Annual Membership Meeting Minutes
January 25, 2005

The annual membership meeting started as planned with an introduction by Paul Howell, Chairman, of Dave Graham, Coordinator. Dave gave a brief synopsis of what a watershed council is and does and then covered some of the accomplishments of this past year.

There were approximately 25 people in attendance for these two presentations.

After a short break for refreshments and discussions the business meeting was called to order at 8:26PM.

The changes to the bylaws regarding the absence of board members, filling a quorum, and changing the annual meeting to the 4th Tuesday of January were all passed unanimously.

Minutes of the Annual General Membership Meeting
January 27, 2004

Meeting was called to order by Chairman Dan Welty at approximately 7:00 PM. Board members present were Marty Burreson, Bill Collins, Marilyn Burbank, Gail Perrotti, Paul Howell, Dave Kizer, Dan Kewish, Walt Fitzgerald, Mike Davis, John Nally, Teresa Kelly. Absent: Royal Gasso, Eric Weiss.

Chairman Dan Welty reviewed the past year and spoke of the coming year.

Two amendments to the Bylaws were brought up for discussion and vote.

Contracts Section: It was passed unanimously to eliminate the criteria that read "Open invitation for bids or alternate proposals and a minimum of two bids or alternate proposals are needed for projects". The membership felt that this criteria was too restrictive and could also be a base for liability.

An Indemnification of Officers and Directors statement is to be added to the Bylaws. After much discussion about the complicated wording, the statement will be added as worded, passed by a majority vote.

The remainder of the meeting was devoted to the election of Board members and officers for the 2004 term.

Board Members elected:

Agriculture/Livestock Marty Burreson
Forestry Bill Collins
Education Gail Perrotti
Recreation Paul Howell

Minutes of the General Membership Meeting
January 29, 2002

Board Members in attendance, Max Bennett, Marilyn Burbank, Marty Burreson, Bill Collins, Mike Davis, Walt Fitzgerald, Walt Hill, Paul Howell, Dan Kewish, David Kizer, John Nally, Rene Pellissier, Gail Perrotti, and Dan Welty.

The meeting was opened at 7 pm by Amy Wilson, who offered to serve as meeting facilitator for this meeting, if desired by the organizing members. Her offer was accepted by all in attendance.

Amy suggested that the Council establish a process for holding meetings that would begin meetings by establishing the meeting agenda on a flip chart. She offered to lend one of hers until the Council can obtain one of its own. The meeting agenda was established and conducted as follows:

ONE YEAR TERM BOARD MEMBERS. The directors decided by volunteers among themselves, which board positions would be the ones to serve one year terms. The initial one year terms will be served by David Kizer, Rene Pellissier, Bill Collins, Walt Hill, Max Bennett, Walt Fitzgerald, Dan Kewish, and John Nally.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS. The Board then accepted nominations and volunteers for a slate of officers. The following persons were unanimously selected as the officers for the first year:

Gail Perrotti, Chair
Marty Burreson, Vice Chair
Marilyn Burbank, Treasurer
David Kizer, Secretary

COUNTY RECOGNITION. Walt Fitzgerald was selected to hand carry a formal request for recognition to the County Commissioners and seek a place on the meeting agenda for the following regular weekly Commissioners meeting. Gail and Cat Kizer would collaborate on a cover letter and put together packets for the Commissioners including the By-laws, Map, list of board members, officers, and a membership roster.

REPRESENTATIVE TO THE RBCC. Walt Fitzgerald was selected as our representative to the Rogue Basin Coordinating Council, to attend the regular meetings.

SBWC REGULAR BOARD MEETINGS. It was decided that the regular board meetings would be scheduled for the 3rd Tuesday of each month at the Gold Hill Grange Hall. The Grange Hall confirmed availability and entered it on their calendar.

MISC. ORGANIZATIONAL FORMALITIES. Marilyn and David were selected to research various formalities, including application for EIN, Oregon registration of an assumed business name, and opening a bank account.

It was decided that the official address for the SBWC would be Gail Perrotti's, 15955 Jones Road, White City, OR 97503.

STANDING COMMITTEES. It was decided that decisions on committees would be tabled until after Tony Brauner speaks to our organization in February about the experiences of the Middle Rogue WSC in its own organization process. Tony will address our next meeting to relate what he thinks they have done right and what they may have done differently.

WIMER MEETING FOR FIRE HAZARD EDUCATION. Max Bennett reported that the ODF and OSU Extension wish to schedule very soon, an educational public meeting in Wimer for the purpose of presenting resources available to citizens for fire proofing land. The date has not been selected, but may be as soon as late February. Max suggests that this may be a good opportunity for SBWC to cosponsor the meeting for the purpose of generating some SBWC exposure to the community. It was decided that for the next meeting that Max, with volunteer assistance if needed from Paul Howell, Dan Kewish, Marilyn Burbank, and Gail Perrotti, would make a presentation to the board for approval.

AGENDA FOR NEXT MEETING. It was suggested that we try to arrange seating in a U-shape and that everyone in attendance be encouraged to speak during the course of the meeting, perhaps to state what we each have as goals or expectations for the participation in the SBWC. In addition to the presentation by Tony, under "Old Business", we will have at least, (1) the presentation on participation in the Wimer Fire Hazard Education Program, and (2) an update on progress of the organization formalities, such as County recognition, application for EIN, assumed business name registration, etc. Under "New Business" we will (1) consider additional organizational details, such as committees and watershed assessment and (2) ask for ideas for potential future projects.

Respectfully submitted by David Kizer, Secretary.
