Officer Reports<\/p>\n
Secretary\u2019s Report (Amy Z. sub for Matt S.): approved as read.<\/p>\n
Treasurers Report (Jay D.):<\/p>\n
Jay is conducting research about our account. The check registry was a jumbled mess and didn\u2019t match the bank records. There are missing statements from April-July 2009. Around that time, we had overdraft fees of $125 for an insufficient fund of $27.00. The bank will charge a $30\/hour \u201cresearch\u201d fee to get missing statements.<\/p>\n
Rent–We have not paid rent since last July. There is also a discrepancy in our rent amount. The check registry indicates the District 21 rent is $15\/month. The DCM, however, spoke to the landlord this morning and he stated our rent is $10\/month.<\/p>\n
In:
\nSeeking Solutions–$239.64
\nSufficient Substitute\u2014$49.98<\/p>\n
Out:
\nReimbursement for Alt. DCM for March Area-$98.53
\nGroup Balance (including new incoming disbursements and also paying rent for 9 months at $15\/month)–$361.33.<\/p>\n
Motion: We pay $10\/mth rent from Aug. 2009-April 2010. Passed.
