Draft
3 was distributed again by Lucetta. Term
limits were discussed and the issues from the e-mails were discussed.
Various minor changes were made based on the e-mails and discussions at
the meeting. There will be a notice
in the May Zundfolge that the By-Law committee is working on it and members can
ask to see a copy of the Draft By-Laws. The
membership will have 2 weeks to review the draft and in June it will be voted
on. Hugh thanks Lucetta and the
committee for their work.
David L. discussed a personality problem with the board. He thinks the board has been a dysfunctional group for the last few months. He says there is an underlying tension that needs to get resolved and he thinks the problem has been Brian Horne. He does not want to continue to work with Brian Horne. Ray Kirkland agrees. Roger Wales agrees. Greg Mierz commented. Hugh is disappointed and thinks that Brian H. has tried hard at his various efforts. He thinks Brian has worked hard at getting the web page better. Thinks that David also has his own hidden agenda. David indicates that he welcomes ideas from the Board but not just from one individual. Hugh had more comments. The Car Nutz conflict of interest issue was discussed. Wes had some comments. Wes thinks Brian was too critical of people’s job performance considering this is a volunteer organization. David thinks that it is not a performance issue but a personality issue. Brian discussed the history of how he came on board as publisher and that he was asked by David to submit a proposal to be publisher. Brian discussed how he created the graphics for the Zundfolge and why he decided to keep the copyrighted graphics.
Motion made by David L. to remove Brian Horne as Vice President by secret ballot. Motion carries.
Yes to Remove – 7
No to Stay – 1
Abstain – 2.
Motion to remove Brian Horne as Vice President carries.
The Chehalis Tour and the Emerald Downs Day are the two events still on the books that Brian is coordinating. He will continue to coordinate these events.
The new members party had 70 people attend. It was a good time. The cost was $145, which was less than budgeted.
Dyno Day – Josh can’t come out. 12 cars will be done on Saturday.
The May 22 Chehalis Tour is having checks come in. If Roger W. goes he will bring the checkbook which will make it easier to pay for things.
Emerald Downs – Brian says now we lay low until the event. June 1 the phones for reservations will open up. Once a reservation is made then that person has 1 week to send in their check.
Karl S. discussed the Levenworth Tour on September 11-12. We will meet the BC Club between I-5 and Route 2. Spend the night in Levenworth and then go over the North Cascades Highway.
Bill was not in attendance but passed on that he would like to stay at the Mercer Island Lid this year. Many people indicated that they liked Robinswood Park. Bill is getting a few complaints that the Concours is right after a track day.
Hugh is going tomorrow to look at the new potential site. The other people, Robert and Ken, are still on to help.
Jacqueline reports that 40 people are signed up for the May 7th Bremerton School and 60 are signed up for the May 9th SIR School. Next Tuesday is the Ground School at BMW Bellevue. The majority of the cars participating will be BMWs.
Lance reports that roughly 30 cars will be going down to participate at the April 30 PIR lapping day sponsored by the Portland ACA.
Roger will pay the SIR balance soon. The discount list is up to date.
Mary Lee is out of town. We have 982 members and send the magazine to 61 clubs.
The first issue came out with the new publisher. There were a few errors in it but they will subside in the future issues. There was an extra cost for redoing the negatives of $180.
Bad Advertisers: Bradley does not return phone calls. Ray K. will go visit Bradley. RMS looks like they are closed. Traxx did pay their bill.
David can’t see how it can work as presently proposed. Hugh would like to see it work. Brian distributed a proposal showing a couple of options for pages and layout that could be considered for use with integrating Portland into our magazine. Each proposal gave 2-1/2 pages to Portland.
Keith Wolenberg e-mailed everyone regarding the June Meeting. Hugh E-mailed the others. Hugh thinks Leif would be a better choice. Keith wants to come up in June. We need to have a non-biased presentation. We should have both Leif and Keith come up if possible. The Lightfoots and J.Kahn will trade their Board Meeting hosting nights.
Lucetta discussed the new pricing structure for the corral. After discussion it was decided to buy 20 single entries for each day and not try to do double-day entries. There is also a $25 cost for the tent. We need to send a check in for $825 to secure these spots.
Meeting adjourned around 10:00 PM
