Secretary’s Report

        Mike sent the Minutes of the November 4^th Board Meeting via e-mail to the Board Members Monday morning, 12/02/24. Dexter and Jeanne identified a mistake that Mike fixed regarding the next Annual Meeting (copy/paste error).  Jeanne moved that we accept the Minutes and Heather seconded the motion.  It was unanimously approved.

Treasurer’s Report

        We reviewed the Treasurer's reports for both October and November 2024

Account Balances, as of 10/31/24	Account Balances, as of 11/30/24
Checking $  4,980.91 Savings   $      35.26 Fidelity    $30,082.88 (Money Market)	Checking $  3,611.06 Savings   $       35.28 Fidelity    $30,191.78 (Money Market)

• Dexter transferred the interest earned in the Fidelity money market account through October of $2,231 and $1,000 from the savings account to ensure funds were available in the checking account to cover the expected & budgeted expenses for November and December.
• The cost of the new well was $20,915 and irrigation repairs were $3,278 for combined total of $24,193.  Only $2,000 of this was budgeted for 2024.  By utilizing the funds in the Savings account and interest earned, we were able to cover the unexpected overage of almost $22,200 without touching the $30,000 that was originally transferred to the Fidelity Money Market account.  We are proud of the fact we did not need a special assessment to cover these necessary and unexpected additional expenses.
• Through November we’ve earned back additional interest of $191.78 in the Fidelity account.
• Mike made a motion to approve the October & November Treasurer’s Reports and Andy seconded it.  The Board unanimously approved it.
