New Business
1. Agenda for May meeting will include a requested legislative update from Jack Seiler, Ellyn Bogdanoff and Perry Thurston – we will make the request.  Also, Scott Woodward will be invited to give a short presentation on Food Drives
2. Meeting Schedule for the Board was discussed with an agreement that if Michael O’Brien can attend a meeting starting at 6:00 and participate for the duration of that meeting, the board was amenable to the change.  If District II elect O’Brien is not able to meet this scheduled change, he will be asked to resign and the meeting will revert to 5:30 to accommodate other meeting commitments and the use of the space.  Michael O’Brien was advised of the needs of the Board after the meeting and he will be following up with an e-mail response as to whether he is able to make a 6:00 meeting. 
3. If it becomes necessary to re-elect to the District II seat, an interim appointment will be made until an election can be held.  The By-Laws require that a 30 day notice is required prior to any election therefore it would be May before the position could be filled.
4. Middle River Resolution will be present to all voting members at the April meeting for a vote.  It was further discussed that if a member desires to have information provided to membership that has not been discussed and requested at a scheduled meeting, the corresponding secretary must get authorization for the President and/or the Board to do a blanket e-mail.  If it is determined at a regularly schedule meeting that additional documents will be provided by the Council, they will be sent via e-mail by the Corresponding Secretary. 
5. Routine notices of events, meetings, etc. will continue to be transmitted as needed.
6. Refreshment list transfer from outgoing to incoming 2nd Vice President was accomplished with an agreement that at the April meeting, each association will be asked to sign up for a month.

Old Business
1. Secretarial Records – all records have been punched and placed in storage and no longer remain outstanding.
2. Status of Prior Years – Treasurer’s Records Report by Ed Barranco indicated that no additional records have been provided by Bunney Brenneman and he will again contact her for an update.  He has agreed to compile a summary record of those lost by B.
