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. Bill
mentioned that the 2 dumpsters were not getting filled
and Greenwaste had need of the 2nd dumpster elsewhere.
Unfinished Business:
Doug Dugger offered a thank you to Camelot for fixing
the fence behind them at the airstrip. They have brought
a key for their new gate to the Association Office.
