January meeting minutes were approved with minor corrections.
New Business
The board approved a resolution by unanimous vote advising the President ask Teresa Metzger Howe to conduct RCS in the 2009/2010 Season.
The registered agent for the orchestra was changed from the former treasurer Natasha Close to the current treasurer Doug Potter based on an e-mail vote by a quorum of board members.
A recommendation was made to change the bylaws to convey the duty of registered agent for the state of Washington to the treasurer. This change will be decided by a vote of orchestra members at the next general meeting.
Treasurer
The treasurer presented a summary of income and expenses from 7/1/2008 through 6/30/09. The February summary may be reviewed on the RCS website.
