2010 Annual Meeting
A quorum of SWSA members was present and the meeting was
called to order. There were twenty-seven
members present with an additional sixteen per proxy, totaling forty-three voting members represented.
The 2009 Annual Meeting minutes were read and approved.
Committee Reports:
Maintenance—Ed Drane
We are obtaining bids and will make a decision about
repairing the sidewalk out front. There
are not any additional anticipated maintenance problems.
Membership—Lottie
Bushmann
There are currently 85 families on the waiting list.
Tennis—Maggie Drennan
Last year SWSA purchased 2 squeegies. We will probably need to purchase new nets
this year. The adult interest was not
enough to warrant a class last season.
Alison Wolfe taught last year and has not decided if she will be back to
teach this season. If anyone would like
a key to the court lock, a $20 deposit is required. Members can trade in old keys or obtain a key
through the pool manager.
Columbia Independent School rented our courts in the fall
last year and would like to rent them again. The practices will be held in the
afternoon prior to the opening of the pool season. The board will review this and decide if we
will allow them again.
Swim Team—Chris
Hayday
Last season’s swim team had a large enrollment of 68
swimmers. There was a good amount of
young/new swimmers which is good for the future of swim team. Through towel sales and concessions the swim
team had turned a profit. Last year’s
coaches indicated that they would all return this year. See Chris if you would like to purchase a
SWSA towel.
Social—Salli Cathro
The two Tween parties were successful and we plan on having
them again this season. The traditional
July 4th and Labor Day parties will be held. The July 4th party had less
members present due to rainy weather.
Budget—Larry
Larry reviewed the account balances and the projected 2010
budget. The 2010 budget was voted on and
approved. (See Account Balances and
Budget sheets)
Membership dues—Margy
The $400 dues will remain the same.
Election of New Board
Members—Margy
New Board members were voted on and approved by the
membership. New board members are Anne
Fitzsimmons, Erin Bower, Martin Wills, Jacqui Jamieson and Andrea Schulte (two
year term for vacant position).
Thank you to outgoing board members Margy Tonnies, Larry Cornell, Helen Burnham, Maggie Drennan
and David Graham . SWSA appreciates the
time you spent serving on the board.
Change to
Bylaws—Margy
The proposal to increase membership was discussed. The three options were (1) increase the current membership from 300 to
310, (2) increase the emeritus membership from 10 to 20 or (3) make no changes
to the current membership of 300 members.
This proposal was tabled due to confusion as to how the ballot was
worded. It can only be voted on by a
quorum of members and thus cannot be voted on again until the next annual
meeting. The board will look at voting
on it at the 2011 Annual Meeting.
New Business—
A member asked that the board look at extending the pool
hours. The member would like to propose
the pool open at 1pm instead of 4pm when school is in session to accommodate
more of the membership. The issue was
discussed and will be considered by the board.
See attached sheet.
Following the AGM, the Board of Directors met and agreed on the following assignments for 2010:
