August Minutes
One addendum to the
July minutes: It was decided last meeting was in-town uniforms will still be bought via the Park & Rec account since they are covered in the registration fee. Travel uniforms should be via booster account i.e. whether bill comes to the treasurer or we deduct from the ref payment invoices to the P&R account.
Treasurer
Park & Rec account: $6160 - after the estimated field maintenance costs ($13,000) and June registrations ($11,800). The Donelans bill isn't shown in the P&R account yet
Booster account: $16,827 - all ref payments made
Follow up on previous item in P&R account: payment in April $6891.45 + $402.61 labeled as Poptops. Investigation is that Dave ordered kits for $7423.82; the balance of $135 is expected to be related to the kwik goal equipment. As far as reconciling the Park & rec account more accurately. If people copy Peter with the amount being requested to be paid from the P&R account Peter can keep track more closely than waiting for the monthly update and we will be able to catch any unexpected payments.
