The meeting was called to order by President Tranne Pearce followed by the approval of the May 3^rd minutes of the Executive Board meeting.   Copies of the treasurer’s report and proposed bylaw changes were distributed.

Treasurer’s Report : Linda Roser reported that disbursements were made for the Website (May-July) and to the Fair Haven Children’s Home – Fullerton Memorial. Three new memberships were received. The balance as of 8/2/2001 is $1,857.95.

Old Business:

Union List:  Linda Roser reported that she found a word perfect version of the union list, from which Mike McReynolds made a copy, however it contains 10 year old data.  The Access version is the most current version, last updated in 1997.  Mike will not have the time to work on the list for a while and is still open to constructive suggestions as to how the data should be handled.

Linda Roser will work on creating a disk version of the word document and Mike will request the membership to update their portion.  Janet Peters to look for updating guidelines. 

Technology Committee : Tranne Pearce and Susan Duede will check on updates to the KCALL website.  Janet McKinney suggested getting more people on the committee and assigning each member a page of the website, that they would be responsible for updating, so that it doesn’t all fall on the shoulders of a few.

SWALL :  SWALL has decided to meet in Kansas City in 2003.  Tranne discussed with the President of SWALL, the possibility of KCALL members attending their meetings for free, in exchange for helping with some arrangements.  SWALL responded that KCALL members could not attend meetings for free, but may attend at SWALL membership rates.  Tranne will issue a proclamation that KCALL will support SWALL by working on local arrangements and e-mail it out to KCALL Board members who will then put it before the KCALL membership.

Bylaws :  Mike will send the proposed bylaw changes to Lisa to be posted on the website.  Members will then be notified to look at the bylaw changes on the website, before the August membership meeting.

New Business:

Executive Board : Lissa Lord will fill the board member vacancy left by Camille Reynolds.

Programs: Janet Peters announced that the August member meeting will be a casual meeting with an open discussion by members with information they would like to share about conferences and seminars that they have attended.  The speaker for the October meeting will be UMKC Professor Moenssens, a forensic specialist.  The program committee is working on the Christmas Program.  They are working on finding a location and on vendor donations.

Salary Survey: It was suggested that KCALL purchase a copy of the AALL Salary Survey and that it be housed at the Jackson County Law Library.  The survey cost is $90.00.  To be further discussed and voted on at the members meeting.

Robert’s Rules of Order: Linda Roser moved that a copy of Robert’s Rules be purchased for the organization, at a cost of around $10.00.  Motion approved and Tranne will purchase a copy.

Other New Business:

A suggestion was made by Tranne Pearce to offer a grant to the membership for the MAALL meeting in October.  It was decided that it is too late to set up the criteria and to table the proposal until next year.

Meeting adjourned.
