At the April 6 meeting of The Mountaineers Board of Trustees, the group voted on two important issues facing the club. On the agenda were the approval of a lease with the City of Seattle for the Building 67 property at Magnuson Park, and the sale of The Mountaineers Building.
The board voted 13 to 7 in favor of approving the lease with the City of Seattle. In a separate motion, the board then approved the sale of the building by a vote of 16 to 4. These votes came one year after the Building Advisory Committee submitted their recommendations to the board.
Prior to the votes on the building issues, the board voted to fill three empty positions. Bill Deters, the President-Elect, was elected to the position of President. This position was vacated the prior week by Jim Burke, who resigned. The position of President-Elect will be filled at a later date.
The remaining two trustee positions were left vacant when Jim Burke and Bill Deters were elected to the positions of President and President-Elect, respectively. Four names were put forward to fill the vacancies, and after a vote, the two positions went to Mona West and Eric Linxweiler.
