Summary of Executive Committee Meeting of 29 October 2005 Held at the Overland offices in Fairfield, Iowa 1:00 to 3:30 PM

Members present: Tim Hird, Rich Moroney, Roger Leahy, Mark Nelson, Heather Clark, James Clark, Ed Wright, Christy Welty, and Kevin Litten
Absent were: Jason Gross, Jim Roach, Jeremy Oehlert, and Pam Wagner
Guest: Tom Niedermeier

Meeting began with a summary of income versus expenses from July of 2004 through June of 2005 and a report of the expected remaining UMP payments until their end in September 2006 given by Tim Hird.

Christy Welty then spoke for an hour about her Liberty Portfolio Project Oriented Funding. (This has already been outlined on the ExCom list and the webpage.)

Several members then noted that they were on a tight schedule and that the meeting should move on.

A discussion then took place about how to handle the membership question for the year 2006. Two proposals were then made and passed.

1) That all those who are current members of the LPIA as of December 31, 2005 shall remain members though the state party's convention to be held in the Spring of 2006. This will allow them to vote at the convention.

2) That a fee of $10 must be paid by all members whose national membership has expired before the end of 2005 to vote at the convention to be held in the Spring of 2006.

It was then proposed that the convention to be held in the Spring of 2006 should be held somewhere in the Corridor (Iowa City / Cedar Rapids) Area and that Kevin Litten would coordinate it. It was also discussed that the convention might take place at the casino in Tama and that ample time must be allotted in the convention schedule to achieve the necessary constitutional and business changes. This was agreed on by consensus and the meeting was adjourned at 3:30.
