our budget closely. Even though we had a good

task force to update chapter by-laws. Vic appointed
Arnie Fischer to lead that task force. The task
force will be appointed later as Arnie wants to

Wayne Smith, Edd Soenke, Arnie Fischer, Steve Conrath,
Mark Schmidt, Mike Andresen and Steve Richardson. Also

Minutes: Minutes of the previous

by Wayne Smith and seconded by Steve Conrath.
Officer’s Reports:
President: Steve Watrous-Election results
are Vic Weiland, President, Wayne Smith, President Elect,
Mike Warner, Vice President Industry and Steve Richardson,
Secretary.
Treasurer’s Report: Mark Schmidt
did not get the March statement yet as it comes on today
or tomorrow. There are no major changes and he will
have a report ready for the next newsletter.
President Elect: Vic Weiland-Vic is
planning to attend the President Elect workshop in Kansas
City and he will also attend the CSI Construct 2010
in Philadelphia.
Vice President Industry-Steve Conrath-Will
be attending the Regional Conference in Green Bay this
summer.
Past Institute President:
Edd Soenke-The national show numbers are about
the same as last year which is good news given the economy.
Chair Reports:
Awards-Brent Soderstrum -Not
present but Brent has scheduled an awards meeting at
Noah’s Ark on Wednesday, 11:45 a.m.
Chapter Website-Mark Schmidt-He needs any updates by
4/12
Past President-Arnie Fischer likes the ideas of the
Code Seminar prior to this year’s Golf Outing.
Planning-Steve Watrous-We are going back to Beaver Creek
for the golf outing. We will have a Fire Code seminar
prior to the golf outing. More to come in Old Business.
Programs and Tours-Edd reported the tour of the Des
Moines operation of Iowa Precast is set for April 13.
There will be a CEU program for that tour and lunch
and he hopes we have good attendance.
Public Relations-Kim Best-We have to figure out a new
award to give out since we can no longer give Hogan
the “thanks for going away award”.
Newsletter-Wayne Smith-please get any items in soon.
Anyone wanting to advertise still has the chance to
do so. Contact Steve Richardson or Wayne Smith.
Region Director-Arnie Fischer- The Bylaws vote has taken
place but Sheldon Wolfe has raised some issues regarding
the Region Allocation Program Oversight Committee and
how CSI money is spent in the various Regions. It is
basically a question of Lean and Mean as far as CSI
governance is concerned while yet maintaining oversight
on CSI money spent in the Regions.
Also raised was the issue of corporate memberships in
CSI.
As a Board if either issue comes up at the National
Convention, we want to see how the committees would
be structured and charged and we would consider corporate
memberships if also handled properly.
USGBC Report-Michael Andresen -Michael introduced Alejandra
Feliciano from Smith Metzger who is the program chair
for the local USGBC chapter. Alejandra suggested CSI
and USGBC might find ways to partner. Steve Watrous
suggested a joint meeting sometime this next year. Both
groups will see if that will work out. USGBC is open
to getting invitations from programs from all groups
and Alejandra suggested we send information to her regarding
out Code Seminar. Michael also suggested we contact
the Department of Economic Development concerning their
green programs.
Old Business
The 2010 Pre Golf Outing Code Seminar: David Dodge is
on for that day and his program will cover the IBC 2009
Code. Specifically his topics will be Understanding
Chapter 7, Understanding Chapter 10 and Understanding
the IBC 2009. The last one will cover most everything
other than Chapters 7 & 10.
He will set up and be ready
to go at 9:00 A.M.. His program will be over by noon
and there will be 3 hours of AIA CEU credit given. Discussion
on whether it will be McKeon Door Company offering the
credit or Central Iowa CSI offering the credit took
place. It will depend on whether McKeon has the AIA
approval for all the programs by then. Steve Richardson
was pretty sure that would be the case but our local
Chapter could offer the credit if needed.
The program flyers will go out to CSI Members, architectural
firms, Building official, fire code officials and interested
contractors.
The program is from 9-Noon, May 18th at the Beaver Run
golf course clubhouse, lower level. Cost is $40 for
members and $50 for non-members and that includes lunch.
More information on the particulars of the golf outing
will be forthcoming.

Minutes: Minutes of the previous meeting
were approved as published in the previous newsletter
on a motion made by Wayne Smith and seconded by Steve

Officers Reports:
President: Steve
Watrous wished everyone a Happy New Year. He also thanked
Kim Best of the Sheet Metal Contractors for the pizza
in light of the fact this is National Pizza Week.
Treasurer’s Report: Mark Schmidt
submitted his report. The account balances for the end
of the year were $19,886.12. Mark reported that we were
holding our own as long as we don’t have any major
expenditures for the upcoming year.
President Elect: Vic Weiland-Vic distributed
a working calendar of events for the Chapter. He explained
this is meant to be a working document in the sense we
are to update it as we move through the year. The intent
is let everyone know when we should be discussing future

Past Institute President: Edd Soenke-no
report

Past President-Arnie Fischer reported
on the ISU Awards Jury that reviewed student projects
for our annual CSI Scholarship Awards. The Jury went to
ISU on December 18 to interview students and award scholarships.
The Jury this year was Steve Conrath and Kim Best from
the industry side, Arnie Fischer, Ron Lehman and Edd Soenke
from the professional side. Arnie reported an enthusiastic
response from students and faculty to CSI. He also mentioned,
as did Kim, that this year’s student projects were
among the best reviewed yet. There was a clear first place
winner, receiving $1500 and two tied for second place.
It was on a motion by Arnie Fischer with a second by Wayne
Smith that the second and third place awards be combined
and two awards for $750 each be distributed to the two
tied for second place. Motion carried.
Arnie also suggested we consider
looking at what other chapters are doing in regards to
a newsletter section focusing on a different member each
month. It was decided for the Board to review other chapter
newsletters to see what they were doing and report back
next month.
Programs and Tours-Edd reported that
he is arranging a tour of the Des Moines operation of
Iowa Precast for April 13. Edd is working on a CEU program
for that tour and lunch. Edd hopes to have it put together
by the next Board meeting.
Public Relations-Kim Best-Although Kim
had no report it was the consensus of the Board that even
though Dennis Hogan is now officially retired that perhaps
we could award him the President DE-Meritus ward.
Newsletter-Wayne Smith-please get any
items in soon
Region Director-Arnie Fischer- Arnie
reported the Regional will vote on January 5th for the
updated Regional By-Laws. Some discussion took place on
changes.
Technical-Edd Soenke-Edd reported we
can probably put together a program on Green Format specifications.
It was discussed and Edd was urged to move forward with
this idea. It was also suggested that we invite any State
and local officials to such an event, as well as any other
group that may have an interest.
Old Business
There was no old business
New Business
Dues for next year will remain the same as this year on
a motion by Treasurer Mark Schmidt, a second by Wayne
Smith and with the motion carrying unanimously.
Due to the great feedback on the ISU Scholarship program
from ISU students and faculty, it was moved by Steve Richardson
and seconded by Mark Schmidt that one of our first chapter
meetings next fall be held in Ames with invitations going
out to students and faculty in the Architecture Department.
Arnie Fischer suggested the program focus on what students
can expect within the first couple of years of having
a “real” job in the field. Motion carried.
It was also suggested that the final topic for this special
meeting be chosen at the annual summer planning session
but that we consider options throughout the year for this
program.
The next Chapter meeting is on Cool Roofs and Green Roofs
and will be January 26, at the West End Diner.
The next Board meeting will be February 1 at noon at the
Sheet Metal Contractors office.
The meeting was adjourned at 1:32 p.m.
Submitted by Steve Richardson, Secretary.
