The NYSASIC General Business Meeting was called to order by President Paul Casey at 9:40 AM at the Riveredge Resort, Alexandria Bay, NY.

The minutes of the September 30, 2005 General Business Meeting were read and approved on motion of Dick Davies, second by Cindy Cocca.

Jeff Whittemore gave the Treasurer’s Report. As of May 12, 2006, NYSASIC had a Checking Account balance of $13,659.55, and a Savings Account balance of $8,285.44. The accounts total $21,944.99, with some conference expenses from the Riveredge outstanding. The Treasurer’s Report was approved on motion of Darlene White, second by Lisa Watts.

The 2006 Fall Conference will be held September 27 – 29 at the Canoe Island Lodge in Lake George. After the 2005 Fall Conference, the Canoe Island Lodge received very favorable comments from both municipal participants and vendors alike. Because space is more limited at the Lodge than other conference locations, it was suggested that members share their rooms if they are willing to do so, in order to have accommodations for the large group expected at this conference.

As the commitment to the Lodge was for two years only, a Request for Proposal will be prepared for the 2007 Fall Conference location. It was noted that the 2006 Spring Conference utilized over 100 rooms at the Riveredge.

Next on the agenda was the nomination of officers, presented by Bonnie Szpulecki, Chairman of the Nominating Committee. Nominated and elected as President was Amy Clute from Warren County. Nominated and elected as Vice-President was Deborah Burnham from Cattaraugus County. Nominated and elected as Secretary was Amy Poff from Tioga County. Nominated and elected as Treasurer was Colleen Capwell from Broome County. All terms are for two years, expiring in May 2008. President Paul Casey and Lynn Meus will serve on the NYSASIC Board of Directors for a two-year term, expiring May 2008. Lisa Watts will complete the last year of Amy Poff’s term on the Board, and Lisa’s term will expire May 2007. The nominations were approved on motion of Cindy Cocca, second by Soni O’Bryan.

There being no Old or New Business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 10:00 AM.
