There was a $5 unreconciled entry from 2005 that Dan questioned. Rick provided financial reports for the members and reported that due to the changes made this year in the school announcement and registration and lower than expected school count that lost money on this year's school. Rick asked the members there for the Ok to move some of our money into a CD, to earn us interest that we don't get on the checking account now. Kerry suggested going to a firm such as Edward Jones and seeing what's available. Rick will get information and email the specifics to the board. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REPORT: Rick reported that we have a membership count of 89 members. Rick is working on a membership dues reminder letter to send out to members from last year that haven't renewed this year, Dan Grove will try to help with the wording on that. Rick reported that we had 100% collections on school registrations. We had a booth at the OFIA conference and the Northwest Fire Expo and gave out some information at both events. Laurie Hendricks is working on the contract for us with Chemeketa but didn't have it ready for today's meeting, she will send it to Rick for approval and he will get copies to the board for review. Rick reports that since we haven't seen this contract yet he hasn't set the hotel reservations yet either, but he was informed that we can use Tina's catering for the lunches next year instead of Chemeketa's catering. Rick asked the board to approve a budget the same as last years, budget was approved OLD BUSINESS: Rick will check on Hale Pump promised us by Hale Products. NEW BUSINESS: We received an application from the OFDDA to sponsor a table at their conference this year, no motion was made. It was asked about doing the vendor show at OVFA and it is too close to their conference to do it this year, but we can plan for next year. Rick reviewed the committee list and took suggestions for changes and will send it to the President for his review since the committees are appointed by the President.
