The October minutes were approved.
Paul discussed his concerns about our approach to meeting minutes now that we are a 501(c)3 non-profit. He said that our official minutes should include only official actions. The interactions within a meeting could go into a “Meeting Notes” document.
Paul moved that we adopt this approach, and all were in favor. |
“Beginning Balance $2765.00 Deposits $464.11 Ending Balance $3218.61 “Please note last month the WBWC board completed our financial contribution to the NEW board training from 2010. Each member who attended the training paid $20.00.”

4. New Business a. Officer Elections Paul moved that we close the nominations and accept the officer candidates. This motion passed. This meant that our current officers would continue in their positions for another year.
c. Grant News The WBWC has recently received a grant from the Michigan Department of Community Health for a WBWC pedestrian law education project. The final award to WBWC will be $6,500 ($4,000 from Michigan Department of Community Health) and $2,500 from the Ann Arbor Downtown Development Association (DDA). This does not include the match provided by WBWC ($250), Thompson Reuters ($500 printing in kind for employees), and City of Ann Arbor ($1,000 in kind).
The purpose of the grant: we helped change a pedestrian ordinance, which was accepted by the City Council. This grant will be used to educate people about the new ordinance.
There will be an active subcommittee for this activity, which will include Larry, Erica, Kris and Lily.
Paul moved that we appoint a subcommittee to include Erica, Liz, Larry and Kris to manage this activity as detailed in the grant proposal. This motion passed (Erica abstained.)
j. Fuller Road Garage Update Joel reported that he is on the U-M transportation team for a sustainability study. Joel asked if he could send information about these activities to the WBWC e-mail list. We agreed that he could.
