Minutes of  Aug. 23, 2010   CDC Board Meeting

Meeting Came to Order at 6:00 pm

Present: Sandy Chaille, Rich McQuone, Diann Miller, Joan Constable, Julie Konno (for Joanne Freemire), Kirsten Englund

Public Comment: Present : Sarah Ra, David Konno, Michael Olwyler

Michael Olwyler gave a presentation to the Board on the proposed North Fork Trail System, discussing reasons for use, who would be intended as the users of various parts of the trail system, how it would tie into existing trails, the fact that these would all be trails on public lands, planning of concept trails, and getting stakeholders involved in the planning process. Board discussed how we can support this project. All agreed it was a good project for the community and that we should offer support as needed and appropriate, and a motion was passed stating such (see below).

An insurance review of the CDC Insurance determined that we can obtain a one-time event fee for $100 for events at the mill site. Liability does not cover volunteers working on trails until the trails are built and then trail users will be covered, so any volunteers working on the trails must have their own insurance.

Community Newsletter – update was given. Propsed cost of $150-$225 per issue depending on size and number of community groups and business people supporting it.

CJ Recycling lease not completed but close.

Rich McQuone will be responsible for getting pallets for brick storage, and looking into pothole repair in driveway.
