Board of Director Meeting Minutes Questions & Answers from the Motor Vehicle Dept Membership Application 10 The Presidents Corner You know, I ve never written a President s Corner message before; so don t start in with a lot of high expectations! I must begin by expressing my hearty thanks to ALL of the committees and KACM members who pitched in to help make this a very memorable conference. Our mission was to make sure that Polly would be proud of us. From the remarks on the evaluation sheets, I think we accomplished our goal. We were not without our issues, but overall, I believe the conference was successful. There were 131 registrations for this conference. I believe that s a record for a fall conference. Way to go! Conference planning is a lot like planning a wedding. Once we find a location that will house the attendees and have space for all of the activities, we must plan for food, speakers and entertainment. I have to say that finding quality speakers is probably the toughest task. It's always difficult to gauge whether someone will be a good presenter when no one has seen the presentation. For example, the evaluations were not overwhelmingly good for Donna Beaudet. Her scores ranged all over the board. Some thought she was very good, while others thought she had good material but could have trimmed the presentation down some, and others didn't like her at all. On the other hand, Tim Holsinger, who really was the third choice on the list, was a big hit. I didn't get any negative comments about him at all. Susan and Harry, from the motor vehicle department, were well received also. Everyone always likes their stuff. The idea of getting our questions to them beforehand was popular as well. I think we could probably fill up 3 hours with them, but I m afraid they would never come back! Susan mailed me all of the questions that were on the sheets we gave them and they should be published elsewhere in this newsletter. We also got good comments for Yoga with Flora, even though we lost quite a few people. Many of the evaluation sheets said that they could only attend for one day and even though the yoga would have been good for all of us who have stress in our lives, I understand why some didn t attend. I composed a letter to the manager of the hotel. I'm sure he won't be happy with my remarks, but his people really fell down on the job regarding the food. That was really the only thing we took a severe hit on, but the blame was on the hotel and not the association. Our choices were acceptable, but the preparation was poor. Well, back to that reference to weddings. I am of the opinion that if there isn t a big woops! or some sort of embarrassing moment, it s not memorable. I think our woops was having Mr. Holsinger thinking we expected him to share his room with Ms. Beaudet. I sure hope Tim s wife has a sense of humor!! I know Polly would have said something like what a crack-up. So, guess that's the down and dirty review. My deepest thanks to all who stepped up and helped out in every way. I have never worked in an organization where I've never had anyone say no when asked to help out! You guys are amazing!

8 PAGE 8 VOLUME 32 QUESTIONS FROM MOTOR VEHICLE DEPARTMENT (These are questions ask by the clerks at the fall conference in Emporia) Is there a current list of moving violations? KAR and also in the court clerk manual. If we are unable to locate the original copy of a citation, can we make a copy of the officer s citation to prosecute the offender? Yes, and send the abstract of conviction to the Motor Vehicle Department. How long does it take the State to process cases of underage driving especially the drivers licenses when they are sent in to the State? 7 10 business days What if a Drivers License is lost by the State? Obtain a duplicate at the defendant s expense. Should we send in DL s when we suspend DL s for days? Yes When we suspend DL s can we suspend from date to date? instead of for say 30 days or 90 days? No. Is the State suspending on No Drivers License? See KAR a Is No Drivers License a moving violation? No. If someone comes in & pays off fines and reinstatement fee & the court mails in the reinstatement form to the State, is it okay to tell them it will take 10 days to 2 weeks for the state to get them reinstated? We tell them 10 days from the date it was mailed. If someone is suspended on a Kansas DL but tells us they have a valid DL in 2 other states, should we get the name of the person and let the State know? Yes, send the information in writing please. What is the procedure for suspension on gas drive offs? 1 st record on DL; 2 nd 90 day suspension; 3 rd 1 yr suspension. Is the State ever worried about the amount that courts charge for fines & costs? No. When a person wants to walk their reinstatement through, how would you like that handled since our agency has the reinstatement papers? Give them a receipt with the case #, paid in full (this should include the reinstatement fee being paid). On abstracts that we send (if the defendant is found guilty after failing to successfully complete their diversion, why do we get them back asking if their diversion has been revoked when we have already stated their guilt in the abstract? If a defendant has failed to successfully complete a diversion for a dui, send in an amended abstract using the term revoked or diversion terminated. When is the correct time to send in the abstract of conviction? You are required to send in abstracts within 10 days. DUI diversion contracts, do you want a copy of the contract sent to the MVD? No, just use the abstract of conviction. [The KBI needs a copy of the contract.] Is there ever going to be a time that court clerks will be able to access the driving records on file with the State via internet? If this is available, how do we go about setting this up? You can contact From the time a suspension form is sent in, how long does it take to appear on the certified driving record? 7 10 business days. How does the State justify accepting $50.00 reinstatement fees and not reinstating the DL because the charge doesn t match? The only way we usually find that there is a problem is the defendant calls to say he has been arrested for driving with a suspended license. Make sure the case # on the reinstatement form is the same as on the original suspension that was sent in by the court. We are to accept the reinstatement order if cases match up. If you have any problem with this or anything else, call Susan 785- (Continued on page 9)

Do we need a letter of affidavit from his insurance company? What is the motor vehicle department s stance on this? The insurance company will reject & deny. Send back to us (MVD).
