Cloudcroft Contract: No change – Until all the repair items are fixed, the contract is up in the air. Work was done on the fire alarm system.
Grant Updates – The $11,000 check for the refrigerator and ice machine was sent to the Village of Cloudcroft instead of us. Chris is contacting the Village to return the check or give us the money.
Survey Results and Public Hearing - The open meeting was held on June 11. We discussed suggestions that we have previously tried, and no one attended (movie day, Tai Chi in Cloudcroft). Survey results were presented to the Board. The majority of consumers stated they would be willing to pay $4 for our meals.
Vehicle Options – Chris stated she contacted the State regarding the motor pool and they said they didn’t have any vehicles. Michael said he would look into it and give Chris a person to contact for more information.
Election of officers and members – Michael will appoint a board member next month. Michael will remain as President this year. Cary self-nominated to be Vice-president with the condition she would take over President next year. We still need a Secretary/Treasurer (next meeting). June motioned to accept the nominations and Dan seconded the motion; carried by unanimous consent.
Increasing the prices for meals – The meal donation price will increase to $4.00. June motioned to accept the increase; Cary seconded the motion; carried by unanimous consent (effective 1 September 2025).
Chris presented information about a program to obtain Foundation Grants. This program provides a better chance to get grants if applying from a foundation. We would apply for 4 grants rather than just one. Many of these requests would be from foundations outside of New Mexico as there is a better chance of receiving funds. We could get a grant for salaries.
Mayhill – The Board discussed options for reopening the Mayhill Center for lunches. A meeting of the Mayhill Board will be held in October. More information to follow.
