sheets. This practice is
allowed by national Club policy. Our Chapter's Safety Committee has granted
Griffith Park Hikes a waiver of the Chapter's sweep and sign-in rules. A couple
of years ago, there were complaints against Griffith Park Hikes, and this
exception was revoked. But it was reinstated a few months later. March Meeting: At the Council meeting in March, we heard that the chapter banquet was "wonderful," that the food was "good," but that the sound system had problems. Our Council Chair, Robin Ives, passed out supplemental information on sales tax being mailed to section and group treasurers. Happily, Alan Coles already has the HPS out in front in exemplary compliance with the new state sales tax rules. |

practices on HPS hikes. We're supposed to sign in at the trailhead, not at the
carpool point. At an HPS meeting, someone asked what we should do when we're
bagging several peaks, driving from trailhead to trailhead. I received no
official answer. We took up the role of the Council in Chapter affairs. Bob Marshall observed that the Conservation Committee acts as the focal point for external affairs. He suggested that the Council could become a similar focal point for internal affairs if we had more responsibility. For example, the Safety Committee could be a committee of the Council rather than reporting directly to the Executive Committee. There was not much support or opposition to this plan. I guess we're going to think some more on it. |
| Here are reports on the last two
monthly Council meetings. (The Council has a representative from each group,
section, task force, and committee. Of the 45 or so eligible, about 15 show up
each month.) February meeting Most of the time was spent on safety concerns about the Griffith Park hikes. We had invited Ron Jones, who is not only our HPS chair, but also serves on the Chapter's Safety Administration Committee. Many council members expressed concern about the Griffith Park hikes not having assistant leaders and not having sign-in |
