The meeting was called to order at 5:10 P.M. by Vice President, Pam Kyllo.

 

We agreed to meet again on  April 19^th at St. Peter the Fisherman.

 

There are fourteen members in the new class (the 5^th).

 

The background checks are complete and everyone passed.

 

Pam gave the secretary the signed Codes and Hold Harmless forms for the new class members. 

 

Michael Mumaw – Emergency Manager for the City of Beaverton will be on the beach at the North 15^th St. ramp to conduct a "flood fight".  We are invited to attend and observe.

 

The treasurer, Gisela, reported she was able to open a checking account for us with an anonymous donation of $750.  The $750 is to pay the filing fee for our 501C application.

 

We discussed filing for a 501C – the amount of the fee depends on how much money we expect each year.  Under $10,000 the fee is $500.  Over $10,000 the fee is $750.

 

This was tabled and will be discussed at the April 19^th meeting.

 

It was agreed that Pam would move up to be President and Sue Clark would step in as Vice President.

 

The secretary was instructed to make names and addresses available to the general members.

 

It was decided to establish a committee to form committees.

 

The meeting was adjourned at 6:10 P.M.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

Pam will take care of our display in the window at the fire station.

 

The Health and Human Services department is very happy with our Emergency Management Database.

 

The advanced training session will deal with preparing for the door-to-door contacts. Don has a draft plan. We are to review this and get back to Don ASAP so we can vote on it at the April meeting.

 

Delegated jobs will be recorded in the minutes.

George will get the Articles of Incorporation from our attorney and send them in along with the $55 fee.

 

George gave Gisela the final Federal Grant document from Lincoln County, Newport Police Department and Central Coast CERT (who applied for the grant on our behalf). She is to read the grant and report back to the Board.  Instead of money, we will receive thirty radios and thirty jackets.

 

Seventeen members participated in the Toledo Drill on February 27^th. Don and Pauline gave us their comments about the drill and their participation.

George will speak to committee heads (if there are any) to see what is being done. If nothing is organized, the committees will be abolished.

 

Board members are encouraged to assist instructors in keeping members on track.

 

This morning on KBCH, Alex, Don and George talked about our organization and were able to answer questions.  They did a great job.

 

George expects us to be ready to begin our door-to-door information program within a month. Before that time, we will have new ID tags.

 

George will ask the L.C. Police Chief to have the background checks done for us at no charge. The checks are mandatory. Anyone refusing will be asked to turn in his or her jacket and ID.

 

Don Martin will work on a media blitz to explain what we are doing and what we hope to accomplish by our door-to-door contacts. The contacts will be mapped out by "islands".

 

To avoid any misinformation, talking to media will be done only by George, Don and Alex.  Members are to refer any questions regarding CERT to these three people.

 

It was decided to allow non certified members to attend the advanced training if they are attending the current class.
