   3. Potential board member Mike O’Brien (former School Board member, lawyer at Alaska Legal Services, former parent of Sarah’s student)- Sarah reached out and hasn’t heard back. Will try again. Continue to put on next meeting’s agenda.
6. Unfinished Business
   1. Planning Meeting for Core Values, Strategic Plan, and Business plan- Propose Jim Williams meet with EDs Marylee and Alnise and any interested board members and bring the results to be approved by board before June (ED transition date). Jim says this meeting should include: Board, EDs, Critical Staff, volunteers, funders, community stakeholders (include FPD detective division). We will try to schedule this in May over the course of a few 3-hour work sessions (Jim says it’s often useful to do this over the course of “a month of Wednesdays”). Re-visit this plan at our next meeting.
   2. Expanding Clearwater Counseling as a revenue stream- We have spent a lot of time looking for new counselors, and/or finding someone who turned out to not be a good fit. The only way to grow our revenue stream through CC, would be to bring on another counselor, who would only be able to use Jamie’s office before 4pm. Other than that, we would need to expand our space in order to bring on more counselors who could bring in more revenue. Alnise will ask Sarah to advertise at Ft. Wainwright for a part-time counseling position.

   1. Drake Street And YDHP Update

   2. Review and approve 2020 Budget, provisionally (MSP Dave, Jim)
   3. Dave’s new salary- We will pay Dave 50% of revenue generated. We will revisit this amount in 3 months – this is a provisional approval from the board with the plan to adjust as necessary. (MSP Joyce, Jim)    
   4. Marylee & Alnise on employee salary schedule and proposed shift in pay (with potential increases) 
9. Committee reports as necessary:
   1. Fundraiser Update: Carhartts & Pearls date is shifting to May 1st or 2nd (no longer April)
   2. Building Committee: moving forward with replacing nosing on stairs in the shelter. Switching Clearwater door so it’s a code rather than a key. Dave says buy the highest quality version you can find (spare no expense- it will be worth it). Also- look into the technology using smartphones (might also include security software).
   3. Sunshine Committee: April is volunteer appreciation month! Please add to next month’s agenda a time to sign up to visit The Door during a volunteer’s shift, and bring them a treat sometime during the month of April. 
10. Next meeting: Wednesday, March 25th, 2020 5-7pm

Sarah Finnell, FYA Board Secretary
