Treasury Report – Wayne Nenninger
Treasurers report was accepted. Dan Morrison noted that the report lacks YTD and budget info.
Current avg annual income is about $15k, nondiscretionary spending uses virtually all of it. There is no funding available for discretionary spending (sealing, repairs, upgrades, nada). We are expected to run a $5k annual deficit once Dave & Terry can no longer mow.

No interest voiced in any other chair position, either.
