Treasure's Report: Karis Pierce Karis reviewed the TreasurerŐs Reports for September and October 2006. She read the Cash Balance Report. The Asset Reserve is now $100,757.30. The Comparative Income Statement gives you a clear picture of whether we are within budget on each particular item. A member asked if we had a policy on who can talk to the Attorney to keep costs down. Bill said yes we have a policy. Everyone who has a question for the Attorney must either go through him or Ann Marie. Bill will have a report on the breakdown of attorney fees at the end of the year.

Office: Bill Massey The new office is now open. We are in the process of getting a permit to remove the old office. The new office is still coming in at a cost of less than $65,000. Its insured value is $220,000. We were closed for 3 days to move. Bay Alarm, Ducor and the computer and copier people came out and set up the equipment in the new office. The Architectural Committee now has its own office. There is a Conference Room available for meetings and Maintenance has an office in the new building. We will be having an open house for the new office on Friday, December 22nd from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm. We want to give credit to the maintenance crew and the office personnel for getting the new office up and running. Anders wanted a report on what the maintenance wages for setting up the new building were. Bill said he would report that information at the next meeting. Bill said it would take the maintenance crew approximately one week to remove the old office. He also said that since we do not normally run a full crew in the winter, it will help the guys by giving them more hours and save us money by having our crew do the labor of removing the old office. The new office has a County Occupancy Permit and all items including the ramp have passed inspection. A member asked if the new office has gutters. Bill said he would check. Bill made a motion to move the January Meeting to the 9th since the 2nd would be too close to the holiday. Jerry seconded the motion and it was passed with a vote of the Board.

Post Office: Karis Pierce - The holidays have increased the business at the Post Office. We have new windows at the Post Office. We also have hired a new employee, Shivaun Bray. We are doing a review of the possible options for the Post Office, including home delivery. We have discussed the possibility of longer hours for the Post Office during the holidays, but Sherry did not feel it would help them and that they have tried it in the past and a couple extra hours did not help enough members to make it worth the extra cost. We are open Saturday for those who work during the week. They now have a Postmaster in Corning and we are going to update our contract. The Budget Committee will be working on that problem.

Maintenance: Sadie Bentz Sadie was not present to give a report

Airport: Doug Dugger There were 44 operations and 3 Medivacs. Remember to get the forms at the office for the FlightCare. We have a group rate and it is only $25.00 per year (individual or per family) through Enloe. Hanger Insurance covers the Association against liability, if a visiting airplane gets damaged by the Association.

Fire Station: No report this month.

Architectural Committee: Dee Oliver Dee said it is nice for the Architectural Committee to have a room in the new office. We are now short a member and need to have people volunteer to be on the committee. We are going to let the new Board in January pick the committee. We are sending out 30 day arbitration letters to chronic offenders. They can either clean up their property or we will take them to court.

Budget Committee: Penny McGee Penny mentioned that they will be loosing 2 committee members and flyers need to be posted. Transfer Station: Cathy Johnson said that the second dumpster has been removed. She thinks we still need it.
