May minutes were reviewed and approved after revisions done via e-mail.

General Update
U.S. Flyfishing Championship – Many BFCers took part supporting the contest. The overall event was a tremendous success, especially for the first year.

Old Business:

  1. Picnic is K.T. Bar-B-Que using a discount coupon left over from the March auction.
  2. Library Display - The display is complete and looks really good. It will be up through the month of June. One of the librarians reported to Bob that it is the best display ever placed there.
  3. BFC Summer Fishing Trip – Al Permut has organized a BFC fishing day July 15 meeting at 8 AM @ OfficeMax. The venue is Middle Boulder Creek. We need a reasonable number of people. Al will purchase lunch.
  4. Mud Snails – Our web page no longer has any info on this subject. We should have something. Bob will e-mail Tony.
  5. Treasurer – Mark and Paul are away for most of the month of June & early July. Reimbursements will need to wait until they return, if BFC funds are not depleted!!! Mark recommended that a Board Member review the books once each quarter – especially disbursements. Al Permut will handle this task. John Frontczak and Mark compared auction results and were within $10 of each other which for proceeds near $20K, is great.
  6. LCD Projector – Larry Quilling wishes to borrow the projector for the youth camp. Dave Clark will coordinate with Larry. Dave will label the power cord which has been problematic.
  7. Rogers Park – Roger and Al reported meetings with the City of Boulder and Boulder County. The results were positive with no show stoppers. It is clear that the permitting process is long and time consuming. Roger informed the Board that Dave Blauch, a member of the committee and owner of Environmental Resource Consultants, ERC, has proposed leading this project from a permitting, fund raising, and construction standpoint. He will provide the preliminary design and associated paper work to satisfy the permitting and fund raising efforts. He will do this at a minimal cost, providing BFC utilizes his services for the construction phase. Dave and his company have worked with several TU chapters in this manner. After some discussion, Mike Malec moved & Bob 2nd. that we utilize Dave’s company as a sole source if a due diligence effort is performed by the project committee to assure his previous projects have been well done. Mark suggested we do some checking to assure Dave’s construction costs are not excessive and that whatever written agreement is assembled, that it allow BFC to enlist the services of another company if Dave’s costs are excessive. If that were the case, we would pay Dave at a retail rate for all services provided to that point. Bob seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

A motion was made to adjourn at 6 P.M. 2nd, passed.

Respectfully Submitted,

Roger Svendsen, BFC Secretary
