Will need to do more work on basement and water situation\, timing to be determined.  Suggested putting a small water heater in the bathroom.  We selected elements from the 3 plans; Gary will create a Plan D which incorporates our suggestions. \nOrder of activities for the spring:  (1) Mike will get hold of Darshan\, Amanda will call another electrician to get recommendation on best placement of load center.  (2) Gary will revise to create Plan D\, and add in some electrical needs. (3) Get estimates of costs from 3 electricians. (4) Move bathroom walls\, remove tub and vanity and sell on Craigslist.  (5) Aim at jacking building end of May to improve load-bearing capacity and to level structure. \n Budget needs re: cabin capital projects – cannot be confirmed until we have an electrician’s quote and determine location and length of handicapped ramp. \n Old Business — Finance \nAnnual Reports progress/ internal audit – No further progress over spring break.  Initial review completed from October 2011 – present. More thorough review commenced from October 2011 into March 2012. \nPick-Click-Give program fee – paperwork signed by Amanda (President)\, and Monique (Vice-President).  Will be mailed with check. \nAlaska Library Association membership fee – has not been paid\, have not received an invoice.  Will need to double-check with Susan as past Treasurer as to what happened. \nHale & Assoc. Insurance – James and Mindy met with Richard Hale on Tuesday\, March 15.  The connex unit was not included in the policy last year\, and apparently some or all of that value was included as being at the library at 3619 Main St. Work is ongoing to update the new policy. \nInventory of Restricted Funds – has been begun\, but a snag was hit identifying one or two people’s names from 2012 donations to Ruth Jasper Children’s Fund. \nNew business — Finance \n Welcome new members – due to a misunderstanding\, the 2 anticipated new members thought the meeting was on Wednesday\, so did not come.  Following topics not discussed since the hope was to enlist their aid in completing them:  Begin developing budget\, Mid-year report\, Formalize internal audit for GVEA GoodCents grant\, Collections request for online catalog help \nQuick Books – ST and Mindy reviewed some of the entries from Quick Books non-profit 2014\, and decided it would be better to start over fresh rather than try to correct and revise them. \nMeeting adjourned 8:15 pm. \next meeting will be on March 29 or 30\, depending on when the new members can come. \n  \n  \n  \n

A lot was accomplished\, but there’s lots left to do. \nSome dedicated funds for the Clausen cabin have been held and not spent in their appropriate fiscal year. \nA lot of catch up in reporting and filing has been accomplished. \nThis year’s Community Revenue Fund was received. \nMet in a joint meeting with facilities last week in order to facilitate the utilization of CRS funds prior to June 30 deadline. \nGary created three potential floor plans to submit to the board. \nThe projects related to this years’ funding have already begun including replacing doors. Other projects\, board approved\, are on the schedule for this Spring. Volunteer labor has been utilized. Thanks to Hans Molder and Eric Glos. \nA total of $5\,774.21 is dedicated to the Clausen cabin from previous year allocations. \nWe were able to submit final paperwork using actual expenses\, however moving forward we will be doing designated projects in the appropriate timelines. \nCurrent projects include remodeling the bathroom and creating a locking office. \nAlaska Library Association Membership Fee \nNo invoice has been received\, but it was due last fall. \nDeirdre will follow up. \nHale & Associates Insurance \nJames met with them over spring break. They are still working on numbers. \nThey are asking questions about the storage trailer. It is not currently insured and needs to be added to the policy. James is handling. Over-insurance is a concern.. Do our books need covered? We need to keep a limited budget in mind. Our main concerns are covering our structures and liability. \nInsurance coverage should be brought to the board. \nInventory of Restricted Funds \nLimited time to review. Need the numbers tracked in the updated Quickbooks. \nCreation of last years’ budget – overhaul of Quickbooks account \nMonique will take Mindy’s numbers\, the bank statements and start our Quickbooks over from scratch. Will work on the creation of a Chart of Accounts first. In particular restricted funds are needed. Also need to know what year we start. Will begin by finding the old computer with the old Quickbooks\, and enter them into the newly created Quickbooks\, Non-profit edition on the PC. \nSuggest reinstating the practice where the treasurer enters transactions into Quickbooks and president reconciles monthly. \nOnce all the past numbers are sorted we can calculate for interest. \nWe have four restricted funds: \n\nBookshelves\nPassiv Haus/new library\nRuth Jasper Children’s Fund\nGazebo – indigogo\nEndowment\n\nInternal Audit update \nWe need a solid internal audit in order to apply for additional funding sources. \nClausen Projects \nWe don’t have the full funds available for the projects on the Clausen cabin list. \nNew Business \nReport for BOD meeting – April 6 \n(Met to paint instead of meeting in early March) \nJTEL goals poster/estimates created \nHeld joint meeting with facilities to designate priority projects \nSecured safe deposit box \nAlaska Community Foundation – need to designate fund advisor \nBudget development \nEstimated operating costs \nCreated a summary of last year\, basis for this year \nFuel will be down \nActual expenses were $6\,000 \nHave around $13\,000 for operating expense \nNeed fundraisers \nWe are going to run shy of restricted funds in order to complete Clausen projects \nSome revenue could come from sales e.g. stove \nMindy can do this\, so long as other duties are relieved \nQuickbooks \nMonique will tackle – determine start date\, opening balance \nMid-year report \nIs this something we want?
