Chuck ($42.05) and Paula ($138.35) turned in last of their receipts for reimbursements to treasurer.
Debby voiced her concerns that the treasurer report needs to be given in writing to all council members,
not only for our special funding, but also for the general funding.
Sam agreed to it and brought up same questions with issues of only 2005 financials posted on website.
Also stated why the 2nd and 3rd quarterly reports are not done. TJ stated the issue of the interest on the account again.
Still has not been taken off account. Kathy stated that America First Credit Union is working on the issue.
Perhaps we could post the financials on the website with a disclaimer listed explaining the interest issue.
Paula asked why the credit union has not taken care of this issue by now.
Expressed her concerns that is does not take this long for a bank or credit union to clear up this issue.
If it does then we are at the wrong facility.

RDA Meeting---Kevin stated that Charles has the rough draft of letter to be sent to business’s inviting them to this meeting.
Chuck stated that Al Brinton has also offered to help notify them. Chuck suggested making the letter a generic addressee.
Kevin stated he will be out of town and not able to attend the meeting, but that he will make sure Charles as Vice-Chair stands there in his stead.
Paula and Sam will take care of refreshments.

Financial Oversite Committee Seat---tabled for discussion at the 9-5-06 executive meeting.


New Business—HB40---Chuck reported that he attended a meeting regarding this issue.
Was just a brainstorming meeting regarding the language that the bill is written in.
Reported it was suggested from Ann Ober that the un-incorporated areas join in with the cities and
all for participation in the township status survey. This way no harsh feelings will be created.
Chuck asked for council input back to him by the next meeting he will attend on 8-17-06 at 5:00 PM.

Community Christmas Party---Kathy reported that she is not asking to plan it,
but that council members should start giving it some thought as to whether we want to have one, when, etc….
Paula suggested that we do have one and mentioned it has been in the past the last council meeting in December.
Suggested it be for the community. We still have some special funding we can use for it.
