Meeting convened at 7pm, at Jim Crider's house.

Agenda:
     Nominations for Offices and Board of Directors
     Arranging details of the official Membership Meeting

Brief initial discussion about record keeping - do we do enough? Jim Crider brings out the charter and, after some discussion, the board is satisfied that we are meeting the requirements of the charter.

Discussion on potential nominees. Who is interested in helping out with the community club? Most of the current officers and board members indicate a willingness to run again, a couple need to scale back activities for work reasons.

Nominations slate:

Willie Williams for President
Kent Wills for Vice President
R'ykandar Korra'ti for Secretary
Jim Crider for Treasurer

Nick Warmenhoven, Peter Caka, Brian Lange, and Chris Farnesworth are suggested for Board of Directors. (We aren't sure they're all interested - we find out afterwards that Peter and Chris aren't, but that Sid Morton and Earl Bell are both willing to be nominated.)

Discussion about the past year's meetings. General consensus is that the system of having keynote speakers worked well and that we should get more. R'ykandar suggests a couple of meetings a year that are focused on things which aren't neighborhood problems; others note that issues and problems are part of the UPCC's reason for existence and think that focus should be continued. Discussion of reviving the UPCC Annual Picnic to address this, since last year's 17th Avenue Cookout was such a success, but Willie doesn't want to head it up again. R'ykandar agrees to serve on said committee if it forms.

Discussion about the election meeting. A combination membership form and ballot must be created for distribution before and during the meeting. The meeting will include a reiteration of the club's purpose - essentially a reminder of what the club's charter says the club is for.

Discussion of whether to provide snacks at the meeting. Various board members agree to bring in light snacks and/or soda. Willie wants the club to buy pizza and makes a motion to that effect. Motion is seconded by R'ykandar. Discussion takes place, generally approving; Jim Crider (Treasurer) specifically wants to make sure this is isn't going to become an ongoing expenditure. Everyone agrees that it shouldn't. Board votes 5-0 in favor of the expenditure.

Motion to adjourn passed at 8:40pm.
