2024 BGF Location:
Due to the current improvement projects in town, we will not be able to have the BGF in our normal spot-on Main Street. Several options were discussed but ultimately it was decided to approach the village about moving the BGF down a few blocks towards Grame’s Tire shop.  Amy was to reach out to the Village to for approval and MDOT to make sure there were no issues before officially announcing the new location.
Michelle motioned to approve the new location on Main Street and Brian 2nd it.
Yes – by all.
Hot Sauce:
With Amy selling the restaurant, it was decided to mark down the hot sauce to allow us to move the outdated product. We decided on $5 a bottle which would still give us a profit of roughly $1.00.
Amy motioned to approve the price deduction on the Hot Sauce and Michelle 2nd it.
Yes – by all.
Vote Time and Location of Meetings:
Amy suggested meeting at the Township Hall going forward to allow us more privacy to conduct ourÂ
meetings. The Hall is not available the 3rd Tuesday of each month, so we decided to stick with our normal 2nd Tuesday of each month and change the time to 6pm instead of 6:30pm. It was also decided that as of right now we will meet once a month until we get things rolling and then we can move it back to meeting either quarterly or have virtual meetings. Â
Michelle motioned to approve the new location and time for our meetings and Amy 2nd it. Yes – by all.
Vote in Members and Terms:
President – Amy Segerdahl (Term 2yrs.)
Treasurer – Chelsea Proffitt (Term 1yr.)
Secretary – Michelle Drake (Term 1yr.)
Two more Committee Members – Brian New and Amberly (Term 3yrs.)
Amy motioned to approve the new Members and Terms and Michelle 2nd it. Yes – by all.
Resolution for Checking Account:
Since Mike is no longer on the committee and Chelsea is taking over as Treasurer, we need to vote to have him removed from the checking account and have Chelsea added. Â
Amy motioned to approve the removal of Mike from the bank account and having Chelsea added and Michelle 2nd it. Yes – by all.
Car Show: Brian’s treasury report shows that for the BGF of 2022 he roughly spent $150 in supplies and then start the new year with a balance of $216. This is separate from the BGF funds and solely for the purpose of sustaining the car show and its success each year. Â
In 2023 the car show had $204.55 in expenses and ended the year with a balance of $216.55 after collecting donations. The number of participants has increased since 2021 from 20-36-55.
Misc Items: It was discussed and agreed to start publishing our minutes and annual report in the newspaper for transparency and accountability. It is also hoped that by doing so we will get more volunteers and support from the community to help with the BGF for years to come.
Jessica agreed to take on the Beer Tent and Bands this next year and Tom Puleo has agreed to come back to help with the fishing contest. Â
At this time, we are not sure if we will be having the parade in 2024 due to construction. Â
Meeting was adjourned at 7:29pm.
Next Meeting is scheduled for January 9, 2024, at 6pm at the Marcellus Township Hall.
