spring.
Margaret expressed the need
for an activities director. We had
talked to Sharon Phillips but she will be unable to accept due to health
issues.
Those wishing to help out
with security for the upcoming season were instructed to see Bob Mills.
Margaret explained that we were
working on a new policy for how violations would be handled in the future. In the past, violations were addressed with
members being banned from the park. This
is being changed to a system of fines. Karen
Childers asked how much the fines would be.
Margaret used an example of $25.00.
Larry Swab stated that $25.00 was not enough. Margaret explained that the amount of the
fine would depend on the severity of the violation…The Board will put guide
lines in place and post it. Pat Jordan
asked that this be included in the notice that went out with the invoices.
Joannne Mociolek gave the
treasurer’s report. The qtrly report and
regular reports were posted on the bulletin board. The checking account = $11,662.80, Savings =
$106,822.44, and the CD = $41,311.55.
The electric is our largest expense being $7,000. month
and she’s expecting the property tax bill in February. Fred also mentioned the price of propane
going up.
Joanne also stated that she
wants to get the kitchen open for business this spring. Joanne and Pat Detrick will cook 1 week-end a
month and will make sure that food is available for other volunteers to cook. Please see Pat or Joanne if you’re interested
in helping out.
Margaret informed the
members that there was a list on the bulletin board of items needed for the
kitchen for those who would like to donate.
