The minutes of the Executive Board meeting of July 17, 2003 and the annual meeting of September 30, 2003 were approved as presented on a motion by Misty Hollis and a second by Chris Hardie.

Old Business
The board approved the reappointment of Randy Baker to a two year term from 2003 to 2005. His name inadvertently had been left off the board list for the annual meeting. They also readjusted the term of Dudley Fetzer from 2005 to 2004, to reflect the filling of the vacancy of Larry Turner, who had resigned. The motion was made by Nancy Wilson and seconded by Jim Buckler.

The balance sheet for 2003 was reviewed and approve on a motion by Misty Hollis and a second by Jim Buckler.

New Business
Jane Holman presented the Executive Director’s report. Tom Kirk moved and Dudley Fetzer seconded a motion to approve the report.

The board approved a temporary fee schedule for setting up a private discussion group for Noah’s Ark Day Care Center. The fee will be: $200 setup, $50 for training and $50 for hosting, with the first year hosting fee being waived. Approval was granted on a motion by Amy Spears and a second by Chris Hardie. The board will revisit the issue after it’s up and running.

After hearing a report on the filing of Chapter 11 bankruptcy by Hypervine, our web hosting company, the board authorized the Technology Committee to explore alternatives. The Committee is to make a recommendation to the board including an interim plan for hosting. The motion was made by Amy Spears and seconded by Tom Kirk.

President Baker appointed Dudley Fetzer to the Technology Committee, Misty Hollis to the Mission/Vision Committee and transferred Jim Buckler to the Marketing/Public Relations Committee.

After discussion on the frequency of board meetings, the board changed from quarterly to every-other-month beginning in November. The meetings will remain on the third Thursday of the month. Approved on a motion by Chris Hardie and seconded by Bill Pendley.

Finally, Jane took orders for WayNet shirts. Any board member wanting one should contact Jane.

Bill O'Hara Felker
