Programs – Holiday party is all set up. Paul is expecting a really good turnout.
Project Committee – Announced Adopt-a-Road success, choice of Rogers Park as 2005 project and possible future projects with Curry Rosato (stream sampling & storm drain painting).
Membership/Newsletter – We will be printing differently colored labels for the group of 210 recipients we are trying to determine whether they still want to receive our newsletter. After further lengthy board discussion, we will instead mail out to the 210 via first class mail to weed out the bad addresses. We will also put on a positive label that says "if you would like to continue receiving this newsletter, please let us know."
Education – Fairview program has finished. Fly Tying with students in January. CTU youth conservation camp is shelved until springtime – late March early April. SBC Symposium – meeting being set up between Xcel Energy and Carol Ellinghouse. Erie’s South Canyon diversion dam replacement – Don Damico has some preliminary budget figures. Larry will get grant submitted, Boulder will chip in 20k, Erie will do all engineering.
Fundraising/Marketing/Merchandise – Jack Dennis tying event. Need 10 out of 20 to break even and we are well on our way to that goal.
Treasurer – Financial review committee meeting shall be 11/18/2004 at Al’s office.
Old Business –
Bylaws – Three further changes to the bylaws:
1. We revised the wording of the surety bond to be "1.5 times the amount of the Chapter’s highest liquid assets over the past fiscal year,"
2. Change Bi-annual reports to annual reports.
3. Added financial review committee to the list of committees.
Mike motioned to accept these further changes. Seconded by Lloyd, motioned passed unanimously. Mike will get the final bylaws and summary letter to Paul for publication to the website.
Business Cards – We need better resolution logo as the existing logo isn’t sharp enough. Everyone will check their own cards for accuracy. Bob has an automatic cutter to cut the pages of cards.
Boulder Fish and Game – no report.
New Budget – Last year ended up not being a zero based budget due to mis-allocation of grant income last year versus grant expenses. Discussion of how we handle marketing supplies and accounting. All marketing supplies is fully expensed. Missing auction income and expense information. Mainly received expense projections. We will review anticipated budget at the January planning meeting that will be created by Lloyd and Larry.
New Business –
Annual report – Dave Clark talked about possibly creating an annual report as a way to tout our own horn to all of our members and auction donors.
Booth at Fly Fishing Show – Dirk asked if we wanted a presence. Board felt that we didn’t feel we wanted a presence as we have the CTU presence.
22 Club – Al would like prior notice of presenter’s schedules so that he can have 22 club members attend dinners prior to presentations. Al just wants to start delivering on some of the promises in the 22 club literature.
Meeting was adjourned.
