one runs for a council position we ask that someone from the community step
forward and fill the position. There is no term limit and people are free to
run for a position and serve several years in a row if they like. |

vacant |
|
Dog Run Council Member*. Contact and welcome new members
. Make sure they know we're glad they joined, answer any questions, and try
to get them matched with the right volunteer job. We encourage all members to
volunteer in some capacity as the well-being of the run and the spirit of
shared responsibility depend on this. Attend Membership Day and other events
when possible to do this. Add or remove non-council jobs as necessary in
conjunction with Maintenance person. (Council positions must be added or
removed by the council.) Keep paperwork description of more complex jobs such
as disinfecting and raking/grating and make sure new team members get trained
using team leaders whenever possible. Give shed combination to volunteers as
needed. Change and redistribute the combination when necessary. Maintain this
volunteer list online for community reference. Periodically review job
descriptions with members to see if their job description needs to be updated
to be accurate. Make sure Maintenance person is aware of team leader changes.
Let the volunteers know how grateful we are for the work they are doing! |

Peter McGrane |
Auggie |
Dog Run Council Member*. Maintain accounting of all money received and spent by the
run. Make sure we stay on budget, keep Coordinator informed of the budget
status and let the Coordinator know if the run is in danger of going
over-budget. Approve reimbursements to volunteers for expenses covered by
budget. Liaise with Community Board 4 - make sure they have keys, forms,
etc.; pick up checks and membership forms. (The Key and Lock volunteer can
assist in making sure CB4 has keys but the system works best when our
official contact with CB4 is handled solely by the Treasurer and the
Coordinator. For this reason the Treasurer is the primary person responsible
for making sure CB4 has keys.) Send necessary member information to
Coordinator, email person, and volunteer recruiter. Send checks to HKNA.

Each person has a
section of the run to grate. The surface needs to be kept loose and also
should slope from the center of the run towards the sides. Surface that
migrates to the back of the run over time should be pulled forward. All of
this will help the drainage work properly and also cuts down on the dust. |
