Carrie:
Current balance in checking is $1,863.75
Savings Balance is $3,611.17
We received dues and slip fee payments in June equaling $1,200 total, and we still have some outstanding, so follow-up notices will go out
We have had $173.99 expenses paid out = for Rec Area Rehab.
Upcoming expenses include:
State Farm Insurance bill $425 due in September, I’ll shop around.
Storm water bill of about $119 due
Electric $10 will be auto-debit
Some additional expenses for the shed totaling $30.95 are also pending
Taxes are done for 2014.
Rec Area Rehab:
Also an update from Joe Z: via carrie
Half of roof is done on shed, waiting for cooler weather to finish.
We need the fragmities to be cut down.
We also need to finish capping about 6-8 pilings.
Don: Are we working this weekend?
If he wants to have people work this weekend, let us know. Otherwise we can put it off for another couple of weeks.
Carrie: I’ll let him know.
Jo: We want to make sure that Joe has the support he needs, so please let us know.
Jo:
Should we move forward on any electric down there at the pier?
Others: Said they contacted electricians and no one seems to want such a small job.
Greg: Maybe Joe Herring or Bob Mongold has an electrician in their back pocket they could hook us up with.
Don: I know Joe Herring must, because when he needs an electrician to hook up an AC, he needs it right away.
New Website Needed:
Greg: Comcast sent out a notice that they no longer will be providing web pages as part of their service, which means in October they will take our website offline and delete all the files.
Jason M: I have my own server and I can host.
(Greg and Jason will coordinate to save al files and repost on new website)
Covenants and ByLaws:
Greg: We also need to get covenants and bylaws.
(Note: Give Tom C. a hard copy of the latest)
Tom C. volunteered to get something together based on where things were left off.
Crab Feast Sep 12th:
Jo F:
The next order of business is our Crab Feast on September 12.
Someone will have to step and get the crabs, pay for it, beer and ice etc.
Don cooked the crabs himself last year, steamed them in 2 batches.
Tom: I’ll coordinate it.
Salads, deserts, crabs, hamburgers..
It will be at 1pm at Don and Rita’s house. Saturday October 12.
Tom: I will send out a list and find out who is going to be there and who is bringing what.
Accounting Standards:
Greg: Pier money should be earmarked for the pier and only the pier.
Carrie: The Savings account has always been for the pier.
What we may want to do is shoot a proportion to the saving account.
Greg: We need to have separate accounts or at least line items and should also look at projection and expenses to make sure that we don’t get caught short handed in the future.
Tom: We need to know what is the input and what is the output.
Don: We are going to have a couple hundred dollars on the shed and the pier.
Jo: Our common ground is our common ground and the pier fund should be considered the pier.
Carrie: We have a pier fund, which is our saving and our operating budget, which is our checking account.
Tom: But what we don’t have is a budget.
Don: The grounds down there are for the community, so…
Carrie: The only money that has come out of the pier fund was for the rebuilding of the pier.
Carrie: But the only money that went into the pier fund. Was the assessment, plus the slip fees, plus the deposits for the slips.
Greg: Plus the $1,000 that a number of people contributed.
Carrie: I agree that we should have a budget, and have estimated and realized income and set up a budget based on that.
Jo F: I think that is a good way to go.
(Consensus agrees that we should examine what our annual projected expenses are, what our projected income is, and to try to set budgets based on real numbers.)
Next Meeting:
Tuesday October 13, 7PM at Greg and Beth’s
Meeting Adjourned at 8pmish.
