Meeting Minutes

1. Call to Order at 1910h.

2. Business Arising from the Minutes:

a. Administration – Terri Biasini formally resigned her position as Administrator.

Ralph has taken over the responsibilities of fee collection and reviewing e-mails that had accumulated in the ERHA account.

He has been re-invoicing those who have not paid 2016 fees and has been attempting to collect. There were approximately 80 homes with fees outstanding.

We discussed the invoicing for fees for 2017. The Board has decided that we will do an invoice and enclose a letter or newsletter which outlines the bylaw regarding fees and ERHA information. We will offer payment by e-transfer or cheque. We will also give a 60 day payment deadline and then follow-up with registered letter to those who have not paid. We will do the invoices by letter mail rather than e-mail. The plan is to have them out by mid-January.

Bill Teeple made a motion to pay $600 to Terri Biasini from the Administration stipend. The remaining $600 to Ralph Bullis or charity of his choice. Seconded by Leon Pfeiffer. Carried.

We have asked Peggy Hryniowski to assume the position of Interim Administrator. She will work with Ralph to coordinate the invoice for January and other administrator duties. The Board is appreciative of Peggy’s willingness to assist at this time!

b. Surplus School Site – nothing new to report.
