2) The Minutes of November 25, 2002 meeting were reviewed and approved.
3) Financial Considerations Update-
Final Payment to Net Smart has been made.
Monthly Maintenance Fee of $600 (one year) has been paid by Parent Association.
It was felt that this payment was made sometime around November 2002. Discussion
ensued as to options for next year's Maintenance Fee.
Possible upcoming expenses for this current year were discussed. It was felt
that such expenses would be minimal.
John Schwind reviewed what currently is budgeted in the Parish Budget (2003-2004)
for the Website. It was decided not to ask the Parish for
additional revenues above what is currently proposed.
4) Website Policy Review-Sr. Marilyn presented the revised "St. Joseph the Worker Website Policy." A motion was made and seconded to approve them as presented. The motion passed unanimously. Sr. Marilyn will post them on the website under "About Us/Parish Council- Committee/Technology-Website" and distribute/email to Youth Group and School personnel that are involved in Website development.
5) Website Passwords-As outlined in previous minutes of November 25, 2002, hard
copies of the necessary passwords will be kept in the Parish Office for future
reference. Sr. Marilyn will do this.
6) Website Review-
Usage of Website-Data recording Hits/Visits/Number of unique and total visitors

group was in agreement to pursue the specifics of this at later meetings. Sr.
Marilyn will investigate the cost involved in developing this.
Committee Minutes-The group discussed the pros/cons/challenges of posting Parish
Committee minutes on the Website. The group agreed that it would be worthwhile
to pursue this. Doug will contact all of the current Parish Committee Chairs

website address on all printed mailings, bulletins, stationery, etc. were discussed.
