The meeting was called to order by Chairman Delgado at 10:07AM. All Board Members were present with the exception of Mark, Susan and Christine.
Comments from the audience: Donnie Ruland was present and requested to be added to the agenda in regards to seniority status.
He was added to the agenda.

Secretary’s report: Wink gave the report which included the approval of the minutes of August 18th and 23rd 2010. A discussion was conducted on the seniority status of Gary Sibley. A review of the documented nightly attendance sheets indicated that he was far short of the days he needs to work on the pier. The pier managers were instructed to have Gary draw keys from the correct bucket until his attendance total permitted him to move up. The pier managers and OJ will work at fine tuning the check off sheet for individual accounting of each participants days worked. A motion was made by Kristie and seconded by Don to approve the Secretary report. The motion passed.

Treasurer report: OJ gave the Treasurer report. We had a deficit month for August in regards to income vs. cost of operation. The overall status of fund is still in the black. A motion was made by Kristie and seconded by Wink to approve the Treasurer report. The motion passed.

Pier manager report: Bert gave the first pier manager report regarding recent events. The complete report is filed in the CPS document book. A motion was made by Wink and seconded by Kristie to approve the pier manager report. The motion passed. Pier manager report: A second report was given by Annie. A motion was made by Wink and seconded by Don to approve the second report. The motion passed. Annie did not submit a written report. Donnie Ruland’s concerns were addressed with both pier managers regarding his status. His current status is a regular participant. Part of the problem is the daily attendance record sheets that the pier managers and OJ will be working on.

PC report: The PC report was given by Barbara. A request was tendered by the committee for the board to restrict the number of performer spaces. A motion was made by Wink and seconded by Kristie to approve the PC report with the exception of the request. The motion passed. The request by PC regarding performer spaces was addressed earlier in the year by this board and the performer committee. No action was taken. New Pier manager: Wink advised that the new pier manager (Amelie) had resigned due to health issues. She had passed out at one of her other jobs and was advised by her physician to slow down to prevent stress related problems. She thanked the organization for being allowed to work. Performer assault on tourist: Kinnata has been suspended by the pier manager from working and is currently in jail. The pier managers were advised to have him appear before the board before any consideration of him coming back to work. The Board wanted to suspend or expel him permanently. A policy of allowing the offender to present his/her defense prior to any action should be followed as this was adopted by past Boards. The General Membership can address his expulsion. A motion was made by Don and seconded by wink that we follow the procedure. The motion passed.
