The Jewell County Cinema, Inc. Board met May 24. The meeting was held by Zoom and in person and was called to order by Thadd Hinkle. Those present for the meeting were Thadd Hinkle, Lisa Goodheart, Phyllis Christie, Janis McDill, Chris Klos, Kristin Underwood and Sarah Ortman. Trevor Elkins was a guest.

Lisa Goodheart read the minutes of the April 2021 meeting. Janis McDill presented the treasurer’s report. She said $400 was paid for “The Girl Who Believed in Miracles.” It had to be shown for two weekends. The movie for Memorial weekend was “Scoob” and it cost $150.

In April, Trevor Elkins said the projector system and the screen are covered on the City of Mankato’s insurance policy. He found a policy that would cover $35,000 in personal property and liability of $500,000 for each occurrence, with a cap of $1 million per year with $1,000 deductible. The City of Mankato would also be listed on the policy.

The board approved to purchase the policy for $947 per year with $500 deductible.

Thadd Hinkle said Sonic helped him recalibrate the projector so the picture does no extend beyond the screen borders. Discussion was held on difficulty finding volunteers. Some did have to work twice in May. A movie will be shown the weekend of June 25, 26 and 27, and the attendance at that movie will determine whether or not there will be movies shown in July and August.

The board has credits from Warner Brothers, so it is possible a double feature could be shown sometime or a DVD, which would either be free to JCCI or maybe $50. It was approved to remove COVID restrictions.

There will be no June meeting, so the next meeting will be July 26.
