Francie also reported to them the problems we were experiencing with the programming and they agreed that no charge for the month of June would be charged to APC. Lauren Gottlieb stated the calendar is still not operating correctly because the changes caused by the switch to a new domain. The charge of $100.00 from Network Solutions for the domain name was discussed. It was still unclear if this should be paid. It was decided that John Spencer would contact PSCI to clarify if this billing for the domain name is due or not and report back to the board. Gary Palmer made a motion that World Connect Services be paid the $50.00 billing for July's calendar changes and that Francie Wagner will issue a letter to the company stating that APC no longer wants the service.

Annual Tourism Dinner -- APC will be one of the featured speakers at the Annual Tourism Dinner hosted by the PC Chamber of Commerce on September 18, 1997. The board discussed what APC should do as far as a presentation of Access Perry County. A subcommittee comprised of board members Palmer, Reed, Wagner, Gerber, Spencer and Sprinkle will meet to devise the content of the presentation for the dinner. It was discussed that due to the date of the dinner falling on the regular monthly meeting date for APC that the monthly meeting be held at this same time. John Spencer will notify the members of the date and time that PSCI will be able to meet with the board with their proposal.

There being no further business to discuss, Tim Reed made a motion to adjourn the meeting, Dale Sprinkle seconded. Motion carried.
