RTC General Meeting
March 20, 2017 --- Meeting Minutes

President - Ron Wyman

• Previous board meeting minutes approved
• Open Tennis guidelines --- club president Ron Wyman distributed a handout to attendees outlining the new interpretation of Open Tennis guidelines.   Although there were a lot of questions about who had priority in different situations, the new guidelines were met with a positive reaction.

Vice President - Bernie Wolf

• GRF has repaired screens and may have to replace a couple later on.   It was pointed out that a couple of screens are still loose on courts 2 and 6.   Ron Wyman will call GRF to take care of it.   Also, court 4's net needs repairs.   The cracks that have appeared on some courts will be evaluated after the soil has dried out. At this time there is no safety issue.

Secretary - Les Hoskyns (presented by Randy Kuhl)

• Reiteration of RTC's online information security policy was emphasized.   Exceptions are made on case-by-case basis.
