Board Meeting -- Minutes -- June 25, 2008

• 2:10 - Meeting was called to order, with all Board members, except Greg Tornga Tom Kelly & David Kaleel were in attendance.

• Dennis Hall reviewed the associations Antitrust Policy with the board members.

• Jim Barnett presented the board with the minutes of last meeting, which were accepted.

• Review of financials – Jim Barnett reported that the funds on hand totaled $780.93

• Jim Barnett introduced guest, Robert Harris, owner of Universal Auto glass, and Jack Nylund, owner of the Daisy Group.

Old Business:

• Legal Review of Desired Changes – Dennis Hall advised the board that he had reviewed the requested changes (increasing the size on the board, expanding the association to allow glass repair and flat glass activities, and changing the name by deleting the word auto), and found no legal huddles (other than paperwork) in accomplishing all.

• By-Laws were amended to increase the size of the Board to a minimum of seven and maximum of ten. The vote was carried unanimously.

• Domination of Robert Harris to the Board – Rex nominated Robert Harris to the Board, which was seconded by Michael DeBord, and carried unanimously. The addition of Robert Harris brings the Board to eight members.

• Financial Services – Jim Barnett reported that Martha Guevara had offered to continue to taking care of the associations books, handling the bank deposits, sending out invoices, collecting the mail, writing checks as authorized by the Board, maintain the status of each member and providing the financial status for each Board meeting, for a fee of $250.00 per month. Cindy Ketcherside told the Board that she could not vote to authorize this expenditure, unless there were sufficient funds to pay for it. At this time, Jack Nylund arrived, thus all financial issues were tabled until he had completed his presentation.

New Business:

• Presentation of Fund Raising Projects, and Benefit Programs – Jack Nylund – Jack was known to the association, as his company organized the very successful bowling event we had some years ago. Jack presented a very complete list of optional activities and events which the association could use to bring members together and raise some badly needed funds. Jack requires a contract before getting started, and the board took his information in as a very positive step in helping to reverse the negative cash flow.

• Adjournment of the regular Board meeting: 3:20

• Executive Session – Based on the lack of funds required to continue paying Jim Barnett, and Martha Guevara, the board went into executive session, in an attempt to place a conference call to the missing board members, in an effort to review their options. A special Board meeting is to be held next Wednesday, to develop a plan to proceed.

• Next Regular Board meeting: 2:00 on July 23, @ Dennis Hall’s office.

Respectfully,
Jim Barnett
