Board Report

At the February Board meeting we approved rule updates in section 1.07 Moorage Charges and 8.02.2 Rentals to Yachting Fraternity and Community Groups. Specifically, 1.07 was updated for consistency of late fee penalties associated with moorage billing and 8.02.2 was updated to reflect the current practice in use for the past two plus years. Details of these changes can be found in the February Board Meeting minutes available in the member only section on our website.

As mentioned previously, the Board has continued to work with the Bridge and the Planning and Finance Committee to review the budget forecast for five and ten year periods: primarily concentrating on mandatory code updates and required maintenance expenditures. At the Breakfast with the Bridge meeting held on March 7th, we presented a summary of cost increases for the club since 2002 and a summary of expenditure requirements for the next five years. The presentation also included options for funding these expenditures. The presentation was also discussed at the March Board meeting and is included in the March Board meeting minutes.

Also at the March Board meeting, a presentation was given by Captains Andrea Schock and Membership Chairman Chris Benson on classes of membership. This presentation was also given at the Saturday breakfast with the Bridge and is included in the March Board meeting minutes.

I would encourage all members to go online to the QCYC website and review the Board meeting minutes and attend the Board meetings which are open to all members and held on the second Monday of every month at 7pm.

Thank you.

Mark Weiss
Board Chairman
