  1. Due to a few requests for making fee payments using a web-based format, the cost of this approach is being explored along with charges for other banking services.

  3. As the current fiscal year ends, information is being compiled to establish a budget that delineates the basic fiscal operations required for the College.
  4. The Registrar reported that the College has a total membership of 431, with 79 additional applications in various stages of completion.

These documents have been sent to the national CPAP committee for endorsement.
