A meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Saline Preservation Association (SPA)
was held online over a few days. Present at the
e-meeting were Directors Patricia Wilder-Barton, John
Dukes, Tim Hynes, Tom Ganner and Rick Brower. The
purpose of the e-meeting was to establish Financial
Officers of SPA and fulfill the requirement of our Bank
(El Dorado Savings Bank) to give Signatory Authority of
the account to Patricia Wilder-Barton and John Dukes.
Agenda item
Patricia proposed that the
titles for the Annual List of Officers, Directors and
Registered Agent of Saline Preservation Association be
defined. Tom Ganner proposed nominating Patricia as
President and Treasurer, John as Vice President, Tom as
Secretary, this was seconded by Patricia. Rick approved
in favor on the 16th and Timbo on 17th.
John noted that the Bank
requires that these meeting minutes be signed by two
officers of SPA to effect an orderly change and that one
of the signing officers has their signature established,
previously, at the Bank; Patricia would fulfill that
requirement and John would be the second signer to
complete the transaction.
February 15, 2010
A meeting of the Board of Directors of the
Saline Preservation Association (SPA) was held at the Lower Warm
Springs. Present at the meeting were directors Patricia Barton,
John Dukes, Tim Hynes, and Tom Ganner. Camphost Lee Greenwell
was also in attendance.
Agenda item: Corporate registration;
funds, and Association officers.
The Board approved to change
the registered SPA 501.C.3 corporate address to California
from Nevada. In doing so, all funds currently held in Nevada
will be consolidated to the California account. Patricia
Barton is approved as Treasurer. Organizational account
records will be available online for board members to
review. Tom Ganner is approved as Secretary.
Agenda item: Membership database
According to SPA by laws,
voting members of SPA need to supply a physical address.
This will be explained on the website and a link provided to
allow community members to email their request to be
included in the membership of SPA. Physical addresses will
remain confidential and not be included on other mailing
lists without the permission of the member.
Agenda
item: Newsletters
It is agreed that SPA needs to
publish one more mailable newsletter to inform membership of
the new website and forum. It is anticipated that in the
future, the website and forum will keep the user community
better informed of current events than the sporadic
newsletters.
Agenda item: Current projects
Plans had been discussed to set
the camphost up with a satellite internet connection, and
use this connection for a web cam of valley weather
conditions. Given the cost and complication of setting up
and maintaining the equipment, the idea has been scrapped.
The lower springs
needs new shading material over the
Crystal Pool. Lee will order garden grade
tarp, and Timbo will look into heavier camo material. SPA
will provide the funds required.
The deck on the
lawn of the Lower Springs needs some attention. The redwood
boards are still in good shape, but need new joist supports
underneath and new screws. The supports were measured and
material will be delivered to the springs for a work party.
Lee has requested
that SPA indicate to the community that funds donated directly
to the Park Service on behalf of the Springs remains unavailable
for use. Approximately $800 has been given to DVNP, and the
agency seems to be unable to release any funds for general use.
