Annual Board Meeting
January 2, 2007
Called to order at 7:15 pm.
In Attendance: Cori Meyer, Carrie
Dempsey, Chris Vaught, Kris Rainey, Cathie Rossman, Kathy
Flaherty, Elisabeth Rossman and Jim Collins – via internet.
Elaine Oxborrow was absent.
Treasurer’s Report: As of
12/7/2006, we have $9,004.17. There were 21 membership
renewals and 2 new members. All board members have renewed.
Secretary’s Report: None
Training Report: Chris Vaught is
arranging a spring seminar with Sharon Freilich. Possible
dates discussed: May 18-20 and the 1st, 2nd
and 4th weekends in June. After discussion, it was
determined that the 4th weekend of June would be
best; June 22nd-24th. The 1st
weekend in June is Reno KC, the 2nd weekend in June
is a R2R trial and the 3rd weekend in June is the
TMDTC trial. There is still a discussion about whether to have
2 days for novice / 1 day advanced or 1 ½ days for each. The
venue will be Fuji Park. In the event that Fuji is
unavailable, then Chris Vaught will host it. Sharon is
charging $800 a day which includes expenses. Chris Vaught is
still waiting to hear from Sharon about a cap on the number of
working dogs and auditors so that we can set the pricing.
Old Business:
2005 Danglers – Carrie still has the
danglers that are misspelled and will go to Reno to sort
it all out with the vendor. There are also a few missing
which Carrie will also sort out with the vendor.
2006 Awards – will be ordered this
week. Cathie Rossman was awaiting two orders from
members.
August 2005 Weave Poles from the
Worker Raffle – Deb White won those and is still
waiting for them.
New Business:
1. Bylaw Revision – Equipment Rental
Provisions for Members & Non-Members- Chris Vaught
and Cori Meyer will work on this clause for the next
board meeting in April. This led into a reminder that
the Quicksilver Agility board meetings are open and any
member can attend. The dates for the remaining board
meetings are as follows: April 9th, June 11th
and September 10th all at 6:00pm.
2. Date for July Smith Valley Trial
– The dates for the July Quicksilver Agility trial
were set for July 14-15 in the evening.
3. Junior Classes / Agility Classes
thru Carson City Park & Rec – Carrie Dempsey
reported that nothing further had been done about this.
However, she and Kim did provide classes for juniors at
Kim’s house. We did have one Junior who joined our
club and maybe her mother will be willing to assist with
developing our Junior Program.
4. Equipment to be Purchased -
a. Electric Timers – We decided
to purchase them and Chris Vaught will research
them. The vote was 8 yes with one absent.
b. Pause Table - We need to replace the green one.
Needs to be USDAA regulation.
c. The contact zone on our dog walk needs to be
USDAA regulation as well. It is illegal for the
contact to be in the middle of slats. Jim Collins
checked the USDAA and CPE sites for their contact
rules. USDAA – space between slats has to be
12-15" and are not required to be evenly
spaced. CPE contact zone requirement is 42".
d. Our A-Frames are okay for another year but we
should either replace or refurbish them in 2008.
e. Our tires are okay.
f. The length of our chute is too short. It must be
12’ and our new chute is 8’. The length of the
chute on the dog house is 12’.
g. Our jumps are okay but we do need spread jumps.
They are not CPE regulation. We decided
that we 2 each: double and triple. Chris Vaught
brought up that broad jumps are now required
in USDAA Steeplechase.
h. Our tunnels are okay but we need some more
snugglers.
i. We also discussed the need for an
equipment/inventory manager.
5. Another Website Manager – We need
a new website manager as Deb White has done if for a
long time and would like to step down. The job is open
to the general membership first. If no one in the
general membership wants to do it, then we will look at
hiring someone from the outside or using a service. The
person who does this does get a free Quicksilver
membership and $65 in QA bucks. We discussed whether Deb
would be able to train the next manager on how to
maintain the website or the club paying for a training
class at one of the local colleges.
6. Demo Team – It was brought up
that we would be more prepared when we get calls to go
to events we had a Demo Team. This group would consist
of all levels and practice so they would be prepared to
demo at an event and already know what equipment they
would need. This would require the Demo Team to bring
Quicksilver Agility information and packets with them.
The vote was 8 yes with one absent in favor of creating
a Demo Team. Chris Vaught said that she would be on that
committee. This led to a discussion about alternate
locations for possible Quicksilver Agility classes. Max
Baer’s site in Carson was mentioned and Chris Vaught
said that she would contact him.
