President’s Report
A major discussion was held concerning how to increase participation in Fort Clark Springs Community Council. Continuing topics: changing the date, time, and location for future meetings.  

Organization reports
Historical Society.   Mary Ellen Miner cancelled her scheduled presentation due to the fact that many people will be attending the auction at Alamo Village.  In Feb. she will do a presentation on her trip to Australia. The tentative location is NCO Club. 
 
Recycling Committee.  There is still a need for volunteers.  40 gaylords fill a truck. Please do not give us any electronics. Cost of cardboard has gone down due to political issues.  A thank you was mentioned that maintenance does a great job banding. Recycling the clear bottles has proven to be a success. 
 
Recreation Committee.  Jim Tischler stated that there will be a Chili cook-off held at the RV Pavilion Feb. 5.  Sign-up sheets are available at various locations on the Fort. You may sign up or call the numbers listed on the sheet.  
 
Other Business 
Lisa gave a detailed report as to why we will not pursue having bingo. Our equipment was old, outdated, and we no longer have it.  To comply with Texas laws, we would have to purchase new equipment for about $7,000.00, and spend an exceptional amount of time to fill out applications to be in compliance with all the Texas laws.  It was agreed that we will not pursue this. 
 
We will host “Meet the Candidates” forum at the Post Theater on Feb. 3, 2018 immediately following our meeting. The format will be as follows. Each candidate will give an opening statement, and then questions submitted from the audience will be picked out of a basket instead of having audience members stand in line to ask questions.  It will be a formal presentation monitored by a Community Council representative, and will end by noon. 
 
After officers were elected, the newly elected were sworn in by Chuck Fields. Lisa took over the meeting.

​Further discussion was centered around “Meet the Candidates” forum.  We will hold our February meeting convening at 9:00 followed by the forum. The forum must end by noon. A lengthy discussion followed as to what will be the protocol. 
Forms will be placed in a container and audience may pick up a form, write the question and submit it. Only questions pertinent to a candidate’s qualifications will be allowed.  Chuck and Judi will screen each question to assure that it is an appropriate question.  3 minutes for each candidate’s opening statement. 3 minutes for each candidate’s reply.  
Adjournment    There being no further business, meeting was adjourned at 11:05 am by the president. 

Respectfully submitted,
 
 
Kathleen Warm
Secretary.
