Treasurer's Report-Marlene Collen
Copies of the
report were available. As of
Our general account total income was $14,632.99. Our total expenditures were $14,861.44. This is down from last year because a number of items can be paid out of mission checking. Our income this year, memberships are up and rentals were down a bit, we are doing better with the pancake breakfasts.
The mission checking income is $28,279.36 and expenses $27,549.76. Our income is up in mission checking is up and that is because of the amount we have been given from gambling this year. Our expenses are up because we bought the new television and VCR, some of that was reimbursed by insurance. We had to buy a new freezer, vacuum, we had trouble with the septic, we painted the interior, and we sent the kids to Valleyfair again this year. So, a lot of things have done this year.
The mission savings total income is $22,751.21. and expenses were $26,700.00
Our loan at Community Pride Bank, the original amount of the loan was $28,000.00. To date we have paid $5,583.00. Our current balance is $22,416.05. We must remember that the mission savings account has to be equal to the current balance of the loan or more. We can't withdraw from savings so that we fall below what we own on the loan.
Marge Barrett made a motion to accept the Treasurer's Report subject to audit. Verna Findorf seconded. Motion passed.
George
questioned when the new officers transition. Kathy said that the year-end
information needs to be presented first before the election takes place. Then
they announce new officers. George stated that the year ending is 7/31 so the
new officers should be in place. Bert said start the meeting over and vote,
even though it has not been done like that in the past. Kathy said we were
going to finish the gambling report and move on.
Gambling Report-Marge Barrett
Books for gambling are with the auditor. We gave $22,000.00 to the general account and all the things that Marlene talked about getting done were from the gambling. The balance in the gambling checking account is $17,000.00. That is after we just gave a $12,000.00 check in July.
There is a change in the legislature on how rent is to be paid. The current rent we pay is $1000.00. The total will be determined by how much is sold and that percentage is 10%. For example, if we sell $6000.00, the rent would be $600.00. But because our license is up in March 2004 we will have to continue paying him the $1000.00 until we renegotiate our lease and then he will have to comply with the laws.
Kathy wanted to state that what was taking place was a recap of last year's reports and now we can move on to the elections.
Dick Bullock asked Marge so we will not have gambling after March 2004. Marge clarified that our license to renew is up in March and we then renegotiate our lease. That is when Mike Hill will have to comply. Dick asked if he will continue letting us sell pulltabs. Marge stated that he would have to comply with the state law no matter who is in there. She doesn't think that it will be an issue.
Diana wanted to
make sure that Crystal Longtin got recognized for all
her hard work with the Valleyfair Trip. Diana said
she won an animal for every kid that went. Kathy said

Pig Roast— Marlene said the pig roast worked out well and the way it was served it seemed orderly. Every year something new is learned to make it even better for the next year. Marlene would like to recognize Kathy for all her hard work she does for the community and community center.
