1. The meeting was opened by President Jane Pierce with the Pledge of Allegiance.
2. Minutes from the January 8th Meeting were read and approved.
3. Eileen Ramsdell gave the Treasurers report. The Treasury currently has a positive balance of $588.39.
4. House Facilities Report: Art Caputo reported that the House Fund has a current balance of $7.02. We have purchased a new 60-cup coffee-maker to replace the 40-cupper that died last month. In addition, we have installed a large receptacle next to the soda machine for the placement of all refundable bottles and cans left at the center.
5. Morgan Management, LLC., found it necessary to convert their kitchen and bathroom facilities into additional offices. So in the interim, their staff and personnel will be using our facilities. This is a temporary measure until plans go through for expansion of the building. This does not lessen nor waive the need to keep all of the facility in a neat and orderly condition by all persons who avail themselves of our center.
6. We now have a wholesale supplier from whom we can purchase all necessary supplies used at the center, this includes, toilet tissue, hand toweling, plates, cups, cleaning items as well as soaps and de-greasers, kitchen work gloves, etc - this will result in a substantial savings in purchasing those necessary goods rather than going to a semi-retail outlet We will continue to shop prices however, to keep costs down. The supplier is "Regional Distributors" 1545 Mt. Read Blvd. Rochester 14605; 458-3300. Our Sales Representative is Jeff Volkmuth.
7. Facilities Usage Report: Bill Schukraft reported that again bookings are vigorous indicating that our residents really like the availability of such a facility. Among those who have recently used the facility several chose to donate their $25.00 refundable deposits to GMEC. For their generosity, we thank: George & Nancy Townsend of 1001 Gypsum Mills St.; Marjorie and Maurice Brien of 6428 Francis Dr.; Pat and Dave Schrader of 6411 Roberts Dr.; Stephen & Lorraine Powell of 6422 Francis Dr.; Lane and Cheryl Smith of 969 Gypsum Mills St.
8. Committee Reports::
1. As Chairman of the Legislative Affairs Committee, Bill Schukraft requested and received approval by the Board of Directors to publish an article in the March Scoop outlining an action taken by the New York State Attorney General's Office against "Affordable Great Locations."
2. Art Caputo reported that the By-Laws Vote will be conducted on February 26, between the hours of 9:00 A.M. and 9:00 P.M. at the Complex Building Facility. Art indicated that no one volunteered from among the residents to come in and tally the vote after the polls are closed. We asked for volunteers in the last edition of "The Scoop." President Jane Pierce, will therefore appoint three persons from among the Residents who are NOT Board Members to act as additional vote counters.
3. Per Art Caputo, the Saint Patrick's Day Party and Dinner set for Saturday, March 20, is moving along - within two weeks of the first advertising in the Scoop - over 50% of the available tickets had been sold.

9. Unfinished Business: Ansul System Cleaning - As per Board Direction, Art Caputo contacted several companies to give an evaluation of and an estimate for the cleaning of the Ansul System in the Club House Kitchen. He met with three company representatives and they were of the opinion that the cooking area was in good shape and didn't need to undergo a cleaning program at this time.
10. New Business:
1. As Chairman of the Legislative Affairs Committee, Bill Schukraft requested and received approval by the Board of Directors to publish an article in the March Scoop outlining an action taken by the New York State Attorney General's Office against "Affordable Great Locations."
2. Bill Schukraft will be away for the month of April and has arranged for Howard Strassner to take over the Building Bookings for the month of April. The Board approved unanimously.
3. Bill Schukraft questioned the need for locking the storage closet where all the supplies are kept. He felt that all facilities should be open to all residents. There is currently eight hundred plus dollars worth of supplies in that closet and Art Caputo who is in charge of those supplies indicated there was a need to secure them. Bill further indicated he felt that several conmittee people should have keys to the building; such as the pool committee. He stated that he had already given a key to Paul Ward. Art Caputo indicated that subsequent to a conversation with Joyce Southerton, Management did not want everyone to have keys. Possession of keys to the complex is to be restricted to: The Board President (Jane Pierce), The Facilities Manager (Art Caputo), and the Building Coordinator (Bill Schukraft). The Board passed a motion by Howard Strassner that there should be tight security and that the possession of keys be restricted to the three aforementioned persons. The Motion was passed four to one with one abstention.
4. Jane Pierce indicated that now that the only bathroom facilities available to Morgan personnel are in the Club House, we need to revisit the cleaning schedule for the bathrooms and consider more frequent cleanings.
5. Art Caputo also noted that the facility has been left in a less than tidy condition due to the use of the facilities by Morgan Personnel - dishes left on the sink - baby bottles - trash not properly disposed of, the refrigerators contained partially consumed foodstuffs and dishes of food that had been there for over a week.. He met with Peter Savoca of Morgan Management at the request of the Board. Mr. Savoca agreed that there needs to be more thorough policing of the area and will address the problem with Morgan Office personnel.

11. The meeting was adjourned at 9:25 P.M.

Respectfully submitted, Arthur F. Caputo, Secretary
