TREASURER’S REPORT

  1. We will finish up the year with just under $5,000 in funds. This is a little under than where we have finished in prior years due to the legal expenses.

MAINTENANCE

  1. Towne and Country is in the middle of fixing all the fence sections along Sno-Cascade Drive, there are still a few more boards to fix. Probably about 4-5 more. Cheryl will go out and put an X on the boards that still need replacing.

OLD BUSINESS

  1. Holiday Decorations of Merit
    1. The judging will take place on December 14. After judging judges will meet at Bill’s for beverages and snacks, everyone is welcome to judge and to bring an appetizer.
  2. Rentals
    1. Guimont – Bill attended the hearing on Friday, November 5. This was the Motion for Summary Judgment that the Guimont’s filed. We also filed a cross motion.
                                          i.    Both sides were able to argue their points in front of the judge. Because there are facts in contention the judge could not rule for either side. The case now progresses to forward.

                                        ii.    Sherman Knight did ask opposing council where do we go from here and Mr. Grafstra responded perhaps I will appeal.

                                       iii.    Our next step will be to depose Melissa Withey. Melissa was probably served today.

                                       iv.    We discussed if we would be willing to make an offer to Guimont’s to settle. We decided that rather than negotiate we would make a single offer. It would be a single and final offer. Any additional legal fees will be added to this number to encourage Guimont’s to settle quickly. It was moved and seconded to make an offer of $40,000. This was approved.

    1. Sharma – There is no news on this situation.
    2. Warner – We still have not heard back from Jason Warner or his attorney.
  1. We did inform the Scouts that we will not be offering a gratuity to them this year. 
  2. We also talked to Brian and received the names of the 2 people who have worked for him for the entire year. We will pay each of these individuals $50.
