Board of Directors Meeting

Teleconference
Legislative Priorities – Sue said she is waiting to hear
back from Bill Brauch, Attorney General’s Office, in
regard to the rebuilder tax following their meeting in
November. She will talk to Clyde and then one of
them will follow up with a reminder call to Bill if they
decide it’s necessary at this time.
Sue and Mike S. met with Jim Piazza last week to dis-
cuss legislative priorities. They talked about getting at
least two bills drafted: NMVTIS in Iowa and sales tax
on the public in the sales pool.
Member Survey – Sue wanted to follow up with mem-
ber Jeff Poell’s suggestion to conduct a member sur-
vey. Ideas to ask: how is business now, what are
legislative priorities specific to the NMVTIS process,
and how do members receive recyclers news. Sue
will continue to work on this survey.
Other Business:
Harmari Report – Sue asked about sending email to
Craigslist posts to alert of scrapper definition info and
dealer identification to discourage fraud.
Sue asked about purchasing a new insurance adjust-
er master list. Brent made a motion to purchase a
new insurance adjuster list for the Who’s Who mail-
ing; Mike S. seconded the motion; motion carried.
Sue said she will also check on body shops and re-
pair shops lists.
