Fishers Island Community Center Board
Meeting Minutes for 10/24/05, 5:00pm
Fishers Island Office
Next meeting: Nov. 7 at 5:00pm in the Island Office.
In attendance: Sara Mclean, Karla Heath, Sarah Moody, Mere Harr, Bruce Kinlin,
Charlie Stepanek
Scrapbook:
Karla read an email Judi sent her about Carolyn Garrison and the scrapbook. It was
decided that we would deal with this much later and could even do it ourselves.
Bruce and plans:
Bruce talked about the plans again and explained things to Charlie, who had not seen
them since we flipped the bowling. He explained that the next step is to get the engineers
for heating, plumbing, stairs and elevators, roof and the sort to place bids and to come up
with more real numbers. He said that these drawings represent resolution of process and
program elements. It was agreed by all that the spaces have become more useful and user
friendly. It was suggested that we could have a naming contest for the cafe.
There was a motion made by Sara McLean to approve the plans as they are. Sarah
Moody seconded it and all were in favor.
Year-round Fundraising:
The year-round fundraising committee might need an extra person on it. Karla will
ask Laurie Finan. This committee should meet with the other fundraising committee soon
to talk about strategies.
Fog Horn and Gazette:
We need to write something for both. The FH should be a simpler update and the
Gazette perhaps should have a set of plans in it. Charlie will help mere write the FH
article. Mere will ask John if the Dec. ICB meeting could be the unveiling of the plans to
the community and we could take comments then. The most people could "change" then
would be the program ideas for what goes into the spaces. We do not intend to have the
place redesigned.
Other:
Peter Crisp sees the timeline looking like things could start next summer for
construction and shoot for 2007. BK said that timeline makes practical sense because of
all the permitting that will have to happen on top of the construction. If things start over
the summer we should expect 9-12 months until it opens. Everyone liked the idea of
getting it open for the year-round population before the summer. Mere will look into
more in depth information on moving the bowling alleys.
Next meeting: Nov. 72005 at 5:00pm in Island Office.
