The Nominating Committee presented the recommendation of E. Thomas Kemp for membership on the WayNet Executive Board to fill a vacant unexpired term. On motion of Pam Frantz and second of Steve Reynolds the motion to appoint E. Thomas Kemp as a member of the Executive Board for the remaining two months of the unexpired term and present his name to the WayNet membership at the annual meeting for a two year term was passed. The Nominating Committee will present its full report on nominations for the Executive Board and officers at the next meeting of the Executive Board and the annual membership meeting.

A fee waiver request was received from the Richmond Area Railroaders Society. On motion of Steve Reynolds and second of Amy Spears the fee waiver was approved.

Jane Holman requested the Executive Board provide a policy interpretation. She asked if it is permissible to include business "grand openings" on the WayNet Community Calendar. Jane explained that the policy has been that the Community Calendar be non-commercial listing of community activities. The policy also requires that activities announced be open to the public. The sense of the Executive Board is that announcements of grand openings as posted by the Richmond and Wayne County Chamber of Commerce (a WayNet member) for their members is not inconsistent with the policies and could be listed on the WayNet Community Calendar.

The Executive Director's report was presented.

President Bill Felker announced that he had asked Chris Hardie, Amy Spears and Rodger Smith to form a planning committee for the annual meeting in September. The Executive Board by motion of Tom Kirk and second of Amy Spears approved the date of September 25 at 7:00 for the meeting time. Schedule permitting the meeting will be in the Bard Room at Morrisson-Reeves Library.
