Review and approval of Minutes: The Minutes of April 2010 were approved as written. William Murphy made the motion to approve April Minutes and Valerie Weber 2nded the motion. All were in favor. Officer’s Reports: Common Council – Eddie Rocker - No Report. Allen - Allen spent some time in Common Council meetings to discuss the Cass Park docks. The question arose about the Dragonboat Club use of the docks. The Club helped to write the grant that helped to have the docks built and was instrumental in having the docks built. Once built, the question arose – in NYS you cannot have exclusive use of park land (docks are in the park) – a group can use part of the park for a rental fee but ongoing use in this manner the state law frowns upon. The City had to decide on doing a short-term lease agreement and what fee would be attached. They decided to do a one-year revocable license for $1 so that they could support the club. The 12ft fences are coming down the week before June 12th. That about the same time as the reunions start happening. GIAC (Joan Spielholz) – Saturday, June 12th – There will be a re-opening ceremony for GIAC. The event will celebrate the new building and include building tours. The event flyer is attached. Southside Community Center (Kirtrina Baxter) – No report. Staff Reports: Overview of 2009 Youth Development Outcomes: Karen, the Youth Development Division Coordinator, created a PowerPoint to overview the many successes in that department in 2009. Jen went through the slides and shared information for each of the 7 Youth Development programs. The PowerPoint is available from Jen. Youth:Resources:Executive Assistant:IYB Advisory Board:2010 Minutes:IYB Advisory Board Minutes May 10 2010.doc Overview of fundraising events: Over the past two months, IYB programs have been busy hosting a variety of different fundraising events. Since the beginning of April, IYB events have raised 17,500. These events took a large amount of staff time and energy and IYB collectively and each program individually will be assessing the costs and benefits of the fundraisers. Volunteers and community businesses were instrumental in each event’s success and they all deserve a tremendous thank you. Unfinished Business: Bylaws & Duties: We do not have the changes of Section 3 and 4 available today. We hope to approve these next month when we approve additional sections. Board Recruitment follow-up: We have one interested Cornell student. Jen will continue to follow-up with them. New Business: May 2010 Program Monitoring: CDP – Eddie Rooker and one other person. Monitoring Reports: Computer All Stars – Jen and Bill both monitored the program. The E-Center opened in early April. It will open up a lot of space in program area and give a lot of freedom. Tim has been a great asset to the program. Packet and handouts will be available in the front office. Jen Mainville will report next month. BBBS – The monitoring is scheduled for this week. There was a delay because of Bowling For Kids Sake Fundraiser. PSMP – The designated board members were not present. Board Comments/Issues: Annabel Fowler brought up the possibility of Cornell University’s Class of 2012 taking on the IYB as their class philanthropy. She suggested several ways that the groups could work together. The present board members were very enthusiastic about this possibility and strongly urged that the IYB move forward on this opportunity. Joan Spielholz emphasized how wonderful this opportunity could be and expressed her desire that the IYB do what they need to do to capitalize on the partnership. Allen and Jen agreed to set up a meeting between relevant staff and the Class of 2012 officers to discuss how the groups may work together. Adjournment: 8:25 P.M.
