Pier Manager Report – Dave has reviewed the number of regulars and now he can decide who should not be considered in the regular category any more.
There is a cap of 55 regular crafts persons. If you miss 91 days or more, you must go back to Snowbird category and make up the days in order to achieve Regular status again.
The person will not have to wait for an opening in the Regular Category and would at that time move back to Regular Status.
Dave suggests changing inactive Grandfathered participants to a separate category and reviewing everyone’s status every 3 months.
1)Who hasn’t set up in 90 days?

The Board agrees to ask Gypsy to remove his camp from Mallory.
Pete’s going away Party – Sabrina motions to make Monday, July 12 Pete’s going away party in combination with the First Annual CPS Summer Party. She asks CPS to fund this event due to the fact that a lot of members work hard for the organization and donate a lot of time. This would be a good time of year for all of us to get together and have a great enjoyable time. It also is a time for CPS to show their thanks to all that stick it out through the summer months as well as those who have volunteered. Antonio seconds. Passed.
Guideline Changes- OJ Dave asks the Board to define “simultaneous” as it pertains to our guidelines. Don will get a legal definition on this from an attorney. We need to have a legal decision on what went wrong in the past as far as splitting partnerships goes.
Keep things status quo for now and after Don get’s a legal definition the Board will work on fixing this problem so we won’t be manipulated again.
Steve K submits a formal complaint re: John and Natalie operating in two businesses simultaneously.
