Secretary’s Report

        Mike sent the Minutes of the December 2^nd Board Meeting via e-mail to the Board Members Sunday evening, 01/05/25.  Heather moved that we accept the Minutes and Andy seconded the motion.  It was unanimously approved.

Treasurer’s Report

        We reviewed the Treasurer's report for December 2024

Account Balances, as of 12/31/24
Checking $ 2,779.00 Savings   $    35.28 Fidelity    $30,299.25 (Money Market)

• Dexter highlighted the fact that we still have the original $30,000 of principal that was originally transferred to the Fidelity account in March ’23 and are continuing to earn significant interest compared to the Savings account as we had been.
• The interest earned over the 21 months of $2,700 is all we transferred.
• The cost of the new well was $20,915 and irrigation repairs were $3,471 for combined total of $24,386.  Only $2,000 of this was budgeted for 2024.  By utilizing the funds in the Savings account and interest earned, we were able to cover the unexpected overage of almost $22,400 without touching the $30,000 that was originally transferred to the Fidelity Money Market account.  We are proud of the fact we did not need a special assessment to cover these necessary and unexpected additional expenses.
• Mike made a motion to approve the Treasurer’s Reports and Jeanne seconded it.  The Board unanimously approved it.
