3) Treasurer’s Report:
Florian handed out and reviewed the Treasurer’s Report. The General Account Balance is
approximately $12,819 including the Fish Fun, and the Reserve Account balance is about
$13,643. Florian paid three invoices including Desert Mountains. Outstanding invoices total
about $6000-$7000 including one for our PO Box and one which John has from Leeder
Construction for the crack seal. The Reserve Account will cover most of the cost of a Seal Coat
on the lane’s asphalt. We expect to spend more this fall for a chipper ($500), additional speed
bumps ($600), and possibly some sort of pothole repair. Plus we need to leave a little bit in the
General Account for early season snow removal. Leeder will let us pay some of the cost of the
seal coat in 2025 after annual dues come in.
