- December Minutes were approved as posted online.
- Jeff Jensen – WiFi Hotspot used .6 of 4GB per month authorized thru April. It may be possible to cut the cost by buying less GB per month. Mike Marus suggested we keep the 4 GB per month till Joe Kissell comes and presents. This will give us more data points, and insure Joe has good WiFi for his presentation. The Board agreed to this.
