Reports
- Treasurer’s Report:
- The remaining balance of general funds, as of 7/31, was $451.92.
- Bert reported that all dues refund payments have been issued. Five refund checks remain uncashed.
- The Board approved Bert’s recommendation that he close the PayPal and checking accounts by 8/31, and conduct all transactions in cash after that date. Bert will contact the recipients of the uncashed refund checks by phone or letter, asking them to cash the checks before the end of the month.
- Jim and Mike will transfer the monthly AWS charge to the Hackerspace.
- A request has been sent to the provider of the Resource Center security system to terminate the DACS contract.
- Webmaster’s Report:

- Jim will do a dump of the contents of the CiviCRM database within the next week, after which the system will be shut down.
- It was agreed that the webmaster (of the month) will continue to post any meeting previews to both the DACS website and to Meetup.
- There was no Press Coverage Report.
Old Business
- Formal Steps to dissolve DACS:
- Mike reported that his review with the lawyer of the tasks listed in Jim’s 4/6/2018 e-mail will take place shortly. The main concern is that some step required for the shutdown of DACS may have been overlooked.
- Programs:
- Mike will distribute his list of potential meeting topics.
- Mike asked that everyone try to identify the best 5 presentations that DACS has had over the past 10 years, to use for planning of future meetings.
- Cleanup of the Resource Center (RC):
- The Board agreed that the Google Voice phone number should be shut down.
- Mike will organize cleanup of the RC in September and/or October.
New Business
- Bert will let Mike know the next DACS Meetup billing date. Mike will work on getting the billing for the DACS Meetup transferred to the Hackerspace.
- Mike will speak to Steve Harkness about how to pursue his interest in investment software. The Board agreed that the meetings which Steve hosts immediately before each general meeting should be held at a different time and/or place.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 pm.
