JULY EXEC BOARD MEETING – Wednesday July 14th
JULY BOARD MEETING – Wednesday July 28th at 7:45 PM
The Minutes of the May Board meeting are attached as well as a copy of the FY10/11 Budget as passed at the last meeting. The budget is in balance as well as can be forecast at this point in time. It is worth noting that as a result of the continued fiscal consciousness of the staff and the Board, the expense side of the budget for the fiscal year starting on July 1st is approximately lower than the budget for the previous year.
If you cannot attend the meeting , but have questions about any of these topics, please feel free to send an email to Ron Ruebusch. Please note that from June 23rd to July 11th I will be out of the country on vacation and will have limited access to email so a response to questions might take a while, but I will get back to you.
Sincerely,
Ron Ruebusch
