Myklebust (arrived late) and Daryl Pearson.

President’s Message: Doug Reynolds
Doug reminded the board about the issues that were brought to the WSCPA
Board from the last meeting. Doug received an email from Joie Worthen
about working on these issues that included: WSCPA By-Laws, Articles of Incorporation, a Policy and Procedures Manual and a Crime Prevention Certification Committee. The past two months these people called a number
of WSCPA Members asking questions about past activities and where
the archives are kept.

They contacted Steve Rittereiser who stated that all the archives are with the WSCPA office in Walla Walla . Neither Doug nor Daryl have heard
from this group or have they requested a place on the agenda to discuss what                they have found out.

Stella Kent asked what the time frame was for this group to come forward
for any By-Law changes. Daryl advised everyone that this group was asked
to come to this meeting to give us an update and to proceed with any
changes they would like to make at the June Board meeting. We would
then announce the changes and have a special meeting at the October
Regional Conference and vote in the
            changes.
Doug talked to Kim Dalferes from NCPC to see about the feasibility of a National Crime Prevention Certification. Doug told the board that NCPC
is currently researching the concept of certification and will make this a part
of both the East and Western Regional Crime Prevention Conferences.

Executive Director’s Report: Daryl Pearson

Daryl gave out his Executive Director’s Report that included a quick update
on the NCPC Conference Committee meeting. Four WSCPA Board
Members met as a part of the working Regional Conference committee. A
total of nine people met to outline a plan of attack for the Western
Conference. The main thing NCPC wanted from us was advertising, finding speakers, and sending out conference flyers. Daryl asked about a financial burden to WSCPA and they stated that WSCPA shouldn’t have any financial burden.

We will have the opportunity to make money from the conference pin and our WSCPA clothes with the help of Black Knight Graphics. The conference will be in October. The conference will be in downtown Seattle . Registration fees will be between $185 to $225 and the hotel will be around $118 a night.
The special development classes will be $80.

Minutes:
Marion called earlier to report a word misspelling that was cleaned up before
the WSCPA Board meeting. Doug also stated that he had called ISCPP
about administering the Crime Prevention Practitioner Test at a future date.
We will not have to pay someone to proctor the exam. Kay McKellar
moved that the minutes be accepted as presented and Marion Swendsen seconded the motion and the motion passed.

Treasurer’s Report: Kay McKellar
Kay gave everyone a run down of all the expenses from July 1^st, 2003 to
April 15, 2004 . Kay stated that WSCPA has $25,638.34 and roughly
$16,000 in the CD account. Kay discussed several bookkeeping items
that she is working on with our accountant. The accounting review will
take place after the June board meeting. Kay bought a color printer and upgraded the memory in the WSCPA lap top since the last meeting.

Kay brought up the office color copier billing process. We have worked
out a process for payment using our credit card. We are working with
Citicorp to get this problem taken care of. We have been billed a number of
late fees which were caused only be Citicorp billing process. Kay told the
board that she will meet with Daryl to make sure that all these issues are
dealt with. Gerald Abernathy moved to accept the Treasurer’s Report as presented and Marion seconded the motion. The motion passed.

Daryl presented a copy of the 2004 budget to make sure that everyone saw
how our expenses stood with our budget. Daryl reported that the mailbox telephone has been disconnected. The mailbox was dropped because we deleted the WSCPA Court Services program. This move should result in a savings of almost a $1,000 a year.

WASPC Report: Denis Austin
Chief Austin and Daryl went to the WASPC conference in Lake Chelan .
We gave a brief report that resulted in a number of new agency memberships and new contacts for WSCPA. The next meeting is in Yakima in the Spring
and we hope to have a booth at that meeting.

them through his CPTED ordinance in a hope to enforce a code in Seattle .

Pasco Conference Update:

date on the conference. She stated that Captain Aldredge will be here in the morning to welcome the conference attendees and that Chief Austin will be
out of town.

Gerald gave out a written Region 3 report. He added that Lacey, Tumwater
and Olympia are holding monthly multi housing meetings. Lacey has also
started a program where the inmates are being taken out for city clean up. Gerald also reported that Lacey had just completed their second Business Watch Program. This program is becoming very big in the Lacey area and
they are having large amounts of businesses applying for the class. Lacey is
also preparing for their 3^rd Southeast – Asian Citizen’s Academy and their second Latino Citizen’s Academy. They have had problems getting this
program off the ground.

Region 4: Larry Nelson.
Lewis County just finished their second citizen’s academy. Lewis County
won an award from the Washington State Traffic Safety Commission on their traffic safety trailer. Lewis County volunteers were selected for another statewide award.

Region 5: Robert McKellar
The Chelan County SO has taken over the police contract for the City of Chelan . Chelan County will be starting a business watch program in Chelan.
The Chelan County SO will be working on building better relations with
their Hispanic Community. They have a Hispanic gang problem showing it’s
face but the Chelan County SO has been shadowing most of the main troublemakers. Chelan County is planning on sending two officers to the 40 Hour Basic Class in Spokane .

Chelan County is looking at bringing the Save International Program to Wenatchee . One parent is required to attend with their child. They plan this
for sometime in the fall. They are planned to do two sessions and brought up
the idea that WSCPA help sponsor the program. Kay was to look into this
program and come back to the next meeting. Bob and Kay told the board

Team in Spokane . They meet every week and volunteers seem to be coming
out of the woodwork. They will address the greater Spokane region with this program. The 40 Hour Basic in Spokane has 16 signed up for the class and
all instructors are signed up. One disappointing thing was that we put
together a 16 Hour Volunteer Class Training but the Spokane Cops decided
not to do it at the last minute and the program didn’t go off.

Steve Duehn wasn’t present and did not have a report. Daryl reported that
the Fourth Walla Walla Area Law Enforcement Citizen’s Academy had just been completed with US Attorney Jim McDevitt as the final day speaker.

the Dell Representatives for a quote. The quote came in at $3,247 and Daryl wanted to be sure that the computer does what we want it to do. Plus Daryl wanted the conference to go off to see how we stand with our available
money. The board voted to increase the amount of money for the new
computer to $3,400. A motion was made by Gerald Abernathy to spend
$3,400 for the new computer. The motion was seconded by Melissa Locke
and the motion passed. Daryl will work to find the best bargain for WSCPA. Kay asked that the computer be bought by June 30, 2004 . A discussion
ensued on buying our own media equipment. We spend a lot of money
every year on items that we could be buying. After some discussion the
board asked Daryl to come back with a tentative plan and some estimated
costs and to see about putting this in a 5 year plan.

New Business:

Crisis Prevention Institute:
Doug took the four day train the trainer course from the Crime Prevention
Institute and was very disappointed. The Institute teaches a lot of hands on
defensive tactics. The training was meant for non law enforcement and Doug
felt it was a disappointment.

needed them. Marion moved that we buy each board member business
cards and it was seconded by Robert McKellar. The motion passed and
the board asked Gerald to buy the cards for the next board meeting.
