Tim Broderick, Commodore's Report: Reminder of Committee Reports due in October Tim reminded Board Members that Annual Committee reports are due by the October Board Meeting in accordance with the By-Laws.

Tim requested reports from the Standing Committees and the Treasurer, working with the Finance Committee. Reports are due by the October Board Meeting. Tim asked that the reports be brief without losing anything to consistency, in a few paragraphs if possible, but, not over a page for any reason.

Forward reports to Jim Smithwick so he can consolidate them for the October Board Meeting Minutes.

Bill McHale, Vice Commodore's Report: Property The recent hurricane did some damage to the docks. Some boards were ripped up. One dock box was torn loose, fell into the creek and had to be “fished” out. It needs to be remounted to the dock. The docks need cleaning and another coat of stain. Cost will be about $600.

Bill wants to get with Gary and have a work party to clean the property next week, weather permitting. There are a lot of limbs and leaves to clean up. There is a tree down at the back of the lot.

Lucy Lichty as part of the PR Committee is working a Club House Rental tri-fold brochure, similar to the Membership Brochure, for advertising and promoting the Club. Bob Yeaton is assisting with getting pictures to use with a brochure for Club House Rental.

“Slip Rental with Membership” signs are on the dock and at the front of the property.

A suggestion, from the PR Committee / Bob Yeaton, was to have a sign to advertise Club House Rentals.

ARTICLE VII COMMITTEES Section 1. The Commodore may establish any committees that he/she and the Board of Directors believe necessary for the proper functioning of the Club. Chairpersons for all committees will be appointed annually by the Commodore, except as otherwise indicated in these By-Laws. During the October Board of Directors meeting, each chairperson shall present to the Commodore a report of the activities of the Committee during the year, including any recommendations for budgetary or other changes deemed necessary.

There was discussion related to proposal to rent the face dock to larger boats i.e. 42ft Hatteras. A 50-ampere electrical service and water is required to do so. Tim suggested investigating the numbers to determine the future potential.

Bill met with the roofer related to timing for the repairs. He is not happy with their response. An alternative contractor may be needed.
