The meeting was called to order at 5:01 at Porsche SLO.

Our Board:

Attending were Andy Winterbottom, Ron Green, Chuck Jennings, Bob Kitamura, Bob Bruington, Joe Shubitowski, Carol Walker, Bill Chadwick, Gil Igleheart, Joe Kuntze, Jeff Bartel, Scott Burns and Mark Schilling. Absent was Sanja Brewer.

President: Joe welcomed everyone and said that the last event at Longbranch was a big success and the dealership was happy with the turnout. He attended the President’s meeting, where they announced they need a Zone 8 Treasurer. Also, he wants to think of events to invite Lori De Cristo to attend. There was a discussion about dealers and dealers relations. We decided to have a dealer liaison, which Gil volunteered for. There will be no Zone 8 autocross or concours events. Subsidies were discussed and each region was encouraged to hold two events with other regions annually. Non-driving events are automatically covered by insurance. There was some discussion about drones. And, it was announced that Alfred Abken was awarded enthusiast of the year for Zone 8. Congratulations, Alfred!!!

Vice President: Bob Bruington said the committee met to review the bylaws and the changes should be complete by the next board meeting. Then, they get published in the Coastalaire and on to the membership. The description of each board member has been changed.

Secretary: Carol sent the minutes by email. Joe Kuntze moved to accept the minutes. Bill Chadwick seconded and all approved.

Treasurer: Bill Chadwick confirmed we have a tax preparer now. Our bank balance was $37,597 as of January 1 and today it is $33,607. Buttonwillow deposit has been paid for. There were some lunches at Longbranch not accounted for. Bill and Joe went to the bank to transfer the signatures on the minutes for them. Bill sent a spreadsheet for advertising and sponsorship to board members to show who is advertising in our Coastalaire. Joe Kuntze moved to approve the report, Gil seconded, and all approved.

Membership: Joe Shubitowski reported for Sanja there are five new members, 1 transfer in, zero transfers out, 4 non-renewals, for a total of 427 primary members, 284 affiliates, to total 711 members. Nationally, for 2022, there are over 150,000 members which represents a 6% growth last year.

Activities: Gil Igleheart wants to acknowledge our past relationship with Alfano Motors with a plaque and/or article in the Coastalaire, as well as give a dinner certificate to Jonathan. Everyone agreed. Healdsburg is all set up for April 10-14, with a rate of $185/night at the hotel, which has waived the parking fee and destination fee. He will look into places to host Cars & Coffee during the midweek. Bob Bruington brought up La Pa- lapa in Baywood. Joe Kuntze suggested Cass Winery for pizza and wine when it gets warmer or a catered event at Sculpterra. Gil would like to figure out how to have waivers signed online when registering for events. The Porsche dealership want to do an event there, possibly begin and end there. February 25 is the drive and lunch to San Simeon Beach Bar & Grill. There is no venue for a Valentine’s event and February 28 we are scheduled to drive to the Canepa showroom.

Safety: Jeff Bartel reports he is up to speed on the safety job thanks to several other members who have helped him.

Driving:

Autocross: Chuck Jennings thanked Bob Bruington for getting information on resurfacing the autocross track. The next step is to present the bid to the airport. He will call the manager of the airport and explain the process to him. The canopy on the pop-up will be replaced to reflect the new sponsors. Registration for the autocross school will be open in March on MSR. It will be the same format as last year. We need 12-15 instructors and $3850 needs to be sent to the airport for 7 days of rental for the autocross track.

Driver's Education: Bob Bruington says the registration for Buttonwillow is open. Laguna Seca registration opens March 1. Santa Barbara Porsche is still one of the sponsors. Bob has measured the autocross track and given those figures to three companies for bids. He is waiting for new prices as the sealant cost has gone down, but it will still be in the range of $15,000.

Newsletter: Bob Kitamura reported that the newsletter contest is coming up.

Website: Scott Burns had a meeting with Joe Shubitowski to put together the scope of information on the web page. He feels that what you input and how/where it appears is important.

Director at Large: Ron Green was assigned to review the RPM (Regional Procedures Manual) and it is in the system now by the date PCA wanted. Late March, it will be back to Ron and he will present it to the board.

Old Business: Joe Kuntze talked about the 356 Registry and profits from their Holiday event. The profit is their tax liability and any money to us will come after they settle their taxes.

New Business: None

The next meeting will be March 1 at Porsche SLO. The meeting was adjourned at 7:10 pm.
