[edit] Community Response Group
In a final review of our membership 7 members will meet the Provincial Status. 5 are local and 2 are from Lethbridge. By default the remaining members will be moved to the Community Response Group.
After a pros and cons discussion it was decided to do a mail out to this Community Response Group with a signed application to complete their Criminal Records check along with a covering letter advising these members that this step is still missing to meet Provincial requirements if they are interested in being a part of the formal SAR group, it will also include the date of Feb 28th, 2017 for ICS 100 workshop and the web address to do the course which is 3 hours in length.
John and Susanna will draft the letters. Susanna will mail them.
[edit] Administrator's Report
Susanna reported that
"I met with the new account manager at the ATB. First to advise them that, Diann Piwek's card # is no longer required and so her a/c # was deleted from PCSAR a/c.
Then I discussed the option of leaving the annual fee at $35.00/year not the $65.00 that they charge businesses for having their business credit card. Dianne (ATB) said she would take it to the branch manager and get back to me. Lastly we discussed PCSAR's $1000.00 GIC security required by ATB to have a credit card. This GIC was set up to mature into our current bank account then upon maturing a new GIC was created triggering a service fee for this transaction. I had this process changed. This GIC is now locked in place and upon maturing it will automatically roll over and the interest will be transferred into our current account.
Shell has requested our bank information for electronic deposit, because moving forward they will not be mailing out cheques for the grants they approve. (Humorously we had just received Shell's cheque in the mail for our last grant application).
Thank you notes were sent out to the Ladies Livingston Social Club and Val Jankunis along with the requested Tax Receipt, for the donations we have just received. Val advised us that her donation will be matched by Home Depot.
Susanna reported problems with Phone.com during the registration of students for the recently hosted SAR course. She will go back and find the dates and contact the company.

Susanna's letter of Resignation as Administrator was circulated to the board for review. After some discussion she said she would stay on after February 28 if we had still not found my replacement. She is willing to help with the training of my replacement.

We have just received another Anonyms Donation from the TD Private Giving Foundation in the amount of $3,373.01.
[edit] SAR Basics Financial
Susanna reports:
"I am still missing invoices from the instructors who taught at our SAR Basic course. This is due to the fact that they were not advised of the hourly rate we are willing to pay. Igor and I were able to discuss the budget that I completed prior to the course being started. At this point Igor approved this budget as it stood. This states a rate of $18.50/hr for all certified instructors. I can now email the instructors with this rate so they can submit their invoices to me. It was noted that this approval needs to be done prior to these grant courses are run."
