Minutes of Meeting
Missouri State Land Survey Authority
October 23, 1970

The stated meeting of the Authority was called to order by Chairman Kennedy at 10:10 a.m. in the conference room of the Buehler Building, Rolla, Missouri.  All members and Mr. Art Jacobs, planning coordinator, were present.

Minutes of the October 7th meeting as previously distributed were corrected.  It was moved by J. S. Anderson and seconded by R. J. Barr that the minutes, as corrected, be approved.  The motion carried.

Chairman Kennedy explained the establishment of a "reading file" to be maintained by the Coordinator for reference by Authority members.

Mr. Jacobs reported that several letters from County Surveyors have been received in reply to correspondence.  Similar letters are to be sent to members of MARLS, and later to registered land surveyors not members of MARLS.

Attention of the Authority was directed to the budget recommendation of the Director of Budget.  Art Jacobs presented a review of the efforts to obtain a satisfactory budget.  The Budget Office has recommended the following:

        Personal Service       $66,488.00
        Additions               34,555.00
        Repairs & Replacements     300.00
        Operations              87,700.00
                              -----------
                    Total     $189,043.00

It was agreed by the Authority to request - at the Governor's Appeal Hearing - restoration of $95,900.00 in operations in order to provide services (through contractural services) as established by Statute.  Members agreed to be present at the hearing without compensation or reimbursement for expenses.

The Authority plans to make appropriate contact with the chief executive officer of:  Missouri Land Title Association, Missouri Association of Realtors, and Association of County Recorders.

A summary of expenses to date and proposed future expenditures was presented by Mr. Jacobs and approval given by the Authority.

A late November, or early December, meeting date will be determined and the members properly informed.

There being no other business, the meeting adjourned.
