A $15.40 bill for postage for mailings was submitted and approved to be payed.
Membership dues continue to come in.
Mary requested an updated list of membership dues paid, so she can continue mailings to its paid members.


OLD BUSINESS:
Lagers update: Lagers report that they are regulated by state statues. The only way to change this is to contact and write letters to our Senators and Representatives.
See additional information in the enclosure.
Bill will discuss this matter with Frank Foster. Kent will contact Ken Koch from American Amb. Assoc. and Vicky Groce and Mark Alexander from MO. Amb. Assoc.

We are still trying to locate the Bi-Laws and Incorporation Documents. Mary reviewed old minutes and was unable to locate them from these minutes. Roger Hoffman was contacted and he will contact Dan Barry, the attorney at that time to get copies. Bill will contact the state to see if we can get this information from them.


EDUCATION :

PEEP class: Shane has requested the network to help with partial funding of this class. This would be used for the purchase of equipment etc. See enclosure. North Scott has graciously offered the use of a Pedi ALS simulator to reduce the cost of needed equipment. This could be used by the network at no cost. It was discussed and a motion was made to finance the cost of $1700.00 for equipment to be utilized for the PEPP class. Repayment would be from class fees.

It was discussed and suggested to form an educator's committee to over see the PEEP class. Shane was nominated to chair this committee.


NEW BUSINESS:
Kent Forde was presented with a plaque for his dedication to SEMO EMS Network and continued support and commitment to EMS in MO.

Chuck was unable to attend this meeting but submitted information he received from Fitch and Associates regarding HIPPA and the National Fire Protection Association's new standards. See enclosures.
