Mr. Larch went over his memo to the Board regarding Allan Jones' promotion.
He feels Mr. Jones has done a great job and should be recognized for it.

has done an outstanding job and thanked him for his excellent work. They
did not feel, however, that a job description change was in order. Mr.

upon action by the Board. The Board will review..it. They also had concern
for the creation of a position for an individual.

will be present May 6 to go over it with the Board. Mr. Larch noted that
plant performance reviews were done in January. APPA convention will be
