Community Structure Committee
Held on October 8, 2007. Present: Carlene Carney, Nancy Corbin, Jim Craft, Melody Eckroth, Harry Eder, Joanne O’Dwyer, Debby Powell, Richard Pullman, Judy Turner, Scott Whealy, Stephaney Williamson
We got back copies of the Articles of Incorporation for “Upriver Community United, Inc.” that were stamped by the Secretary of State of Idaho. The Benewah County commissioners want us to have an entity to work with before they allow Upriver to repair, maintain, and manage the CAF community building in Fernwood.
There are new community buildings in Kamiah and Deary, we can visit to get ideas. Some ideas for our new building; seniors, recreation, library, youth, theatre, kitchen, coffee shop. Harry Eder is willing to donate one or two acres for a new community center, located about 100 yards past Crystal Creek rd on the north side of the Hiway. It could be used for a possible trade with someone in town.
The county currently pays $3,400 yr for the existing CAF building. The kitchen is not up to code and cannot be used by the public. We need lots of base trim and electrical outlet covers to finish the building. Both bathrooms need to be completely remodeled with additional toilets. Horizons grant money cannot be used for materials to refurbish the CAF building. Debby will determine if the county has ownership of the CAF building. Scott and Stephaney will inspect the CAF building to look at what needs done.
Stephaney Williamson and Candy Crocker will create some draft bylaws for us to review next meeting. We will hold officer elections for Upriver Community United at the next meeting.
Jim Craft wants to build a gazebo for the community, somewhere.
The next committee meeting will be on Wednesday, October 24 at 7pm at the Senior Center.
