Nominating Committee Chair
The Board appointed Steve Haas as the chair of the Nominating Committee for the 2026 calendar year.
Bylaws Proposals
The Bylaws Committee presented four proposals that will be voted upon at next year’s AGM. The Board endorsed all the proposals without modification. The Treasurer presented a further proposal that will be reviewed in the next Board meeting.
2026 Budget
The Treasurer presented the proposed 2026 Budget. The Board recommended two amendments: to increase the “E-Punch System” budget from $2,000 to $12,000 (to purchase a new set of BSF9 units), and to increase the “Equipment Storage” and “Junior Storage” budgets each by $200 (to account for insurance now required by the storage facility). The Board approved the amended budget.
Other Business
The Board nominated Jeff Lanam to chair an ad hoc committee to investigate equipment purchasing, and recommended joining the waitlist for a larger storage locker.
The Board discussed other matters including club T-shirts and the Juniors Program, but no actions were taken.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 PM.
The next meeting is scheduled for Feb. 4th, 2026.
Respectfully submitted,
John Richardson
BAOC Secretary
