President Jim Walls called the Annual Meeting to order at NOON on Saturday, June 7, 2003. The pool pavilion was packed to capacity with over 225 in attendance.
Shirley Kuebler read the minutes of the 2002 Annual Meeting. Randy Baker presented the Treasurer’s report via power point presentation. Our reserve fund balance stands at $571,072. The membership report was presented by Kent Larson. The Resort has 4,789 active members.
Old Business as presented by Jim Walls included announcing that in 2004, our Resort would be celebrating 20 years of membership. The Board is looking for some volunteers to help coordinate an anniversary celebration. If you are interested, see Tracy, Resort Manager. Mr. Walls also acknowledged that the Resort’s liability insurance has increased from $27,000 per year to $41,000 per year, but that the Board is trying to hold the line on maintenance fees.
Coast to Coast was also a topic of discussion. Coast to Coast and its new president seem to be going through some major changes, including the implementation of a “points program,” whereby members would pay for stays with points rather than cards. Therefore, the Board has decided to research other reciprocal use systems, so we are educated about our options.
President Walls also reminded the membership that the Resort has indoor storage units available for rent at $55/mo. There are 14 units total. Eight of them are currently in use.
New business included the announcement of the Resort’s 1st Annual RV Show and Open House, which was held the weekend of June 13-15. Several area vendors were present, including 25 recreational vehicles that were on display. The event was open to the public and was a success. We hope to offer even more at next year’s show.
A proposal for additional revenue was presented to the membership present using a power point presentation. The proposal covered the idea of off-season revenue generation thru renting of campsites (not rental units) to non-members from November 1 thru March 31. Forms were distributed to those present, asking for their input.
The Board will then take these comments and make an informed decision based on the desires of the membership (see related article).
The date of June 19, 2004 was established for the 2004 Annual Meeting. The next Quarterly Membership Meeting will be held on August 16, 2003, in the pool pavilion.
As this was Randy Baker’s last meeting as a Board member, and in recognition of the six years he served as the Board’s Treasurer, President Walls presented him with a plaque as a thank you.
Kent Larson, Election Committee Chair, gave the election report. Mr. Larson noted that there were a total of 1,315 votes cast, which was more than any election in recent history. Election results included Shirley Kuebler winning re-election and Keith Wurtele would be filling the seat vacated by Randy Baker. All of the proposed bylaw changes passed resoundingly.
President Jim Walls then presented member John Millard with a captain’s hat and apron in recognition of his efforts to coordinate the pig roast that immediately followed the annual meeting. Thanks, “Captain John!” Mr. Walls also thanked all of the many volunteers who helped setup, serve, and cleanup for the pig roast and all the volunteer work done on a daily basis around the Resort.
After opening the meeting to questions from the floor, Shirley Kuebler made a motion to adjourn at 12:55 p.m.; Don Livesay seconded. Motion carried.
