Minutes from August 2, 2010 meeting were approved as presented.
A suggestion was brought up that we have a separate section of the meeting to discuss Horizons projects. It was noted that everything that the RCC is involved in a Horizons project because the community center, community gardens and communications were the three sections of the project.
The discussion about the youth activities was tabled.
Communications:
Advertising was discussed for the next year. More signs of smaller size are needed- a banner that reads "Rockford Community Center" on the first line and "A Horizons Community" on the second line. There should be more advertising in the local papers and balloons located near activities.
Community Center:
Old Business:
Phil Evans gave a report about the time at the rest stop on US 395 south of Ritzville. There was a profit of $149.00.
Sean Hart gasve a report on the dance that was held on August 6, 2010. It was not well attended due to the lack of notification. There was one citizen complaint about the music being too loud for the kids' hearing.
New Business:
There are two cordless phones that were purchased and are charged and ready to go. The phone lines have been installed. It was decided that on Tuesday, August 17th, Sean and Jake will assist in pulling wires through the wall and Tom will connect them. The phone number of the RCC is (509) 291-3605. It will be for local service only.
Phil presented a calendar for scheduling of the staff at the RCC. He will call those who have volunteered to staff.
Mary-Lou presented the list of those who have passed the background check. Scott will provide the names of those who were done through the Sheriff's Fairfield SCOPE office.
First Step Internet has hooked up the wiring. A shelf is needed to place the equipment.
PAML has not returned Vivian's request for used computers at this time. She will email them again, ask for a time frame and model number of the laptops that will be given to the RCC.
Diane Woodman has a pool table to donate that needs no work. It was suggested that it be looked at and determined if it the same type and in better condition than the one we already have and if it has a slate surface. The question arose as to what we will do with the one we now have. Storage was discussed as well as possibly renting a unit from Ashford Storage. Todd will look into a deal that Paul Sifford might offer on a unit.
Todd will contact his insurance carrier to find out the policy regarding having a pellet stove for heat.
Micki mentioned that she has the Horizon board that was displayed at last year's Southeast Spokane County Fair in Rockford. Linda has the Community Center display ans she will combine the two displays to present in the Ag Building during this year's Fair. Lorrie and Tom will set up a table outside the RCC during the "3 on 3" basketball tournament. Phil will staff an RCC booth beside the food booths in the Fairgrounds.
Phil will research tree nurseries to find out the prices of wreaths. Vivian requested that the wreaths be pre-sold to prevent the stock left over as last year. It was determined that the money will be collected at the time of ordering.
Recycling was also discussed as a fund raising activity.
Todd stated that he intends to be in his store at least for two more years. The lease for RCC is from June 1st to May 31st. His store remaining open will depend on the voter approval of two initiatives proposed this election regarding the privatization of liquor sales.
Mary-Lou reported that the farmer's market was almost completely sold out on August 14th.
Phil discussed a CD he had to view entitled "Business Plan for Non-Profit".
There being no other business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:30pm
