Treasurers Report:
Angie Rhyne – Outgoing Treasurer
The prior year (2009) statement of financial position was presented and discussed.
Note worthy items:
- The pool began the year with approximately $2,600 in the checking account and ended 2009 with $6,600. There are also two CDs worth approximately $10,400.
- Utilities came in under budget because the pool had anticipated an increase in natural gas prices when the price actually was less; also the City of Richland utilities were substantially less than expected due to turning off utilities for most of the year.
- $600.00 was budgeted for landscaping but when the board solicited estimates from landscaping firms they far exceeded what was in the budget.
Noteworthy items:
- $2,500 has been set aside to purchase a CD for the pool.
- $2,300 has been budgeted for pool improvements.
- The payroll budget has increased because lifeguard hours will be added from 10:00 am-12:00 noon Monday-Saturday for the 2010 season.
- The board purchased Quickbooks upon the recommendation of auditors.
The 2010 budget was approved by the assembled members.
Plans and Projects
The board will have to take a phased approach to making safety improvements, repairing the gazebo, and attending to the landscaping. The board is interested in hearing from the membership about possible landscaping options. Trees and other vegetation are overgrown and they drop leaves and other debris into both the pool and the wading pool. It is a mess to clean out of the pool and is affecting pumps and pool systems. In addition the sprinkler system must be updated and the parking lot is in need of repairs.
Marty Arntzen mentioned that pool system schematics are in the pump room and will come in handy for these projects.
