Finance Report Chris presented the Finance report reviewing the revenues and expenditures to date. He noted that all of the expenses were as anticipated and budgeted. He asked the board how they would prefer he account for capital purchases such as the MULE; either within the most applicable budget line-item or under a separate expense category “Capital Expenses”. Eric said cramming them into the existing budget would inflate those line items way above the approved amounts. All agreed that special request, board approved capital expenditures should be accounted for in a unique category. Chris said he would do just that on the next finance report.

He had received price quotes for incandescent and LED versions from DiJulio Supplies which is the BID vendor for the holiday spiders. The garland would be custom manufactured to the same measurements of our existing garland. Chris said he would like to purchase 10 to 12 new strands. Due to the lack of a quorum, Mike suggested a motion and second be made to be put to the entire board for a vote by e-mail. ACTION: Ileana Indreland moved to purchase additional streetlamp holiday garland not to exceed $2600. Mike Basile seconded the motion. Six approving votes were received by e-mail on October 17 and 18, 2012. MULE ATV Update Chris presented the table below detailing the finances of purchasing the new Kawasaki MULE. In all, Summit Motors extended $788 in savings from the standard pricing for the purchase, delivery, assembly, and accessories. /
