The meeting was called to order at 10:05 AM by Rich Englefield

1. Open Session
    
   Ken Hasse was asked to record the meeting in the absence of a secretary. Meeting minutes not being issued on timely basis has become a problem. Rich suggested that meetings be recorded and then transcribed by an outside source followed by a discussion of cost and whether budget would allow it. The suggestion was made that Darlene Woods or Linda Columbo might be better suited to type the meeting minutes. Rich also suggested that the general meeting be recorded.
    
2. Closed Session
    
3. Reopen Session
