Board Minutes 2010-06-04

In attendance: Matt Strait, Kelly Strait, Betsy Lundsten,
Matt Eppelheimer, Dean Gahlon, Scott Raun, Rebecca Strait, Seven

By-Laws:

Changes to by-laws (see last month's minutes) approved by all present.


PO Box Key:

Matt S currently has 2nd key (Carol has other); probably it should go to
Clay Harris, as M46 pre-reg head; board approves transfer.  [Since this
decision, Clay has received the key.]

Minicon 45 Finances:

Andra is working on getting this wrapped up, but the chairs do not have
an official report yet.

Minicon 46:

A 2nd bank account has been opened at TCF for use with Paypal.  Matt S
was under the impression that the point of this was to have a different
account for 46, since he is a signer for 45, and doesn't need to be
anymore.  He will advise them to close that account, and if they still
want a 2nd account for Paypal, they should open yet another account.
Joel has been told that Carol needs to know about this new bank account,
and has passed this along to Andra.

-Profit target

Should be decided - someone should communicate with Carol about this
year's expenses so as to set this.  Betsy will contact Carol re:
expenses; at next meeting, Board will finalize revised profit target.

-Minicon party at CONvergence

Will MnStf put some money into this?  There is a request for a detailed
budget (or, at least, a brief description) before the Board approves
expenditure.

Seven is thinking about contacting the Reno Worldcon folks to see if
they would like to co-host; Board believes that M46 chairs should have
veto power on this.

Non-profit status:

Scott is still working on this - no updates.  Scott may attempt to
contact IRS re: data provided to others stating we are 501(c)3, yet they
say we aren't.

Domain registration:

Scott will take care of this & handle reimbursement directly.

MnStf Website:

New Dreamhost account is no longer free (had 30-day free, now charged).
Seven has left a message for Kevin & Laurel to talk about transfering,
but has not made contact.

Board requests detailed report for next meeting.

The board asked Seven for a fallcon report.  There's nothing to report.
The board asks for a report at the next meeting.

Scott reports that the Mnstf printer is running fine, but will need
toner soon.

Next meeting: At MnStf picnic, Sat July 17, 2pm.
