Minutes of SWANA Rocky Mountain Chapter Annual Members Meeting8 October 2004, Holiday Inn Express Motel, Estes Park, CO President John Briest called the Colorado Rocky Mountain Chapter of the Solid Waste Association of North America annual Member's meeting to order at 1:30 pm, Mountain Daylight Time. Batchelder Adams/Sprague moved/seconded to approve the board of directors meeting minutes of 17 August 2004. Motion carried unanimously. Election of officers and directors proceeded for those members present that had not already submitted their ballots. No additional ballots were received so final results are: L Butler (President); D Sprague (Vice President); D Barton (Secretary); C Ahrendson (Treasurer); L Batchelder-Adams; R Doak; S Gillette, M Stott, and J Briest (Past President). Brief discussion held that a new director may be required for M. Stott as he may be leaving the state and will not be able to serve on the board. Ratification of Bylaws changes proceeded as no new ballets received. All ballots previously received approved the two proposed changes. Bylaws changes will be incorporated into the bylaws as ratified effective 8 October 2004. Laurie Batchelder Adams, International Board Member, gave brief overview of National SWANA. The e-business loan has now been closed and payout will begin. The Colorado Rocky Mountain SWANA Chapter was the first to provide support for the Amicus Brief.
