The website committee reported that they had been working with an attorney to craft a contract with Joe and Rion.  Now that they had formal board approval the committee will move forward to finalize this contract.  It is anticipated that the new website will be up and running before the end of the month.

The rules committee had nothing new to report.

Logistics of the transfer of records from the “old” treasurer and secretary to the “new” treasurer and secretary were discussed.

The results of the board election were announced and affirmed.  There results were: 

It was determined that there was a tie for 1^st runner up for a Director position between Kevin Hollern and Steve Paul.  According to the by-laws the board must break this tie.  Jeff Burks announced that Steve Paul had withdrawn his name from consideration.  With Steve no longer willing to serve, it was affirmed that Kevin Hollern was to be the 1^st runner up for a Director position.  It was further discussed that Kevin would serve out the remainder of the term if either Mike B. or Wendell W. were not able to serve out their two-year term. 

It was also discussed that the “new” board would be responsible to fill the remainder of Larry Kimble’s Director position when it is vacated on January 1^st.  The specifics of the by-laws were discussed at length.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,

Jeff Ports
