• Maintenance Report — Ken
  • New well almost finished. 53’ deep, 50 gal/min. RDNO would have liked it to be deeper but hit bedrock a 75’
  • Boys mowing are doing a good job, yard looks good.
  • Parking lot will be dug up again to run water lines from new well. Not sure when that will happen.
  • Need to put in a 220 volt plug for dishwasher, will ask Rainer and get him to put a switch by the door at the same time.
  • Warranty on dishwasher requires that their plumber install dishwasher. We shouldn’t need to buy their chemicals for cleaning, more environmentally friendly ones available.
  • Outhouse needs to be put back in place with necessary repairs to be made before hand.
• Financial Report — Russ
  • June 15^th Burger Night lost $221.45. Lots of alcohol left over and ½ of the burgers made are frozen for next time. 
• Rental Report — Doug
  • No new rental requests.
  • Doug is still working on insurance. There are 2 parts to the insurance, ours and the renters. Lisa Frey at Capri has worked out a policy to make rentals easier. We’ll see what she has to say after speaking with the underwriter.
• Events — Terri
  • Burger night was  attended, mosquitoes were ferocious. Ate inside, some new people attended.
  • Next burger night July 13.
  • 100-Mile Potluck set for August 18. Would Huguette consider organizing talent show again?

Old Business

• Well and parking lot discussed under maintenance.
• Acoustic panels installed, still slight echo but sound is noticeably better.
• Ken could still make concrete sign, but board thought wooden sign would be much less work. Mark to call sign makers to cost a replacement sign of similar size.

New Business

• Stumprancher: what is the purpose? Local interest. Name stays for now.
• Logo? On hold.
• Update of rental policy, re: “obligations of the tenant”. Updates needed on Rental Agreement.
• Internet, phone needs to be turned on by each renter, still not sure how to deal with the wi-fi. Mark suggested changing plans, one for winter, one for summer.
• Fire Preparedness: we’ll contact people on list Boyd compiled to see if they agree to share contact info.
• Concession window: dangerous, needs to be fixed before it falls on someone.
• Basketball Hoops: what to do with them? Russ will contact WVCC.
• Audio-visual: Mark has a “new in the box” HD projector he is willing to donate to the hall.
• Bathroom repaint: since stipple has been done, the ceiling could be repainted but not critical. Ken will adjust stall door.
• Grant Money: Huguette applied for grant from Monashee Arts Council and received $1,500.00 to go towards preparing a plan for an Interpretive Centre. Huguette has provided a draft of the fauna and flora to be displayed at the Mabel Lake Community Hall’s Interpretive Centre. We could hire a consultant to make a plan which would allow us to apply for more grant money.

Odds & Ends

• Camper on Shuswap Falls Road, seems to be living there, Rick Fairbairn is looking into it.

Next meeting August 7 at Doug's.
