Room) IgMembers Present: Bill Finnerty - Chair; Matty Hamel; Jeff Bushnell; Ron Space II Members Absent: Jim Wood -Vice Chair; Ralph Boettger, Ann Grant; Marty Wilson; Vicki Wilkins Town Board Rep.: Steve Stelick Town Rec. Coord Jennifer Glaab Guests: Lisa Stelick (note taker); Russ Kowalski, President of Dryden Lions Athletic Club Meeting began at approx. 7:40am. Lisa Stclick took notes for this meeting. I. 6/5 & 6/16 minutes are tabled awaiting quorum of DRC members for vote 2. DRC Fundraising: Discussion ensued regarding whether or not DRC can fundraise, open their own banking account, etc. Steve believes, basal on recollection of discussions with the Town attorney, that the DRC should probably not have their name attached for fundraising as the DRC is an arm of the Town government and the Town's cannot fundraise. However, this does not prevent DRC members as individuals to join groups/causes such as DLAC, Friends of Dryden Wrestling, etc. and fundraise. Bill & Many plan to attend the next Town Board meeting to ask for clarification, 3.
