About
Organizational management - DBWP hired a new contractor to run the Saint Luke's grant. We contracted with Marcia Hood of See You at the Top, an organization that gets urban students outside and experiencing new activities. Andrew Klooster was not only fully integrated into the organization at full time, but was promoted from an administrator to a coordinator. His salary was increased from 12.50 to 15/hr. Andrew is growing in confidence, initiative and productivity. He works hard, accepts new challenges and shows individual initiative. Laura, Curt and I interviewed four potential bookkeepers and contracted with Michelle Gregorczyk. One of the goals of the 2018 NEORSD grant was to increase the number of DBWP volunteers and ways for them to serve the organization. Volunteers gave 2400 hours of time and service - a nearly 20% increase over last year and a value of 57,936. The Friends of Lower Lake was created. Volunteers led weekly hikes for three months, contributing to our Saint Luke's grant. Laura Gooch, Curt Witchey and I evaluated past spending and cost increases. This laid the foundation of a request for additional operational support from each of the cities. The three watershed cities (Cleveland, Cleveland Heights and Shaker Heights) supported their annual support increase to 25k a year. Other organizational tasks accomplished throughout the year included, acquainting Councilman Griffin to the board, attending NCSL and Cleveland Cultural Gardens board meetings, co-managing the Central Lake Erie Basin Collaborative, printing and mailing the annual appeal, presenting the annual meeting (86 attendees).
