The meeting was called to order by Bill Ringbom, President, at 3:55 p.m. Present were Board Members Mary Neal, Judy Obermeier, Bill Ringbom, Dolores Soll, and Jean Wilson, .Board Members Gene Edgerton and Bud Zeuschner were absent.

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss concerns about the Club’s relationship with the Senior Center and Parks and Recreation personnel, with a view to finding ways to meet the needs of the Center and of the Club and, at the same time, make our interactions more satisfactory.

The discussion centered on concerns which have been raised about communications between the Club and the Center and about the fees paid by our Club for use of the Senior Center facilities.

It was agreed that the fees our Club pays to the Senior Center are very modest and have not been changed for many years. A motion was made, seconded, and approved to give Bill the authority to negotiate a new fee schedule with the Senior Center. Bill indicated that he had also discussed this decision with a member of the Unit Board.

Bill will meet with Dick Flanders, President of the Senior Center Board, and a Parks and Recreation representative for the purpose of determining fees as well as sharing concerns and ideas to improve the working relationship. Board Members agreed on a policy that future communications with the Senior Center and the Department of Parks and Recreation will go through only one person from our Club and that that person needs to be Bill.

The meeting was adjourned at 4:17 p.m. The next regular meeting will be on Friday, May 7, 2010..

Respectfully submitted,

Dolores Soll, Secretary
