Mr. Molina first introduced
Barbara Cytrynowicz who has been hired to replace Carlos Alvarado as Tennis
Director effective October 1, 2001. Ms. Cytrynowicz gave a brief presentation of
her qualifications and showed the Board some samples of her work from previous
positions she held.
Mr. Molina reviewed the
Compensation Package that was passed out to each Board member (see attached).
A MOTION was made by
Mr. Josephson and seconded by Dr, Menchel to ratify the hiring and compensation
package for Ms. Cytrynowicz. MOTION
PASSED 6 FOR and 0 AGAINST. Mr. Mintzer abstained from voting.
Mr. Molina then passed out
a financial package to each Board member and went ahead to explain the financial
position of the Tennis facility. Mr. Molina stressed that it has taken a year to
get the financial health of the club in order and now the community can move
forward to make the club stronger.
Mr. Molina went on to talk
about the meeting he, Mr. Josephson, and Ms. Landler had with a group of Tennis
Club members and what he learned about the history of the club. He also stressed
that the members were very direct in what they wanted for the club. The group
has also toured the facility and has made notes of the deficiencies so that they
can be corrected.
Mr. Brawer presented a
purchase request for supplies and equipment that is needed for the club. The
total needed is $25,000, which includes the clay needed on the courts. (See
attached).
A MOTION was made by
Mr. Berk and seconded by Ms. Lander to take $25,000 from reserves to fund the
necessary purchases and repairs.
MOTION PASSED 7 votes
for and 0 against.
Mr. Molina again stressed
that Ms. Cytrynowicz will be responsible for not only activities but also the
maintenance of the facility. It is important that members see work in progress
at all times and know who they can go to in order to report problems.
Mr. Mintzer asked what it
would take to keep members at Eagle Trace when the rates at other clubs are less
expensive. Ms. Cytrynowicz responded that the three most important factors are
1.) Customer service 2.) Court availability and 3.) Activities.
It was recommended that the
club set up an advisory board to meet with management and the Board on a regular
basis so that the feelings of the members are always known and addressed.
Mr. Brawer was asked that
in the future that the purpose of Board meetings is posted on the signs at the
gates.
Mr. Bloch reminded everyone
about the upcoming Halloween Party.
The meeting was adjourned
at 4:30pm
Respectfully submitted,
Louis Brawer
