Discussion of the bank balances, expenses to budget, and cost saving measures

source when appropriate and purchased locally when possible.
The following motion was made by Bob: Only the General Manager and “on
site” Managers are to make any purchases for the park.
Motion was passed unanimously.
Bookkeeping is to be outsourced sometime in the future to allow a more cost
effective process and to free up Barbara’s time.
The 2010 budget was explained and discussed with the Board with the emphasis
on building up our carryover to between $30,000 and $50,000 within the next two
years.
Motion was made by Milt to approve the 2010 budget and was passed
unanimously.
- To go along with the 2010 budget the appropriate assessment
was discussed for the 2010 year.
It was moved by Gregg Gilbert, that the 2010 assessment be increased by
$25.00/year to $260.00/year.
Motion was passed unanimously.
- Park operations report was given by Ben Leech:
- The staffing is complete and a new staggering of the shifts
has created a 100 hour savings each week. This should result in a
significant cost savings in payroll this year. There are no new repairs
needed so far this year and planned improvements are currently on hold.
- Update on “Triangle Property”:
- According to our consultants for this project there is enough money
received by them to complete the testing required by Lahontan this year.
Due to the State of California not funding any projects at this time we
may have to wait for final approval until such time that we can have the
testing and infusion process completed.
- The ozone infusion was showing great results and it should take
approximately $70,000 to $100,000 in State Super fund funding to
complete the approval process.
- Board requested that new “no trespassing” signs be posted on the
property to maintain the continued understanding that this is private
property.
- Board discussed making sure there is no unauthorized use of our
property by anyone, including watering lawn &/or plants, and any
material items must be removed. Board requested that new “no
trespassing” signs be posted on the property to maintain the continued
understanding that this is private property.
- The new TRPA “shore zone” ordinances were discussed and a copy of
the exempted projects from the ordinance was given to the Board. The new
TRPA buoy fees are still in litigation with no results at this time.
- Beverly gave to the Board the cost proposal for the new signage for
the park. The project is put on hold until the proper funding can be
established.
- Insurance policies update was given to the board. The renewal
date for most of the policies is in August so we are out for bids at this
time and will get the renewal figures soon.
- Web site has posted all past meeting minutes and everything is up to
date at this time.
- Possible projects for the purchase or lease of the “triangle
property” was discussed by the Board.

was taken at this time.
