SUMMARY ofApril 2, 2008 Board meeting

Dear Fellow BSBCCA Members,

The following summary of the April 2, 2008 Board Meeting was approved at the Board meeting of May 5, 2008

Handicap parking was discussed. It appears that we already have more handicap spaces than the law requires. Additionally, staff reports that they very seldom see all of the handicap spaces in use, therefore it was the consensus of the Board not to increase the number of handicap parking spaces. In the event that a vehicle is found parked in a handicap space without proper authorization, then the staff will call Narragansett Police to ticket and/or tow the vehicle.

This year, any vehicle entering the parking lot without a BSBC sticker on the front window will be issued a 1 day parking permit which must be displayed at all times. The parking permit will contain vehicle registration information and the Unit Number issuing the Guest Passes to the vehicle’s occupants. Different colors will be used throughout the season.

A new rule for the coming season was discussed and passed. On weekends and holidays, members must be present at the Beach Club before their guests will be admitted. Gate staff will be instructed that whenever a guest presents at the gate on weekend or holiday, they must have previously verified that the inviting member is already on the premises. If the member is not on the premises, then the guests will not be admitted. Members will be urged to arrive at the Club prior to the arrival of their guests and leave Guest Passes at the gate when they arrive. This will be the easiest and most efficient way to verify their presence when guests arrive.

The dates on which Guest Passes will cost $18.00 this coming season were set as follows: July 4, 5, 6, 13, 20, and 27.

A replacement window has finally been found for the outside windows on the double bathhouses. The replacement window will fit in the existing opening without the need for any additional construction. Its appearance from the outside will be in conformity with the look of other replacement windows. The staff was instructed to update the entire list of replacement windows available including updating the price since all of the windows has increased in price since the last update. It appears through the cooperation of our members that we now have replaced more than half of the windows at the Beach Club.

Cliff reported on his progress in securing new members and handles for the doors. The consensus of the Board was to go with Cliff’s recommendation of using black at this seemed the most cost effective.

It appears that the lists maintained by Michelle in the office of owners that have passes available have somehow morphed into a much larger and more complicated brokerage for passes and Units. The Board was informed that the staff in the office spends hours dealing with the list which now includes a list of Units for sale and a list of people who are looking to buy Units, a list of passes for sale and a list of people to buy passes, and a list of Units for rent and a list of people who are trying to rent Units. It was never the intention for the Board that providing this service to the members would become so complicated and time consuming. After some discussion, the Board instructed Michelle that she needed to bring the system back to its original intended purpose. That purpose is to provide an easy way for members who are in need of additional passes to purchase them from other members who have passes to sell. In the future, Michelle was told that she should only accept listing for passes. She should no longer make lists of people who either are looking for Units to rent or people who have Units to rent and also refuse listings for sales of Units.

Respectfully submitted,
BSBCCA Board of Directors
