Dennis called the
meeting to order, and Kathy read a draft of the April 18th, 2013
Budget Meeting.
Dennis opened by suggesting
the $79,425. in the budget to pay Reedsport should be increased $20,000. (to
read $99,425). Rather than make a cash payment in April, we used a credit as
per the Apr 16th email agreement with Reedsport. As for the months of May and June,
Dennis recommends to also use credit for those 2 months. This ends the fiscal year
adjusting cash balance in the budget by $20,000. This brings the beginning cash to 184,055.
In negotiating with
Reedsport, we’re not paying currently. Talks regarding next fiscal year are
ongoing, because this fiscal year is over. Dennis asked for comments,
explaining there will be more information during the executive session.
George asked, why the
discrepancy? Dixie explained, due to flow rates, the estimates for flow rates
are more than a year out. Not behind monetarily, just behind on the rate of
flow. Flow rates are based off last years’ usage, not our current flow rates.
Dixie said the contract with Reedsport has expired. As we go forward, Gardiner
Sanitary District will continue to pay on a month-to-month basis honoring the expired
contract.
George motioned to accept
the suggested changes to the budget numbers from $79,425. to $99,425. Kathy
seconded. Motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
The group then set up
budget hearing to go over changes after executive session. George motioned the
group meet again on Thursday, June 6th, 2013 at 6pm. Kathy seconded,
and it was passed by unanimous voice vote.
Dennis then asked for
further comments? There were none.
George moved to
approve the budget with changes. Kathy seconded and the meeting was adjourned.
