The various ramifications were discussed.  Many directors felt the extra time would be beneficial for some of the projects that are in the planning stages.  We have established our legal framework with the IRS and the State so existing efforts can continue. 

Rob moved to accept the Affiliation effective July 1, 2014.  Julia seconded.  All voted in favor.

Christina moved to adjourn.  Rob seconded.  All agreed.
