Members were not aware of the planned move and were concerned other problems may be created. After much discussion, the members agreed to formulate a plan to ensure their concerns were heard at the County level. Being fully aware of the need to prioritize, the Association feels like clear and full communication is a matter of safe= ty and deserves the highest priority. <o:p>&n= bsp;</o:p> &= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; Members discussed the tag machine that is currently owned is in need of replacement. There was much discussion regarding the cost of a new machine, in excess of $600 was mentioned. Jeff Jones reported Sherman was considering the purchas= e of a machine. He suggested if the Association covered materials, the tags coul= d be made on the Sherman machine. This item will be placed on the agenda at the = next meeting for discussion. <o:p>&n= bsp;</o:p> &= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; Associated with the discussion of new tag machine, members discussed the amount of ann= ual dues. Donnie Glenn said $25 a year was not enough to accomplish some of the tasks needed. Others mentioned the departments that had not paid their dues should do so and that would impact finances as well. A motion was made to increase annual dues to $100 and members approved the motion. &nb= sp; = &nb= sp; <o:p> </o:p> Announc= ements &= nbsp; Allen Vols was thanked for all his good work during his
