Jersey Proposal: Hersch proposed to get members to wear their SBC jersey at Event Rides have a give-away item to all members that wear their Salem Bicycle Club jersey at the Club's Event Rides this year. Budget $200 or less for the item. Salem Hosptial Health Fair - Salem Convention Center: Hersch asked if the SBC was interested in having a booth at this event on May 11. This was discussed. The issue was whether there was a cost. It was agreed that in the past these events may not be practicable for the SBC, especially if there is cost. Hersch confirmed after the meeting that there is a cost for the Convention. So based on the discussion this event will not be pursued. Veteran Parade 7/4/13: The organizer Ted Acker did not show. Willamette University Cycling Team: Todd Allen a grad student and a member of the cycling team gave a background on the team and their upcoming events. In March they will be sponsoring College Cycling event in the Salem area. There will be Road and Time Trails in the St Paul area and Criterium races in the Pringle Neighborhood. The team does need housing for racers for the weekend. The Team will be coming back to SBC for donations in the future. Monster Cookie: Larry is starting the process of getting ready for the Cookie. He has put in the applications to the City and Marion County. The Website is up for application. The $1 per ride will go to youth cycling activities.

March 12, 2013 Present: D. Philbrick, P. Jeffers, J. Pink, L. Miles, H. Sangster, A. Tanner, B. Louma, K. Owen, L. Morriss Treasurer's Report
Hersch received $67.87 for gift envelops and FedEx costs for the jersey samples. Tire Tools: Hersch proposed that since we had a number of the 10/500 tire tools left that we could sell at cost to interested members. Our next General Meeting will be a tire repair class, so we could sell them there and put a note in Spokes. Our cost is $5. Bob asked that we give a few of them to the Flow Riders. The Board approved selling them to members and giving some to the Flow Riders and putting some in our Event Ride Tool Kits. Monster Cookie Update: Larry indicated that all the permits are in. Registration has started and everything looks A ok at this point. Ride Committee Issue: At last month's general meeting Jim Ross mentioned that he had received an e-mail from a person that was training with a group for the Tour de Cure and wanted to use/modified our regular rides for their training. None of the group are SBC members. After a discussion, Larry will let the person know that our ride schedule is booked way into the future and maps of the ride are now published online. They are invited to use our maps, join us on our rides, especially the high wheeler rides, and of course join the SBC. This discussion led to a discussion of riders showing up for a ride, signing in but deciding to ride in a different direction than the mapped ride, yet claiming the mileage. Because of insurance coverage, group safety and fairness for mileage accumulation, all riders should do the ride route, or alert the ride leader that their mileage is different. It was suggested that the Rides Committee try to mix-up the ride a little with shorter flatter ones in the winter and more challenging in summer. Larry will write an article in SPOKES to address this issue. Spokes Editor: Larry is still looking for a co-editor for Spokes to help Alex. The March Spokes should be out soon. Larry has several members that have volunteered be members of an updated Spokes Editorial Board. He will be arranging a meeting soon. Next Board meeting is April 9, 2013. General Meeting Programs

April 2013 Board meeting only 3 members attended so there was no quorum. Flow Riders received 6 of the Tire tools. Jackie L. gave an update of the budget and provided a budget report up through March 30th Salem-Keizer Education Foundation Bike/Ped Program: Kiki S. gave a report on her program at Hallman Elementary School and the Northgate neighborhood. The program is an ODOT Safe Route to Schools grant to focus at Hallman/Northgate, because of traffic issues and past accidents near this neighborhood designed school. Kiki will be teaching bike and walking safety to K-5 and adults in the neighborhood. She has received support from the Northgate Neighborhood Association for the program. The program will run through September. She will have several focused events with the first one being a Bike Skills Fair on June 1. She needs any SBC members willing to volunteer for this or any of her events to contact her at javakik@yahoo.com Kiki submitted a donation request for $750 to help with cost of food, lights and helmets. ODOT has been helpful in the funding, but has limited the purchase of bikes for the program to only $150. This amount restricts her form bike shop quality bikes. SBC Picnic: Preslee indicated that it was time to schedule the SBC picnic. It was suggested that August 17 be the date. The city fee is $175. Preslee will work with the City to reserve the spot at Minot-Brown. He will get more detail back to the Board. Hank Bersani Bike Rack - WOU: Katie H. from WOU came to ask SBC for a donation to complete a creative art bike rack for Hank. The design spells out his name "Hank" into a bike rack. They have being doing fund raising for some time and would like to install it soon. The Board fully agreed to donate $500 to complete the project. Plans are to have a dedication on June 3 at 3 pm. at WOU. More details to come. Monster Cookie: Larry indicated that Monster Cookie was a success, but he did received comments about bicycling etiquette issues. For next year he would like to form a 4 person committee to work the MC and maybe come up with improvements. Hersch and David P. volunteered and Larry will try to get a general member to also join the committee. The Monster $1 per rider for bicycle education was discussed as to whom it should go to. David P. suggested the 1885 riders be rounded up to 2000 and split the monies between the Boy & Girls and the SKEF- Hallman project. John P voiced a concern over the Hallman project buying cheap bikes, this was seconded by David. The Hallman should buy bike shop quality bikes and SBC should give enough that SKEF-Hallman can buy the better bikes they need. The Board agreed fully (Hersch abstained from the vote) that $1300 should be given to SKEF- Hallman Program and $1000 to Boys & Girls Club. Hallie Ford Museum Visit: Since the visit to the museum was so well liked and we got to go behind the scene, Hersch recommended that the SBC give a donation. The cost for tour is generally $10, and we really got more behind the scenes insight and got a great lecture from the Director. Since there were about 18 there, it was suggested and agreed to fully by the Board to donate $200 to the Museum. Bike Club Presidents Meeting: Larry met with the Bike Club Presidents from Santiam, GEAR, and Mid-Valley about common club issues and membership incentives. One idea that came up was giving a deserving member(s) a free pass to each of the mid valley clubs' major event rides. Larry will be discussing this more and may form a work group to look at this.

The Boys & Girls Club requested $3500 via a SBC request form to continue the SBC funding this year for the Flow Riders. The SBC has helped fund them for last several years and the amount requested is the same as in the past. The Flow Riders have already received $1000 as part of the Monster Cookie donation. BGC has expanded bike safety education to more kids of all ages at all of their locations this summer. They have obtained a trailer to move the old BTA bikes to the different BGC sites for kids to use as part of the bike safety training. The Flow Riders is the only ongoing youth cycling program in the Salem-Keizer area. The program is geared for pre-teen to teens. Hesch moved that the SBC continue this basic support.

Stu Smith & Annual Picnic: The SBC Annual Picnic is scheduled for August 17, 2013, at 3:00 pm at Minto - Brown. Stu Smith a long time SBC member and volunteer died this last week and it was suggested that we cancel the Picnic because Stu's funeral was at the same time as the Picnic. Since the advertising had already gone out and many new members and potential members had been invited, it was decided by the Board that Picnic should continue. I was recommended that SBC honor Stu at the Monster Cookie this next year, since this was one of his favorite rides and where he helped in the early years. Hersch will help with this for the Cookie. Bersani Bike Rack: Hank Bersani's bike rack at WOU has not yet been installed but it should be soon. The rack itself has been completed.

Annual Picnic: The Picnic was on August 17, 2013, at 3:00 pm at Minto - Brown. There was a smaller turnout- about 30 people. Preslee felt that the picnic area was not the cleanest and the yellow jackets were a big problem. It was suggested that we try another park for next year's picnic - either in Salem or Keizer. John suggested Claggett Park. Hersch will check into this one. Preslee will be checking for other possibilities. Bersani Rack: Hank Bersani's Bike Rack at WOU will be installed and dedicated on Oct 9 at 4pm by the Education Building.

Jim and Jakey will be retiring after years of great service. Anyone interested should let Larry know. October 8, 2013 Present: P. Jeffers, L. Miles, H. Sangster, B. Luoma, K. Owen, D. Philbrick, L. Morriss Treasurer's Report
Preslee received $124 for the purchase of pizza for the Peach Stuffing event. Boys & Girl Club Update: Eric Cardella present what is going on with BGC bike safety program and the Flow Riders. The bike safety has ended for this season. The program was held at all of their sites and included bike safety & skills in a (repeating) week long program. Eric would like to start it again during the fall/winter, but the summer instruction is back in college. He thinks that if he can do the outreach, and possible hire a Teen Outreach person, they could do 4-5 hours per week with a bike instructor for this program. Eric will head the Flow Riders for now. He wants to get the outreach going again since the program numbers have declined since Theresa left. Again he feels that with outreach he can get this program going, too. He thanked the SBC for all of its past and current support. Bersani Bike Rack: Hank Bersani's Bike Rack at WOU will be installed and dedicated on Oct 9 at 4pm by the Education Building. A ride from Bersani's house to the campus is planned for 3:15. Peach Update: David gave an update of the final Peach finances. With the poor weather the turnout was low and the SBC incurred a loss on the ride of about $4000. Most of the Costco food items were returnable, but we ordered too many T-shirts. The number of T-shirts appears to be based on the previous years' numbers. This is an area for next year we need to reevaluate. It was recommended that like the Cookie, a Peach Committee should be formed to do the evaluation and planning for next year. The Board agreed to this. Volunteer & 10/500 Items: Hersch presented information on 10/500 proposed item - A saddle cover with the SBC logo on it. The cost is $1.20 plus $50 set-up for 300. Any amount we do not use this year the Membership Chair can use for new member items. Preslee is now going to be using the 10/500 jersey pockets from 2010 for new members. Hersch showed the ¼ zip sweatshirt that will have the SBC logo on the chest. The cost is $30 with a $50 set-up fee. The order would be for 36. The Board approved ordering the items. Hersch will convene the Road Animal Committee to see who has earned a Road Animal trophy. Elections/Ride Committee: There will be a possibility of 3 board positions open for next year. All members should think about serving on the Board or think about nominating some for the Board. If interested contact any Board member. Nominations for the Board will be at the October 22 General Meeting. Joanne Heilinger is taking over the lead on the Rides Committee. Jim and Jakey will be retiring after years of great service. November 12, 2013 Present: P. Jeffers, L. Miles, H. Sangster, B. Luoma, K. Owen, L. Morriss, J. Pink, Fritz Ulrich Treasurer's Report
Hersch turned in $10 on sales of the tire tools. It was noted that all of the Peach expenses have been paid. The SBC did lose money on the Peach this year. Salem Bicycle Lockers: Fritz Ulrich had a question at the October General Meeting about whether the City of Salem had bicycle lockers. Fritz did some research and found out that the City has about 38 of them located in the core area. The City provided him a map of the locations of the bicycle lockers. One can rent them on a monthly basis. Fritz did check with the local bike shop s on whether they knew about the lockers and if they had information on them in their stories. None of them had information on them and had limited knowledge about the lockers. Fritz felt that information about these lockers should get out to the public and SBC members. The Board agreed. Fritz will be writing an article on his findings for SPOKES. Hersch will see if the Judith Johnduff of the City of Salem, who is in charge of the lockers, can come to a Board and/or General Meeting to talk about the lockers Volunteer/10/500/Road Animal: Hersch indicated that orders had been placed for the saddle covers and the ¼ zip sweatshirts. The sweatshirt order would be for 36 mostly in larger sizes, but we can get smaller if needed. Hersch got preliminary information on those that might earn the Road Animal. Looks like about 15. Hersch will be convening the Road Animal Committee to see who has earned a Road Animal trophy. Elections: There are 5 open positions on the Boards. The nominations are: Preslee Jeffers, Member at Large Incumbent; Bob Luoma, Member at Large Incumbent; Hersch Sangster, Board Secretary Incumbent; Winnie Sangirardi, Member at Large; Chris Hoy, Member at Large; Carolyn Foland, Member at Large; and Chuck Young, Member at Large Annual Banquet: Larry indicated that the Banquet will be on January 26 at Willamette University.

December 10, 2013 Present: D. Philbrick, P. Jeffers, D. Parrow, L. Miles, H. Sangster, B. Luoma, K. Owen, L. Morriss, J. Pink, C. Hoy, Judith Johnduff. Treasurer's Report
Salem Bicycle Lockers: Judith Johnduff, Associate Transportation Planner from the City of Salem came to the Board meeting to talk about the bike lockers that the City of Salem has in the core area and out at the Park and Ride on Market Street There are about 36 lockers that can be rented for $18 for 3 months or $30 for six months. To sign up for one, you need to contact Salem Public Works. Lockers have been well used and there is a waiting list for some. Judith gave us an update on Salem projects that could affect bicyclists. The City is the process of improvements with bike lanes on Eola, Skyline, and Brown to Sunny view. There is a plan for improving the Union/Commercial intersection to help with the bike/pedestrian bridge traffic. There is plan for improvement of the Brush College and Doaks Ferry. The Hyacinth and Hawthorne project is done. Marion County is planning Auburn and Hayesville improvements. The Minto-Brown Bridge may have ground broken this next summer. Judith informed us of the new rules for Skateboarders in Salem. They can skateboard in the bike lane, but must follow the flow of traffic. Judith is planning on applying next year for the LAB bicycle friendly status. The SBC is willing to help her in the process next year. Website and Facebook: Doug gave us an update on some needed updates to the website. Doug was authorized to spend up $750 for the improvements. Doug suggested that the Board at least should discuss the pros/cons of having the membership list being on website. Doug showed us an article he plans on having in SPOKES about members and other cyclists being able to receive information on club event and updates via the Club Facebook page or Twitter Doug provided a list of the duties that he has been doing for the Club. Some he is looking to download to others. Doug will be doing the January/February issue of Spoke and then Larry will be taking over SPOKES. Larry will also be taking over SPOKES ad promotions. The Banquet slides/presentations Larry, Hersch, David and Preslee will work on for this year. Volunteer/10/500 Road Animal: Hersch showed the saddle cover for 10/500.The SBC sweatshirts have been ordered for the volunteers The plaque should read: Hersch has a preliminary list of Road Animals so he will get them to Salem Trophy on it, and if there are more that make 2500 mile by December 31, he will add them to the order. Hersch will do the Battered Saddle - Dan Rice Award for the top mileage person. SBC Jerseys: Hersch did some checking with Voler on SBC jerseys. The 5 jersey minimum we thought we had only lasted 30 days after our February order. Now there is a 15 item minimum the SBC must meet. However they now include a long sleeve and a jacket with the SBC design. These two items cost a little more than the short sleeve, but can be included in the 15-item minimum, so more members might order an item even if they already had a short sleeve jersey. Hersch will get a note into SPOKES and order the sizing packet to have at the Banquet for members. Orders will have to be in by February 10 to have by April. Annual Banquet: Larry indicated that the Banquet will be on January 26 at Willamette University. The Board agreed that the format from last year was good. Tim Sinatra from the B&G Club will be the speaker. The menu will be lasagna with gluten free option The Board approved increasing the cost to $17 and half for children under 12. Preslee, David, Larry and Hersch will meet more to plan the Banquet. |
