DFOK Meeting Notes: Thursday, March 6th.

The following items were discussed at March 6th (Thursday) DFOK meeting. Approx. 20 minutes were spent on each item, with some items being voted on regarding how to proceed as a Club. These items were not necessarily discussed in this order either.
1. It was proposed, discussed, and then voted on to have regular monthly meetings on the Last THURSDAY of Every Month. The motion passed 4-0 in favor. Thus the next DFOK meeting is Thursday, March 27th.
2. More time was spent working on our club Mission, Bylaws, Leadership Structure, Financial Standards, etc. Two points of interest are to (A) document what has already been agreed upon in previous meetings, and (B) further think through additional documented needs. A draft document was reviewed to spark topics of conversation. A motion passed 3-0 in favor continuing this work at the Mar. 27 DFOK meeting.
3. An update on the DFOK’s Fairmont Park Disc Golf Course project was provided by Rick Petrie. Tee sign posts are being installed, a few non-concrete tee pads have been “slipping away from their intended location” (3, 7, 8 to name a few). On Mar. 11th, Riley County Parks will be asking for the funds from the Riley County Parks Board, to build the remaining 7 concrete tee pads. Exact install date is not known.
4. The Summer Points League will begin Wednesday night, March 12th, rather than “taking a week off”. As earlier decided (Nov. 2013), the Summer Points League will take place at Warner Park.
5. Warner Park Phase II Project was discussed at length. Major items discussed were the (A) project history, (B) park geographic boundaries, and (C) potential political approaches for moving forward. Jon volunteered to draft a letter to send to the City parks department, then to post the draft document to our DFOK Google Group for review.
6. The DFOK Doubles League was discussed at length. Topics discussed included (A) potential league format changes & (B) potential for generating funds for new equipment at the River Pond course. A motion passed 4-0 in favor of finalizing league rules at the Mar. 27 DFOK meeting.
7. A motion passed 4-0 in favor of hosting a DFOK Club table/booth, for the 4th year, at the upcoming “Get Around 2 It” event. This event is set to take place on May 1st, hosted by the Manhattan Convention & Visitors Bureau, located at the Blue Earth Plaza in downtown Manhattan.
8. The club web-site, dfok.us, will remain in place for another year until we determine if it is needed. Thus far, Mark Kewley has paid for this site to be up & running. Rick Petrie offered to help pay for the next subscription fee, is it is under consideration to be / not to be supported by DFOK funds.
9. An update on Alan Fox’s Tuttle Creek State Park River Pond project was provided. Many options & ideas were discussed; however no official motions were made.
DFOK members in attendance: Jon Tveite, Mark Kewley, & Rick Petrie at start. Mitchell Brenn & Alan Fox joined the meeting in progress, at different times. (Thus not all of the voting numbers make sense)
Please keep in mind that the above text is a summary from my notes regarding the March 6th DFOK Meeting. They are not to be confused with official Minutes from the meeting. Official minutes will need to be reviewed, adjusted, and then approved at the next meeting.
