November 3, 2022 at 10:00 AM - Executive Committee Meeting

Rationale:  We have approved up to two staff and two directors to attend the GMDA Winter Conference, January 23-26.  Birkel has indicated he is interested.  Please let staff know if you are interested in attending.  

Rationale:  We have approved up to two staff and two directors to attend the NACD Annual Meeting, February 11-15.  Early Bird registration ends 12/23/22. Please let staff know if you are interested in attending.  

Rationale:  Attached find Don Veskerna's absence request from the September Board Meeting (Grandson Football) and Alex Kavan, Matt Bailey and Chris Yosten absence from the October Board Meeting (Harvest).

Rationale:  Our November 14th Board Meeting will be held at Columbus Lakeview High School starting at 4:30 p.m. 

Rationale:  We will hear from the Shell Creek group at our November Board Meeting.

For our December education program, we have invited JEO personnel to give us the Cottonwood 21-A and 7-A Dam Assessment Reports.  

Rationale:  Discussion is needed if we wish to change our January Committee meetings from the last week of December to the first week of January.

Rationale:  A week or so back I forwarded out potential exterior renderings to all board members and we continue to work with JEO to develop total project estimated costs.   After working through some scheduling conflicts, plans are to meet with JEO and the new building subcommittee in the next two weeks.

Rationale:  Discussion is requested regarding our policy for excusing or not excusing absences for our board meetings.  After much discussion by Committee members, it was felt that the only excused absence from a Monthly Board Meeting would be for personal or family member health issues. 

Rationale:  Staff is discussing developing a process for our board to review and potentially alter each of our existing policies.  The plan would be to review multiple policies or sections of policy at each board meeting beginning at the February meeting.  This will allow policies to be reviewed by all directors, including those newly elected.  This process could take one to two years to complete.

Rationale:  The November NARD Board of Directors meeting will be held at the Clint Johannes Education Building on November 6th and 7th and Directors from around the state will be in attendance.

Rationale:  Find attached the Final July and August financial statements. At the October Board Meeting we had drafts attached due to waiting on the Annual Audit.

Grant will be available to review the September Financial statement. 

Rationale:  Attached find Gottschalks time and expense sheets.
