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.

meeting, but that he will make sure Charles as Vice-Chair stands
there in his stead.

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….

place and

Chuck stated
did not have anything in place. Paula argued that was set up
previously, but if it “makes everyone feel better we can do it
again”.
