Nederland Community Center Foundation Board of Directors Meeting November 3, 2010 at the Center Meeting Minutes

1. The meeting was called to order at 6:00 pm. Present: Tracy Brewer, Kristen Edwards, Jilene Norman, Dale Porter, Joe Gierlach, Diane Wohl, Claudia Sheehan. Absent: Brian Gioia.

2. Minutes of October 6, 2010: Tracy moved to approve the minutes and Kristen seconded. All were in favor of approving October 6, 2010 minutes.

3. President’s Report:

The West Wing Workshop committee met again, finalized preparations, and arranged to send a mass email advertisement for the first Workshop Nov. 13. Flyers were finalized, printed, and distributed. The information packet was distributed to the web site (Kristen), to Facebook (Joe and Jilene), and to Town Hall, and a copy ended up printed in the Mountain-Ear under Dale’s byline. Kristen reported that there are several people stopping into Town Hall to pick up their packets. After Dale read the original agreement on the CC between the Boulder Valley School District and the Town, he talked to the head of contamination assessment at the EPA and determined that the Town is most probably not liable for any asbestos problems in the West Wing. This is important because it allows the Town to apply for cleanup funds from the State or the EPA.

The noise abatement baffles for the Mountain Meeting Room were ordered by the Town on October 20 and have arrived. Doug Armitage of Brightwood Music, who has been working with the acoustics and PA system in that room for the Town Board, will help supervise installation by the Town Board of Works.

Kristen and Dale will work on the 2011 Work Plan and Budget for the December meeting.

4. Treasurer’s Report: Everything is ok and there were no questions regarding the Treasures’s report

5. Event’s Committee: Kristen and Dale met with Brian since he could not be at the meeting tonight. Brian has agreed to take the initiative and take the class to get certified so we can hold Bingo in the Community Center. Kristen will be working on the necessary paperwork.

6. Art at the Center: There are two new members. Tracy is looking at supplies that are needed for Art at the Center. The Art at the Center Committee is coming up with some new ideas for the next few shows. There might be an additional expense involved but it is not clear yet.

7. Kitchen: Dawn is going to do an inventory in the Kitchen and let the Board know what is still missing. The Board then can see if they are able to fill in gaps to help out. Some of the supplies that Tracy is looking at for Art at The Center will help with this.

8. Website: Kristen is still trying to get the blog working. People can post to it now but no one can see what is posted. Facebook has several people looking at it.

9. PPA (Power Purchase Agreement): They are signing the contract this week with lighthouse solar. In the sixth year we will have the option to buy for $5800. The town will pay .06 per kilowatt vs. the current .13 per kilowatt. The total capacity is 23 kilowatts.

10. Locker/Shower room: Claudia looked at the FEMA site but is having some issues about were to go from here. Dale said he would work with her to figure out what is needed.

11. Marketing Strategy: Dale created a marketing strategy that he asked all to review. He will then find a marketing person to help review it. There were discussions about a position for marketing the Community Center and most felt it would be hard to make it a fulltime job. It was suggested it could be a volunteer position or maybe a CU student could do it.

12. Goals for 2011: this will be discussed at the December meeting. Send all Goals and projects to Dale before the next meeting.

Meeting adjourned at 8:05 pm.
