III        Corridor Technology Solutions:  LRTC’s G R Underwood, Director of Client Development and Matthew McClorey, President and CEO used a powerpoint to update the Governing Board on Corridor Technology Solutions.  The immediate focus has been on the “low hanging fruit,” i.e., the center in Labette County.  Valeo and Elizabeth Layton Center have both expressed interest in Powerface.  The board agreed it is critical we get “another Bob.”  Mr Underwood would like to finalize the deal with Labette before presenting the business plan—which he hopes will be by month’s end.

IV        Consent Agenda:  The January 26, 2010 minutes and CEO Report made up the Consent Agenda.  Tracy cited a number of reasons the financial reports were not ready for today’s meeting.  She presented January revenue and said she would send electronically the January financials as soon as they were completed.

JANE ELDREDGE MOVED TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA; BONNIE LOWE SECONDED THE MOTION.  MOTION CARRIED.

VI        Consider for Action:  Good Friend Nomination, Crystal Leming.  Pat Roach Smith nominated Crystal who volunteered her services to assist in the implementation of a mentoring program at the Center—a program that will be launched March 1.
