Executive Committee Meeting
Becky did not have meeting minutes available; they will be available this fall. Amber reported on the meeting. They discussed the proposed budget and had two recommendations: giving Becky a raise of $1 per hour and moving ahead with the purchase of a truck. Maureen also asked to set policy to at least discuss giving the executive director a cost of living increase each year. Becky will add that to the fall board agenda. Amber also reported that the executive committee would have Becky’s review done by July 15.
Spring board minutes
Dave Burch corrected the spring minutes to say we’ll train coordinators and not commissioners. Also, Tracy recommended we have an initial behind all names of Pam. Clay Petersen moved to approve the minutes and Margie seconded. All in favor minutes passed.
MWCA Updates
Becky reviewed the board’s objectives for the year and provided updates; she provided golf fundraiser updates. She reported we are contracting with Sara Racine now as Kate Arpin did not want to deal with the membership duties. Sara will sign a 3 month contract and then if all goes well, we will move forward with a 6 month contract. The MWCA bought a digital camera and macro lens for our needs. Becky asked the board about copyright issues with the photos Becky and members of MWCA take. The board felt we should share our photos without worrying about copyright or payment. For all future photos on the web and in publications, we will post a credited source.
