Draft Minutes of the Special DVLA Board Meeting of March 13, 2012
The special DVLA Board Meeting was held at the Community Center. Three landowners were in attendance.
Board Members attending: Bill King, Mac Thomson, Terry Taylor, Jim Johnson
Absent: Julie Cropper
President Bill King called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.
1. Approval of agenda
Mac Thomson MADE A MOTION that the agenda be approved. Jim Johnson SECONDED the motion, and the motion carried.
2. Continuing Compilation of the 2012-13 Fire Department Proposed Budget
The sales tax (approximately $8,000) on the 1992 Beck truck needs to be paid and the vehicle licensed. Jim Johnson MADE A MOTION, and Terry Taylor seconded the motion that Bill King look into the possibility of any tax exemption by the State. If this is not available, the monies are to be taken out of any excess in the 2011-12 budget or, if necessary, the retained earnings of the association.
The line items of the proposed fire department budget were reviewed and left as listed. Chief Talbot was to review his budget again and determine if there are any excess budgeted monies for the fiscal year 2012-13 that could be eliminated.
A policy was set that all invoices received for the fire department be first given to the fire chief, before payment, so that he may indicate from which account the bill is to be paid.
3. Continuing Preparation for the May 19, 2012, Annual Meeting
It was determined that all but $200 of the monies budgeted for social events should be eliminated, with the $200 remaining to be set aside for the annual meeting.
Jan Yergensen volunteered to take care of the refreshments for the annual meeting.
4. Comment and Discussion by Landowners:
One landowner suggested that previous budgets be looked at in an attempt to lower the bottom lines.
5. Adjournment:
Jim Johnson MADE A MOTION to adjourn the meeting which was SECONDED by Terry Taylor. The meeting was adjourned at 8:20 p.m.
