Item One: Site Awards
This was a motion held over from last meeting, the positioning of the awards given to us by other sites was briefly discussed.

Item Three: Monthly Ship Reports.
CSS has been informed of the lack of Monthly Reports coming in from Ship Captains, CSS all agreed that the reports served an important purpose and the lack of them was something to be concerned about. Several remedies were discussed, these included reminding Captains that if for any reason they could not manage to write up a report for a month they were encouraged to ask their First Officer to do so.
A monthly reminder was suggested, an E-Mail would be sent automatically from the CO/FO yahoo list every month.
A vote was called to have monthly reminders sent to all CO’s with the possibility of reprimands for repeatedly failing to turn in reports.

Item Four: The Role of the Academy Commandant.
Commander Trek had requested CSS discuss the role of the Academy Commandant, CSS discussed the duties carried out by the AC, and discussed who would be best in CSS for the AC to report too. It quickly was mentioned that Admiral McCormick would be the best given her vast experience with the Academy and the systems for helping new members.
As for the duties carried out by the AC it was decided that Commander Trek was already doing a very good job and had already enacted some very good new programs.
A vote was held to confirm that the AC would report to Admiral McCormick.
