Temporary Secretary
Jane Przedpelski was
appointed temporary secretary for this meeting.
The January minutes were reviewed and
minor corrections (additional attendees) were made. Minutes were unanimously approved as corrected.
The Annual Membership Meeting minutes
were approved as corrected: The
Colorado ARES Section Manager (Jeff Ryan) call sign should read K0RM. Len (KD0RC) moved to approve the minutes. Pete (WB2DVS) seconded. Approval was unanimous, with words of
appreciation for the fine job done by Steve (WB8VQI) with assistance from JD
(KC0MWB).
Other appointed positions, including
other BCARES members in addition to the Board, will be discussed at the next
Board meeting.
Jim (KG0HU) elaborated on the responsibilities of the Board when
there is a call-out. The officers are
paged, must coordinate with each other and the agency requesting
communications, and determine the appropriate response. If there is a general call-out, the
membership list is divided so that the Board members each have a smaller
segment to call.
§ Memos of Understanding (MOU’s) Updating with served
agencies and others will continue to be created and refined.
§ State Filing of the revised and signed by-laws will
be handled by Dale (KA0QPV).
§ Membership Organization should be
re-defined to include record keeping, “induction” of new BCARES members, and
ongoing training. Membership
recruitment efforts should include finding interested potential members from
LARC and BARC, and having handouts at swapfests.
§ WEB Page Update & E-Mail System Maintenance will be
chaired by Nima (N0YX).
§ Technical Committee will be
chaired by Pete (WB2DVS), who needs more people to become involved. Mark Huff (KB0LRS) has volunteered to handle
Longmont equipment. He will coordinate with Pat (W0IPL) as to location and
condition of equipment. Reference was
also made to the needs of the ICV monitors there, since BCARES is lost after a
loss of power. Also the remote controls
are often missing or having dead batteries.
The Nederland repeater question needs to be addressed as well as the ATV
rotator at PSAP.
§ Fund Raising falls into two categories: contributions of equipment and grants of
money or equipment. Pete (WB2DVS) will
make a list of equipment needs before the next board meeting.
§ Activity Planning will include
April, May, and June BARC/LARCfests, a Longmont Creek Walk, and other
activities. Jim asked the Board to
consider possible activities mentioned at last year’s annual meeting. George (KA0BSA) mentioned a need for hams in
June at Steamboat Springs for a marathon and a car rallye.
More access cards are needed for the PSAP
(Public Safety Answering Point—911 operators)—Boulder Police Department).
After adjournment there will be an
executive coordinating session.
The next board meeting will be held near
the end of March. Members will be
notified by e-mail as to the exact date.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 p.m.
Respectfully
submitted,
Jane
Przedpelski (KC0FGE), Asst. Secretary
