Members Present:

Also Present:

The meeting was called to order by Francie Wagner.

Minutes were approved as corrected.  Kathy made the motion to correct as follows:  5 members resigned, two offices are open - treasurer and secretary, and four of the remaining seven were present at the meeting.  Dale Sprinkle seconded the motion.

Acting Treasurer Francie Wagner reported a balance of $7846.78 in our account.  Approval of claims were made as follows:

Motion to pay all these bills was made by Kathy Pohl Gerber and seconded by Joan Goble.  Motion Carried, this leaves a balance of $6461.78 after bills are paid.

Letters were sent to all organizations asking for a representative to our board for the new year.   Letters returned reappointing Dale Sprinkle, Joan Goble, John Spencer, Judy Howe, and Francie Wagner.

PSCI suggested we print business cards with both APC and PSCI web addresses.  They could be handed out at restaurants or other heavy traffic areas.  John Spencer will look into printing cost.

Francie Wagner posted a warning on the town hall for people to watch the language used.  The rude comments stopped after that.

Glory Bees Preschool was referred to PSCI.  They want more than a listing name, address and phone.  If Kaye Kleeman will provide a list of daycare providers we will list them also.

Jim Dauby from PSCI might like to start attending our meetings.  Everyone thought it was a good idea, but a conflict of interest if on the board.

Everyone was in agreement that all business or organization should be provided with a link to their site at no charge.  We will ask that they also link our site from theirs.  PSCI will be asked to link in such a way that they do not leave our site when jumping to the links.  Perry County Hospital and Perry County Solid Waste will be linked.

A Post Grant Era Committee was formed to look into plans for APC after the grant money runs out this year.  John Spencer, Joan Goble, and Kathy Gerber are on the committee.

By Law changes made at the last meeting were reviewed.   It was decided that future letters to the organizations appointing board members must include a statement that the board nominee needs a working knowledge of the Internet and must have e-mail access.

Suggestions were made for the background designs of the banner on our front page.  Suggestions were: Fall leaves, Fireworks, Announcement Banner, German Fest design, and others.

The clubs and organizations list will be updated by Kathy Pohl Gerber.  It was decided to eliminate contact people and their addresses because they change annually.

PSCI announced that they will be moving to a DEC Alpha Server within the next couple of months.  They also suggested that we wait for Front Page Training until they switch to the 98 version which should have the security problems resolved within a couple of months.

Zip drive or Jazz drive purchases will be discussed with Kevin at PSCI.  John Spencer will find out if we can load Front Page onto one of these drives and use them on any computer to update our site.

We received two emails, Nikki Schofields from an Indianapolis Law Library requested our brochure and a map.  Michael Ney with ICNA commented that our site looked good.

Dale Sprinkle suggested that we conduct all business at the beginning of our meetings and hold discussions until the end, all were in agreement.

Meeting adjourned at 9:15pm
