Minutes
January 14, 2013

Vodovoz and Peggy Watkins. Also present: Joanie Clausen, Council Liaison, and Jeanne Fackler,
Staff Liaison.

Call to Order: Sandler called the meeting to order at 6:47 p.m.
Agenda Changes or Additions: Two items were added to the agenda:
Request for funds from the GVCF
Pink Courage race
November 12 minutes: Erickson moved and Vodovoz seconded the motion to approve the
minutes from November 12. The motion passed unanimously.
Run the Valley: Run the Valley is set for Saturday, April 13. Two entries were submitted for the
t -shirt design contest. Members liked both entries. The winning design was submitted by Golden
Valley resident Jessi Brummer. Letters for funding will go out this week. Vodovoz will contact
agencies for volunteers. Sandy Werts, Volunteer Coordinator for the City of Golden Valley, will
publicize volunteer opportunities for the public. Fackler has been working with the
Communications Department on the brochure and posters. The city website, Active.com,
Zap.com and Raceberry Jam websites have been updated and registration has started. The
Public Works and Engineering Department have started working on the route.
Calendar Review: Fackler passed out the 2013 meeting and event dates.
Sandler has been in contact with the director of the TCGMC and Breck School. Possible dates are
April 19, May 31, June 1, June 21. Commission members felt the April 19 date did not give
members enough time to advertise. Sandler will pursue the later dates and ask about a
September date.
Other Business:
December Council Meeting: Sandler reported on the presentation to the City Council. Council
members thanked the Commission for their hard work and dedication.
Community Foundation: Sandler reported the GVCF sent 16,500 solicitation letters to residents
and businesses late December. So far, $17,000 has been generated from the letter for all
organizations listed on the letter.
Request for Funds: Sandler has sent a letter requesting $1,624 from the GVCF. This is the
amount designated to the GVHSF from the 2012 GVCF solicitation letter.
Pink Courage: Fackler reported that city staff is meeting with a representative from Pink
Courage to discuss a race proposal in June. The event is named "Run in the Valley". Commission
members felt the name is too close to "Run the Valley" and would like to discourage the group
from using the name. Fackler will be attending the meeting and will let the organizers know of
their concern.
Adjournment: Erickson moved to adjourn the meeting, Vodovoz seconded the motion. The
meeting was adjourned at 7:25 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Jeanne Fackler, GVHSF Staff Liaison
