      Each Committee Chair is to provide a budget for each committee to Treasurer. This number should be on the MBO and shown to the Treasurer.

      We have until December 31, 2005 to complete the IRS forms for 2005. Tim Citek to help with the 990 form for 2004-2005 to the ASHRAE accountant.

      The total balance as of June 5, 2005 (not counting the revenue from the June 5 meeting) is $14,604.10

      A hard copy detail of transactions was not submitted to the board for review. It must be passed before the year.

Research Promotion (FK):

      The internal goal is $30,000.

      FK noted the different levels of Par, High Five, etc…CFL’s PAR is approximately $22,500.

      FK is looking to all of the Big Companies in Orlando to get contributions. Mark Kirby noted that Disney will donate about $500 to an actual committee. Universal, Sea World, Lockheed Martin.

      Needs 10% of chapter or 10 people on the committee. FK to submit the list of his committee at the next meeting.

      FK with hold a telethon to raise much of the money.

      Cell Phone usage is a $5 penalty during BOG meetings. $10 late fee to meeting. All goes to Research.

      Month of October, FK needs 10 to 15 people to hound the ASHRAE members that have never donated in the past...and the majority is that they have not been asked in the recent past.

Student Activities (Jason Alphonso):

      A formal report was handed out (due to email issues it was not received electronically)

      MBO in progress.

      Formed Student Activity Committee. Amy Weaver is Co-Chair for College. Heather Franck is K-12.

      UCF Chapter being re-organized after meetings there with many parties.

          o They have felt neglected over the past years…ASME is thriving.

          o Minutes of meeting to be forthcoming.

          o Dr. Kupper is the Student Branch Organizer.

      There is a possibility for covering a HVAC II class with Adjunct Professors from the community. A curriculum would need to be created.

Motion (FK, Seconded by Mike Dillard) The Board of Governors could approve up to 100% of the Product Show proceeds to the Student Activity Committee, as the Committee shows need. Motion Passed (6-0-0). Discussion of the motion: Todd Moore recommended that it should be $2000 at a minimum. FK noted that CFL gets approximately $6000 for each event. Tim Citek noted that we could contribute it at any time if the Board wanted. Wade Conlan noted that this event is every 2 years, so wouldn’t we want to spread the money over 2 years so it is not an "all or nothing" value to Students. FK noted that this money is for all students, not just the UCF Student Chapter. The original motion was amended, and that passed 6-0-0, which was then voted on as the Motion that officially passed.

Programs Chair (Tim Citek):

      There are only 3 meetings left to fill. They are filled through February, with a tentative approach to November.

      FK trying to get ASHRAE Researcher for Promotion Talk – Citek noted that this would be good for January.

      Jason Alphonso – spoke about getting HVAC researchers from UF (Dr. Sherif would be contacted) for the January event.

      A possibility is T&B/Commissioning for November in a debate format. (Mark Kirby would be a participant…he noted Bill Weinaug said he would be up for this in an event last year). It was noted to get a T&B Contractor on the panel as well to show all sides.

      Trade Show is in December – no normal meeting. Tables are going fast. A 3 hr seminar is required to get PAOE points. Mark Kirby suggested Donny Pitman (Chief Orlando Mech Inspector) has a Code update. Mark Kirby to contact him for a December 8th. A minimum charge to be determined for this seminar – later a motion passed.

      Programs MBO is being completed.

Motion: (Bill Dillard, Seconded by Firouz Kiekavousi) Seminar at Trade Show shall be $45 – motion passed (6-0-0). Discussion was that average costs for these are much higher ($100 is typical for other of this kind). FK wanted to ensure that he is Accredited to provide 4 pdh’s – Todd Moore to verify.
