Since there were not enough voting members, it was agreed that Jody will email all Board
Members and ask them to email their nominations in and we can vote on Chair and Vice-Chair at
next month’s meeting.
Staff Reports/Updates:
Liz reported that Common Council is voting on the 2014 Budget tonight (11/12/13) and nothing
had changed since the last report. The Mayor accepted the recommended budget that we
submitted.
The new Winter I-Playbook is out and registrations are coming in. Liz handed out a flyer for the
Friends of the IYB. Maguire will be doing $10.00 oil changes for the month of December and
all proceeds will be donated to Friends!
Big Brother Big Sister Program was pushing for advocacy for the County Funding and with
some fantastic team work and great community work this was added back in! Liz thanked the
staff and community members for the fantastic support!
There is a staff member moving on and at this point this position will be looked at again in
January, once we know where the Budget stands.
Board membership:
As Eric Nichols was not present, so we tabled the update on Stephen Smith and Mark Darling for
next month’s meeting. Eric was going to check in with both Stephen and Mark to see if they
intend to continue on the Advisory Board and report back. We do need to have new members
and if anyone knows of anyone, please encourage them to come and join us for a meeting.
