Outline for Mar. 14, 2018 Chapter Board Meeting
This existing program is of high value to the City of Troutdale and enhances the Sandy River Chapter ANWS’s (hereafter – Chapter) relationship with same.
Since inception in 2012 this program has raised $ 502.50 ( ½ of $1,005.00) for the Chapter and $3,270.00 for the City of Troutdale. There was no cost to the Chapter for the Original group of fish blanks.
Currently this project is managed by Art Israelson and the City of Troutdale. The Chapter’s only involvement in this program is in funding prior approved Board expenditures directly related to the program and receipt of a portion it’s income for this purpose. While this program has resulted in some income to the Chapter, it is intended to be a self-funding program. It is never to result in the Chapter funding it from funds originating from any other source than the Cedar Fish Program. If it does so the Chapter’s participation in the Cedar Fish Program will be immediately be reevaluated by the Chapter Board.
Art says he has approximately 100 fish blanks on hand & can make more from free scrap wood materials he has access to. Therefore, with Art’s participation there is no cost for the fish blanks.
Current cost to buyer per fish is $20.00. This is dispersed with $15.00 of the $20.00 going to the City of Troutdale. $ 5.00 goes to Chapter, from which -$ 2.50 is paid by Chapter for the engraved plague. Resulting the Chapter realizing $2.50 per fish from which, infrequent unexpected expenditures (example: $36.84 Historical Society display) are paid by Chapter when approved by the Chapter Board in advance.
Future unexpected expenditure request have to be requested by and approved by the Chapter Board. If timing prohibits a vote at a Board meeting the requesting party must contact the Chapter President(s) with the request. The Board President(s) will contact Board members for a decision on approval for the expenditure. This is not to imply all requests will be approved automatically. Therefore, funds (private or Chapter’s) should not be incurred prior to receiving approval form the Board as they may not be reimbursed.
