Call to Order & Introductions

Privilege of the Floor
Jim Lotter spoke on the issue from the last meeting regarding the lack of participation from the membership. Feels that this board has made a number of poor decisions. In Room Guides should have been done 5 years ago. His guides were not delivered in a timely manner and feels service to the membership to be very poor. He travels everywhere and never sees any evidence of Mendocino County being promoted anywhere. He provided some of his ideas.

Jan responded to Jim’s comments expressing that he is more than willing to sit on the Marketing Committee and or run for the board.

Motion passed with 7 ayes and 4 nayes. 1 abstention. Motion passed.

2- Pauline moves to change from the existing 1989 BID law to the 1994 BID law. Motion passed unanimously.
