<br /> <br />MINUTES OF THE CALOP BOARD MEETING <br />SEPTEMBER 21, 2006 <br /> <br /> <br />The meeting was called to order at 6:05 p.m. in the second floor Conference <br />Room, City Hall. In attendance were: Cameron Sanders, Gladys Creer, Ed <br />Nickels, Eric Friedman, Karol Walters, Esley Hamilton, Eleanor Mullin. <br /> <br />Minutes from the last meeting were not available. <br /> <br />TREASURER'S REPORT: Ed has consulted with an accountant to help <br />understand the City's spreadsheets. He states that we have available <br />$87.966.00. Ed has spoken with Miriam Flowers, who handles the accounting for <br />UC Historical Society, and she is willing to help simplify and explain the financial <br />reports. We will ask her to attend the next meeting, where she can <br />hopefully explain the city statements. <br /> <br />MEETING WITH NEW CITY MANAGER Cameron has met with the new city <br />manager, Julie Feier, and says that she seems more than willing to cooperate <br />with CALOP. Eleanor raised the question that if there is more cooperation, <br />clearer statements, and better communication between CALOP and the City, do <br />we need to 'break away' and become a 501(c)(3), as there are some attendant <br />problems with that, namely insurance for board members. Eric stated that we <br />should be able to do both--stay within the City, but form a 501(c)(3) in order to <br />raise funds. <br /> <br />ELECTION OF VICE-CHAIR Cameron announced the need to elect a new Vice <br />Chair to serve until December 31, 2007, as Jon Galloway has moved. Eleanor <br />nominated Ed Nickels, Eric seconded, approved by acclamation. We then <br />deferred the election of a new treasurer until the next meeting. <br /> <br />EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: Cameron then began discussion of appointing an <br />Executive Director on an interim basis. Ed moved that Dennis Riggs be so <br />appointed, Eric <br />seconded, approved by acclamation. Dennis will present a proposed budget at <br />the next meeting. <br /> <br />NEW RFP: Ed brought up the reconstruction to it's original standards of the <br />historic home at 15 Princeton, which burned some months ago. He moved to put <br />out an RFP on this topic, and to grant $6000.00 towards the production of such a <br />documentary, with a <br />proposal due date of October 16, 2006, to be discussed at the October 19, 2006 <br /> <br />
