3.  New Business

Jan 30, 2021 9:03 AM
President McDaniel Hall asked for the new business item from Mark Christian.

Jan 30, 2021 9:36 AM
Treasurer Mark Christian posted:

The annual renewal fee for our server is due 03/25/2021. As of now the
renewal amount is $583.07. This is a very good rate but higher than
last year because sales tax is now charged on the transaction. In the
motion below I am asking for authorization of up to $600.00 as was done
last year, the extra amount for any unforeseen contingencies.

I move that $600.00 be authorized for a one year renewal of the the
InMotion Hosting account which hosts IAGenWeb.org.

Mark Christian

Seconded by Paul Nagy at 9:41 AM, Jan 30, 2021.

$600.00 be authorized for a one year renewal of the the InMotion Hosting account which hosts IAGenWeb.org..
