III. COMMITTEE REPORTS:
A. Treasurer’s Report – No new membership dues to report. There was a $200 disbursement to AACPM for annual membership dues.
B. Communications Report – Debbie W. has been in contact with Cheryl Flinn regarding the website. Things are not working like they should. Debbie W. would like to put a list together of things we would like to see changed on the website so she can work with Cheryl.
C. Membership – No new memberships to report. Kris called the former website host company to ask why they charged $107.00 for a service that was cancelled a year ago. The company representative stated the web license was cancelled but not the service. Kris thinks the best we can hope for is a prorated refund of the service charge. She will follow up with them if we don’t receive a partial refund.

Committee reports were accepted as submitted.

IV. ASSIGNMENTS:
A. Web site –Debbie Woolery will be working with Cheryl Flinn to get the web site corrected. Debbie reported she has not had a chance go to different businesses to ask for donations of Idaho products for the AACPM Conference basket. She is going to buy items instead of asking for donations.
B. Jan reported the date for the ISCPM Annual Conference will be December 15th. It will be held in the auditorium at the Tax Commission. We may be able to use one of the Tax Commission’s free days for the event; otherwise, the cost will be $300. Jan suggested a cost of $39.00 for each person. Last year the fee was $79.00. Jan would also like to offer a discount to all Tax Commission employees who attend. She suggested offering a discount for anyone renewing their membership the day of the conference or becoming a new member. Everyone agreed it was a good idea. Jan would like to raffle a basket during our conference.

Jan shared an email from Connie Pratt stating Connie would like to see the 2010 Askew Award winner chosen early this year so the winner can be announced at CPM graduation. Connie wants the review committee to choose runner-ups in addition to the winner.
V. NEW BUSINESS: There was no new business to report.

There being no further business, meeting was adjourned at 3:47 p.m.
