The QCS Board of Directors meeting was held via a conference call.

The meeting was called to order at noon EST by Greg Marrs, Chairman. The directors participating in the call included:

Mark Witherspoon, the At-large Representative, was not available to participate in the call. Paul Miller and Michael Rector participated as representatives from National DHIA and Quality Certification Services.

Michael Rector reported on the current status of field service, laboratory, meter center, meter technician, and processing center audit reports. He confirmed that Scott Taylor, California DHIA Assistant Manager, had agreed to perform three field service, meter center, and meter technician audits.

The Board approved the use of Scott Taylor for the Colorado DHIA, Lancaster DHIA, and Rocky Mountain DHIA audits. However, they instructed Michael to write the contracts on an individual audit basis and make no further commitments to California DHIA beyond December 31st.

Jim Boyer reported that the DHI Cooperative, Inc processing center was still under development and that they were not ready to begin the initial certification process at this time. The Board agreed to regard this as confidential information.

Michael presented a revised budget with projected expenses of $201,775 and projected income of $189.950. The revised budget eliminated the expenses associated with a second employee but included projected expenses for more use of contract auditors.

The Board expressed concern over the deficit budget. However, noting that it did not include projected income for initial certifications and that National DHIA had agreed to subsidize QCS if necessary, the budget was approved.

Michael reminded the directors to return reimbursement forms for expenses incurred to attend the October 18th meeting.

The Board agreed to extend the time allotment for the March meeting to four hours and Greg Marrs adjourned the meeting at 1:15 PM.

Respectfully Submitted,
Bruce Dokkebakken
Secretary
