Persons present: Kay Drache, Martin Schafer, Mitch Pockrandt, David S Cargo,
Dean Gahlon, Polly Jo Peterson, Mark Richards, Rob Ihinger, Kevin Metheny,

Financial Report

Carol and Jonathan had a disc crash and were unable to print out the full
report, but tell us that :

Our outstanding balances:
        IDS             $7400
        Savings         $1400
        Checking        $5000+

Carol knows of no outstanding MN-StF bills and few outstanding obligations.

She has closed the 1992 Minicon books as follows:

        Expenses        $16,545.45
        Income          $15,303.48

This income figure includes about $5,000 from Minicon 26 (1991) but does not
include the approximate $13,000 earned at Minicon 28 (1993).

Martin reported that the Supercon II books are closed and he has a check for
$74 surplus from the account to give to Carol.

After discussion the board decided that it needs $17,000 directed profit from
Minicon and Polly and Mark will report this to Charles and the Minicon
committee.

The board needs a list of past expenses and categories so that they can set up
a budget for the year.


Copier Report

The copier has been purchased and set up at Don and Margo's for her use as
corresponding secretary. David has been reimbursed by Carol.


Coffee Pots

Polly reports that Mythcon would like to borrow the coffee pots. Permission
was given and she was requested to return them to the storage locker promptly.


Medical Flags on Minicon Registration

Following up on the discussion from the last meeting, Kay decided on
reflection that there is a privacy issue here. People may not want possible
access to that information by all and sundry. Kay suggests that, as in any
medical setting, Minicon personnel should assume that they should protect
themselves as if there is danger in every emergency case. In the case of child
care, we cannot refuse care to any child because of (for example) Hepatitis B,
but we can ask them to provide the information on our forms. The board
suggests that we remind members of the con that we have Emergency Medical
Technicians and invite them (members) to give the EMTs any medical information
that would be important in an emergency.


Minicon Issues

The rest of the meeting revolved around Minicon issues. The board authorized
payment to Rob for legal work he has done.

Next Meeting will be at Toad Hall, 3444 Blaisdell Ave in Mpls at 7:30pm.
