3. The November Meeting Minutes of the H.O.A. Board were approved following a motion by Sandra, Heather seconded, and Dexter abstained followed by a unanimous vote.

4. Treasurer’s Report
   1. Dexter distributed the treasurer’s reports via e-mail of income & expenses through December 1, 2022.
   2. Checking Account Balance was $10,155 (as of 12/01).
   3. Savings Account Balance was $43,531 (as of 12/01).
   4. We have not transferred any money from Savings to cover expenses that exceeded income since we still had not transferred excess revenue from 2021 to savings.
   5. As indicated, for several months, we have been over budget due to the extraordinary expenses for irrigation and the pond well and pump.
   6. A discussion was held regarding transferring some of the H.O.A.’s savings account into a C.D. to earn interest since the current savings account rate is so low.  Dexter will look for the best rate to transfer $30,000 of our savings as an exploratory effort and will report back next month.
   7. Paul Clancy evaluated the entry lights and pond timers and controls and corrected the problems saving the H.O.A. about $600 or $700 compared to hiring an electrician.
