III. New Business

    1. Fall OEC Planning - Wendell Talked about the Fall OEC planning and stated that we need to continue recruitement throughout the summer so we can start our class with the meet and great during the first week after Labor Day. It was also discussed about allowing a 16 year old to participate as part of the Junior Patroller Program. Discuss lead to the fact that we did not want this to be a hangout activity for high school students and that it was suggested that a current patroller sponsor the junior candidate.

    2. Rich reminded that it was very important to get the schedule put together as soon as possible.

    3. Recruiting ? Wayne talked about how he had already reserved a table for the ski patrol during the 4 th of July Festival, Labor Day weekend and the Fall Festival. Recruitment was going well. There was a discussion about other activities that might be added during the Fall Festival. The ideas included ski tuning, ski matenance, ski swap, and helmet sales.

    4. Senior Training Program ? Wendell stated that he was going to put together a schedule, but asked patrollers to provide dates when they will not be available to attend training during the summer. It was stated that training would be scheduled around those who want to attend.

    5. Rich stated that he has only 12 radios and asked that those that have radios bring them in so they can be accounted for. There are approximately 8 radios missing. Please check your patrol bags and contact Rich if you have a radio.

    6. Since Tim has departed someone is needed to take over as WebMaster. Rich¡¯s wife has volunteered to do this. Everyone present to the meeting was asked if they had any objects to Rich¡¯s wife functioning as WebMaster. No one objected and this was approved.

    7. After Wayne returns from leave he will be sending out an email asking for volunteers to help clean the patrol shack and inventory supplies. Wayne stated that he would check the dehumidifier that he voluteered for the patrol shack and see if it might. If it will not work, we need to take a vote via email to spend approximately $200 to purchase one to protect the supplies and equipment.

    8. Rich then stated a discussion encouraging the patrol to enforce the rules and regulations that have been written.

    9. The Secretary needs to make a copy of the Patrol Constitution and Bylaws, as well as the Patrol SOP needs to be made available to each of the patrol members for comment. Comments should be submitted to the Secretary listing the paragraph in question, providing a recommendation and then justification. This will then be presented to the patrol at a meeting and each change will be approved or rejected.

    10. Next, Rich made a motion and Stan L seconded that the patrol hold it¡¯s annual election, as per the constitution and bylaws, during the next meeting. That nominations be made either by mail or during the meeting to the Secretary. That the current Assistant Patrol Director ensure the elects are held.
