 BOD Present:  Mark Filipiak, Kevin Gorski, Bob Hayes, Mike Kennedy, Tim Nechuta, Rick Pufall

 BOD Excused:  Chuck Grabow

 Others Present:  Kory Kukuczka

 

Meeting called to order at 6:35pm by Jim Fuls, President.

 Approval of June 8, 2005 Minutes: Motion to approve by Mark Filipiak. Bob Hayes second.

Approved by voice vote.

 Building Committee:  BRR Technologies sent a quote for a dehumidification system – Much discussion on the importance of having a dehumidification system at our rink…reduces moisture, keeps the air temperature at 65 degrees, it keeps the ice at a more even temperature, there fore reducing energy costs.  – Also comments made that steel beams in our rink are showing signs of rust and there are other areas where such high moisture is causing problems.  The cost of this system would be $118,645.00.   Before a decision can be made on whether or not to purchase a dehumidification system, Mark Filipiak would like to see if our compressors can handle being hooked up to such a system. Also, it would have to be pre-approved by the City of Mosinee, because there would be visible duct work showing in the Recreation Center at all times. **Also a side note—last month Jon Krueger wanted our rink dimensions, to see if Greenheck could possibly help us with any of this system.

 Last year Kulps of Stratford fixed the leaking roof in the storage and locker room area, but the interior ceiling was left with water stains.  Bob Hayes made a motion for Steve to purchase the needed materials to repair the damaged areas.  Mike Kennedy second.  Approved by voice vote.

 The Shower areas of locker rooms 3,4, 5 & 6 have loose rubber mats that are not sealed from moisture; making the area impossible to keep clean and fungus free.  Steve would like to replace the rubber matting and have it glued in place.  At least in the shower area of locker rooms 3 & 4…and if cost effective also do 5 & 6 this year, he will come back to the Board in August with a dollar amount. 

 The Header is fixed and after the St Paul’s Fall Festival; Mark, Mike & Rick will get back into the rink, and will be able to finish the rest. 

 Scheduling Committee:  Nothing to Report

 Finance Committee:  Motion by Bob Hayes to approve the June 2005 Finance Report.

Mike Kennedy second.  Approved by voice vote.

 No reply from the certified letter that was sent to the director of Silver Blades.  She only made a partial payment in January 2005 for $2,750 and did not make another payment for the 2004-2005 season. Amount from last season still over due is $3,250.

 We have been given the unofficial word that the Silver Blade parent’s will be forming a Board and Silver Blades will be under different leadership for the 2005-2006 season.

 Fund Raising Committee:  Terri Bornheimer will be the new MHC contact for ordering ALL merchandise with the Mosinee Pride logo on.  (T-shirts, sweat shirts, jackets, etc.)  There will be a few items in stock to be purchased anytime and Terri will place individual orders at regular intervals throughout the year – Terri will post an order schedule at the beginning of the season.  We Thank Mike Riedel for getting the balling rolling with the logo and finding venders.  We Thank Terri for stepping forward and taking this project over from Mike.  Terri will also remain the MHC Equipment Manager.

 Public Relations Committee:  Tammi would like to hire a photographer from the Appleton area for this years team and individual pictures.  She was not happy with the photographer we had last season, Express Photo from Schofield, and did some looking around for this year.  This company did Wausau Youth Hockey’s last year and they were very professional and turned out quality photos.   They will also give MHC a percentage of sales back as a fund raiser.  Motion made by Mike Kennedy to let Tammi hire the photographer of her choice for this year’s team and individual photos.  Bob Hayes second.  Approved by voice vote.

 At 9:07, Steve Hagman made a motion to adjourn the July MHC Board meeting. 

Bob Hayes second.  Approved by voice vote.

 At this time the Board went into closed session: - the following was decided…

 Hockey Development Committee:

Kevin Gorski presented his letter of interest for the MHC ACE Coordinator position.  After Kevin answered many questions from each of the Board members, Mark Filipiak made a motion to accept Kevin as MHC ACE Coordnator.  Mike Kennedy second.  The Board unanimously accepted Kevin Gorski as ACE Coordinator.

 Only (2) two letters of interest, one from Mike Riedel and one from Kory Kukuczka, and (1) verbal show in interest from Cory Tomczk were submitted for possible members of the Hockey Development Committee.  After much discussion that perhaps we listed too many duties in our definition and “scared” interested people off – it was decided to give newly appointed, ACE Coordinator, Kevin Gorski a couple weeks to recruit a few more volunteers. 

 It was at this time that the Board decided to put off choosing members of the Hockey Development Committee until Wednesday, July 27th, when a special, closed session Board Meeting will take place to chose the 3-5 members best suited for the Hockey Development Committee.

 MHC Website:

Jodie Weimerskirch will no longer be MHC webmaster.  MHC would like to Thank Jodie for her years of website service, and especially for getting MHC in the electronic age by getting our website set up and started.  We will discuss where our website will go from here at our August Board Meeting.

 At 10:00 pm the Board ended closed session with the understanding of continuing on July 27th at 6:30 pm at the Plumber and Steamfitters Training Center.
