The balance sheet through October of 2004 was reviewed and approved on a motion by E. Thomas Kemp and a second by Dudley Fetzer. It showed an ending balance of $18,251.72 with a $2,500 grant distribution being received from the Artists of Wayne County project.

Jodi Johnson offered praise for the organization being run on a relatively tight budget.  Discussion ensued describing the "service-in-kind" items that Waynet also receives, including office space and Internet access from the City of Richmond, use of a computer and office furniture from Indiana University East and bookkeeping services from Morrisson-Reeves Library.

New Business
Jane gave the Executive Director's report, highlighting progress that has been made on the "Artists of Wayne County" web site, fund distributions for that project, concerns regarding future upgrades for our computer as IU East will not be able to offer an upgrade to our existing system.  Jodi Johnson suggested contacting Kara Monroe at Ivy Tech to see if Ivy Tech could offer similar support to what we have received from IU East in the past.  A motion to accept the report was made by Amy Spears and seconded by E. Thomas Kemp.  Motion carried.

Discussion began on the policy additions and corrections suggested by the Mission/Vision/Programs committee. 

RE: Privacy Policy
Discussion on the sentence "We do not share this information with third parties" under the "Registration heading.  It was felt this sentence should be left in and adhered to as the income stream from sharing names would be unlikely to be sufficient to risk violating the trust of our visitors.

Under "Disclosures Required By Law", E. Thomas Kemp expressed the opinion that this remain as stated as a broader, more general statement would better serve a private not-for-profit organization.

Gary Arndts suggested the heading "No Error Free Performance" be changed to "Performance" for a more positive outlook.

RE: Talk of the Town Policy - no changes.

RE: Linking Policy
A wording change on item #2: from "Web sites that are useful" to "Web sites that are relevant..".  It was stated that the section "Scope of the Collection" was for board and director reference only and was not intended to be placed on the web site.
