Elmers Restaurant- Tacoma
Meeting started at 8:30 with Ron Kearns, Russell Albright II, Dennis Gorley and Jerry Galland in attendance.
Website
Russell had done a lot of work creating a proposed new website for NORPAC that incorporates all of the existing information and files on the current website. All board members logged onto the proposed new website so we could explore, while Russell gave a presentation on the features. He had already applied some member input to offer better features. And was ready to offer his many improvements to the Request a Santa/Mrs. Claus page. Including required fields for location, dates and event details. From member suggestions at the February 1st general meeting, he will be refining further, adding event classifications like military and charity, and making changes to how members can interact with the message board. After accepting suggestions on changes, a motion was made by Dennis to accept and implement the new website, replacing the existing.
Motion was seconded by Jerry, vote taken, passed 4-0. Russell will contact Trever Waltos to facilitate the changes and migration.
Another motion was made by Dennis to authorize we spend up to $500 to cover development and related costs. Seconded by Jerry, vote taken and passed 4-0
