Discussion of alternate ways to handle recent Gessic Settlement. The goal is to have comparable figures to analyze going forward. Research will be done for next meeting.

Discussion of Service Department taxes and fringe benefits. Bernice to analyze for the next meeting

Conclusion of Financial Statement review is that overall we are showing positive comparisons of actual to budget. This is primarily due to RITA revenues being over $140,000 in excess of the YTD budget. Because of the nature of the revenues and the manner in which the revenues are received we can not conclude that this trend will be maintained for the entire year.
