Call to Order
President Misty Hollis called the meeting to order at 12:05 PM and
welcomed all attending to the annual WayNet membership meeting. The
meeting was held at the auditorium of Richmond Power & Light.
President’s Report
Misty Hollis presented an overview of the year. She remarked about
the work the marketing committee had done over the past year under the
leadership of Gary Arndts. These efforts resulted in an increase of
membership as well as getting the WayNet message out to prospective
and current members. She thanked Jane Holman for all that she has done
to make WayNet the organization that it is today. Through her constant
leadership she is responsible for the excellent on-line resources
offered to the Wayne County community through WayNet.
o Changes to the Articles of Incorporation were presented to the
membership. These changes are required as part of the conversion to
501c(3) status. Tom Kirk moved to approve the changes; Dudley Fetzer
and Jodi Johnson concurrently seconded the motion. The motion was
unanimously approved.
o Changes to the By-Laws were presented as well to the membership.
Likewise these changes were made as part of the conversion to 501c(3)
as well as to clean-up miscellaneous items. Steve Borchers moved to
approve the changes; Bob Sheffer seconded. The motion was unanimously
carried.
o There are two paragraphs in the By-Laws that seem to be in conflict
related to the formation of the Executive committee. There was quite a
bit of discussion on how to change the wording to avoid the conflict.
The sections in question are 4.13 and
6.3 (1). Recommendations for
changes will be made and voted on during the next board meeting in
November.
Treasurer’s Report
Gary Arndts presented the current financial
balance statement.
Running balance at the end of August was $14,571.93. This was $496.15
less than the same time last year. This compared to $13,922.18, the
beginning balance January 1, 2006, an increase of $649.75. Overall the
financial status of WayNet has remained stable. Added expenditures
related to the 501c(3) conversion to Gillam & Zetzl in the amount of
$2000 with an additional $900 for a filing fee (Gillam & Zetzl will
absorb $200 of the filing fee) were part of expenses for 2006 budget
year. Jodi Johnson moved to approve the financial statement; Randy
Baker seconded. The balance statement was approved as presented.
Executive Director’s Report
Jane gave some brief remarks related to increase in membership and
the work done to finally complete the tax status conversion. For the
