Lusker has agreed to do the catering. Will this be free work? It should be a block
party in front of 98, between school. Alcohol could not be allowed because of this. How
much do we charge? Who would come? How do we advertise?
4. Governance and Management- John and all
John said that from what he has learned, the number of members on a SOlc3 board
needs to be divisible by 3, so 9 would be a good number for us. They will rotate off every
three years this way. He has given, for the purposes of this application, the C.C. the name
"06398 Community Center Ioc." The group likes this name. The potential board
members list is Harris Parsons Jr. Scott Reid, Judi, Mark Borland, John, Sara, Sarah,
Audry Ludemann, Gail.
The management committee will be a separate group that oversees the center and its
operations and meets much more regularly than the Board. The ideas for participants in
that group are: Judi, Sara, Cahrlie, Karla, Sue Lusker, Dave Denison, Laurie Finan.
Should we have a community clean-up event for the area around 98? What can be
done?
