Re: Board of Director Meetings

More | Report Post

Dear Ms. Kujanson,

I am a court reporter who has prepare minutes for the City
of West Miami, Florida, for the last 15 years. I can tell
you, although your idea is wonderful, it may not be the best
solution for your situation. With the recent advances in
digital technology, it would be far better to digitally
record your meeting and then go on-line to have the minutes
produced. I would be willing to help you set up your system
if you think you might want to investigate this solution. My
approach is to start simple, then move to address any issues
that may come up. For example, take a small digital tape
recorder, or a small video camcorder, to your next meeting
and set it up. Upload the file to me and we can see what we
have and where we need to go to get the job done. I will
charge $3.50 per page to prepare minutes for this situation.
