F. Treasurer’s Report: (second meeting of the month)
(CM) DILLON-In the laydown packet is the executive summary for this treasurer’s report. You will notice that some items are on the high side with explanations. The Harbor fund will improve once reimbursements are received and annual moorages are collected later this year. Also, the additional employee during the summer months has increased the expenses, but will level out as the year goes on. The dock fund expenses are elevated due to the fuel dock installation. Cassidi Little is here and we would be happy to answer any questions you may have. We ordered enough paper products such as toilet paper and towels to last for a year. We are hoping that buying it in bulk will save us some time and money.
