BUDGET-

     The board went over the proposed budget for 1999-2000.  The board discussed the possibility of having a future planning budget instead of a maintenance budget as much needs to be done in White Birch. The board discussed the possibility of setting up a contingency fund with the reserve amount of  $15,276.00 to cover equipment failure etc. Linda Brabant moved to set up a contingency account with the $15,276.00 Don Kuester seconded the motion. All in favor. Carried.

     Roy Miller moved to accept the total proposed budget with the contingency adjustment. Seconded by Steve Bryant for purposes of discussion.

Gail White agreed that we do need a lot of things done but we must move a little slower until we can show some accountability to the membership. A future plan for accountability will be set up and presented to the membership at the Annual Meeting.  A special meeting  is set  for February 13th, right after the regular board meeting, to discuss this. A vote was taken on the motion to accept the proposed budget with contingency adjustment. All in favor.  Motion carried.
