New Business:
Craigslist Monitoring Program
– Sue reported on
a recent conference call in which she participated
with representatives of the DOT and IIADA to dis-
cuss Harmari, the monitoring program. This is a
for-hire computer program designed to scan online
sites such as Craigslist for non-licensed people
selling vehicles online. Sue said the DOT is very
interested in this program and continues to study it.
There is a 90-day introductory price that would give
us a chance to try it out and look at the reports it
generates. Judy Wilson is working on getting
some of those reports customized and getting
some pricing information before she or we decide
to invest in Harmari.
