Treasurer’s Report: From last meeting it was discussed using the numbers for our projected budget, the farthest back we can go is September, data before then is not solid. Galavan is
going to end up close to actual budget for the year. Due to costs Galavan is and will continue to have people use the Streamline said. In another method of cost savings the HRDC board
will be looking at the costs & benefits of unlimited rides to user. The streamline board has asked if a column could be added that reflected the original approved budget to avoid spending
creep.
