Minutes of the Minn-stf Board meeting, January 29, 1985. The meeting was held
at the French House, 3552 Colfax Ave. S., home of Virginia Nelson. It had been
scheduled for Judy Cilcain's residence, but was rescheduled for Virginia's
since the last meeting. Recording secretary, Judith Bratton.

The meeting came to order at 8:40p.m. Board members present were: Scott Imes,
Judy Cilcain, Don Bailey, Virginia Nelson, and Karen Johnson. Also present:
Geri Sullivan, Pres., Joel Halpern, Geof Stone, Dan Goodman, Peter Larsen,
Jonathan Adams, Beth Friedman, Lynn Anderson, Dean Gahlon, Scott Ritche, and
Rick Gellman.

The minutes of the last meeting were read by Don Bailey.

On the agenda for the meeting were the topics: the treasury of the 1984 fall
con, Minneapa, Mpls. in '73, the 1985 fall con, and putting down Dan Goodman, not
necessarily in that order.

The treasury of the 1984 fall con (Maxicon) was the first item discussed. A
legal signator of the fall con's bank account, Denise Nelson, had used monies from
the account for a purpose which she considered legitimate convention business, the
legal fees of a dispute which arose at the convention. She had contacted Don Bailey
earlier in the evening to say that although she could not be at the Board meeting,
she would call the meeting place at 9:30 p. m. to further discuss the Board's stand
on this matter. The board, after hearing from Rick Gellman, the co-chairperson of
Maxicon, and reviewing the bylaws of the club on the subject of extraordinary
expenses, ruled unanimously that Denise had gone beyond the limits in the bylaws in
appropriating the funds for the purpose that she used them for, and in that she did
not first request the funds before appropreating them. The board agreed to ask
Denise to pay back the sum ($575) by a repayment plan if she can't repay all if it
at once. It was agreed that Don Bailey would speak to her when she called the
meeting.

When Denise called the meeting, Don informed her of the Board's decision, and
made arrangements to meet with her on Thursday, January 31, 1985 at 6 p. m. at the
Rainbow Cafe. Scot Imes proposed giving Don $15 for expenses for that evening. The
Board approved the expenditure.

Mpls. in '73 became the next item on the agenda. Geri Sullivan has become the
chairman of the convention bid, as Denny Lien has stepped down from this position.
The Board approved $30 to be spent for flyers to be printed.

Fallcon '85 was next on the agenda. Virginia Nelson and Beth Friedman have
agreed to be co-chairpersons, and several people have agreed to assist them in this
endeavor. The Board approved of their bid for the fall con, which has yet to be
named.

Dan Goodman wished to discuss the Minn-stf hotline's policies and perhaps to
have some of them modified. No change in policy was made.

Karen Johnson requested permission to catalogue, update, and index the Minn-stf
library, starting with cataloging current titles on index cards. Board approved up
to $20 for purchase of index cards and such.

Rune needs new editors. Judy Cilcain volunteered to call the current editors
to discuss this with them. The choosing of new editors will be left to next year's
Board.

As we do not have a complete set of Minneapa, it is difficult to get them
bound. Beth Friedman has agreed to get a list of the missing ones and hunt them.

The next meeting will be at 8:15, February 12, 1985, at the French House. The
meeting adjourned at 10:40 p. m.
