To keep everyone up to date on what the FHA Board has been doing, here’s a bullet list of the important and interesting things that happened at the March 21, 2016 Board Meeting:
It was agreed to renew the Association’s general liability insurance, at a premium of $4,758. This insurance covers the activities of the FHA including our annual tour and mini-tours throughout the year.
Joan Sheahan was appointed Treasurer to fill the vacancy left by Ron Moreland’s resignation. Ron was appointed Director-At-Large.
While we continue to seek an FHA Membership chair, the dock reps and alternates are encouraged to contact people who were members last year but have not renewed this year.
Flo Hoylman, Ted Sempliner and Peter Hudson volunteered to be on a Committee examining alternative meeting spaces and menus for next year’s annual meeting.
Teddie Hathaway is scheduling an event for Mark McGuire to speak at East Pier, date to be determined.
The Board agreed to set up a budget of $5 per year per household for each dock to encourage composting. See Dock Budgets for Composting for details.
Flo Hoylman is arranging a two hour Get Ready Marin disaster preparedness session for the FHA Board. Then the dock reps can do sessions for their own docks. She is also investigating a First Aid Disaster Relief program put on by the Marin Medical Reserve Corps for non-medical people. It was agreed that the FHA will pay the fee ($5-$10 per person) for members who attend (15-person minimum).
She is also finalizing a proposal to provide berth numbers to homeowners who would like to place them on the water sides of their homes, to make them more identifiable for water-borne emergency responders.
Discussions continue regarding updating the FHA By-Laws.
