SUMMARY:FY 2017 Board Retreat
DESCRIPTION:The annual board retreat was held Sunday November 13\, 2016 at ST’s house.  Members present: Syrilyn Tong (ST)\, Mo Musick\, Amanda Bent\, Mindy Gallagher\, Gary Pohl\, Carrie Correia\, Marina Day and Eli Sonafrank. \nAfter preliminary coffee and mingling\, we all sat down for introductions and a team-building exercise\, then it was down to business. \nHistory and overview of the library: Geared towards the 3 newcomers\, a short presentation on JTEL\, to include very informative histories on John Trigg\, the Clausens’ cabin and Passive House was given by Mo and ST. \nCommittees\, and specifically who wanted to do what\, were then discussed\, with the following division of responsibilities: ST: Finance and policy re-write.  Mo: Finance and business plan re-write.  Amanda: volunteers and memberships. Mindy: Finance and finance portion of policy re-write. Gary: Facilities and grants. Carrie: garden part of Facilities and policy re-write.  Marina: policy re-write. Eli: Facilities. \nMarina stated that she knew of a fundraising workshop\, but couldn’t remember the details. She later advised that it was the Gail Perry workshop sponsored by United Way of the Tanana Valley\, which was held Wed. November 16\, 2016. She attended and the board later voted to pay for her registration fee of $50. \nAnnual goals: The overriding goal was to get the Clausen Cabin up and running. Remaining work was to finish sheetrocking\, taping\, painting\, install the subfloor\, flooring\, building the handicapped ramp\, and fixing the roof (small leaks around the openings). At some point\, the water system will also need to be looked at\, but not required for a functioning building and was tabled for now. \nGrants/fundraising: Since the priority was Clausen\, the majority of the grant-seeking was geared towards that end. These were the grants discussed and the projects the proposals would be written for: GVEA’s GoodCents – Clausen roof project. Sam’s Club – new laptop for finances.  Co-op Lend-a-hand – programs. Deirdre was to continue looking at the Paul Allen Foundation for major funding for the Passive House Phase II. Grant donors would be recognized by publicity\, and depending upon amount\, a plaque on the walls of the library. Giving Tuesday\, a national event to encourage generosity\, was given the go-ahead for Deirdre to write up donation requests to fund JTEL\, since there was so little time to actually do anything for the event (Nov 29). \nAnnual budget: The majority of the budget went towards mandatory functions (utilities\, insurance\, rent\, etc)\, with discretionary funding for Clausen projects. \nAt the conclusion of the retreat\, we moved into a short meeting.

Total of approximately $15\,000\nSend submissions to Amanda Bent\, Monique is too busy.\n\nGrant balances: \n\nThe State Grant will be closed out this month\nAt fiscal year end we had $16\,731.31 remaining in State grant – it will be closed out with the second bill from Trost for PH work ($42\,190)\nBalance from the borough grant is $26\,206.25 not counting the final $3\,500.  This balance will pay the remaining Trost bill\, plus hydro-seeding cost of approximately $3900.\n\nSOA reimbursement account is still going to be sent to regular JTEL account – Mindy will have to transfer funds \nMembership list updates: \n\nTape and Tarp and LiBerry membership sign-ups\, annual meeting etc.\nCreate a Google doc with current members –  Deirdre\nAppoint membership management and updating to the secretary\n\nLatest Stantec bill given to Deirdre for payment and reimbursement – Mindy will transfer funds when received. \nCRS 2017 – $4\,300 this year – propose to BOD allocation as follows: \n\nFuel – $1\,000\nElectricity – $600\nInsurance – $1\,000\nFacilities – $1\,700 (insulating under cabin floor\, begin building wall mounted       bookshelves.\n\nInsurance concerns – Deirdre had proposed allowing an individual to park their tiny house on PH property.  ST checked with Hale and Assoc. on insurance.  They will not insure for residential use. Would need to seek insurance elsewhere. Estimated residential insurance would be additional $400 – $500 minimum.  Monique expressed concerns about putting in copper wiring in an unprotected area.  Committee recommends not allowing this use of property. \nFinancial procedures going into new fiscal year. \n\nChecks and balances are good\nTreasurer creates finance statements and handles transactions\, banking needs\nFinance member\, currently Monique\, will enter Quickbooks and reconcile\n\nFriends of the Library discussion: \n\nDeirdre has proposed breaking the Friends of the Ester Library off into a new corporate entity\, taking with them fundraising\, publicity\, and work at cabin.  This would leave board with PH Capital Campaign and fiduciary duties.  The idea is to take pressure off the board for fundraising etc.\nResponse: The board members enjoy that part of their service – wouldn’t want to   be left with only business matters\,  board participation would suffer or interested board members would be double-tasked instead of relieved\, would become harder to recruit and retain board members\, many would leave.\nCounter-proposal: volunteer coordinator is greatly needed.  Board needs less of a transfer of duties and more of a cadre of support to work with the board.\n\nOperating funds vs. capital campaign funds on website \n\nRevise statement on Fundraising page so it doesn’t look like all income goes to capital campaign.  Deirdre will do this.\n\nPreparation of report for BOD – Mindy will prepare\, based on minutes \nMeeting Adjourned: 8:00 p.m.

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.

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?

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

SUMMARY:Finance Committee meeting
DESCRIPTION:Agenda for meeting February 23\, 2016 \n Old Business \n\nAnnual Reports progress/ internal audit\nFinance and insulation project update\nFinancial plan for 2016 cabin projects\, including water\nGVEA GoodCents Program?\n\nNew business \n\n IRS 1099 Form update for Treasurer\nSafety Deposit Box\nGCI bills\nCRS 2016 grant status\nFred Meyers Community Sharing money\nProcedure for Inventorying Restricted Funds\nClausen Cabin Restricted Funds\nPick-Click-Give program fee due\nAlaska Library Association membership\nHale & Assoc. Insurance\nDraft Finance Report to the Board\n\nAdditional items for Finance Committee meeting agenda: The Alaska Community Foundation\, which manages our endowment\, will need a resolution from the board regarding fund advisors & donor central (electronic statements & other online info). I talked to Alexandra Becker\, our endowment contact\, about this\, and also got our website updated with them. I gave her your e-mail\, Mindy. I also told her we were doing an internal audit. \nMinutes\, February 23\, 2016 meeting \n Members present:  Syrilyn Tong\, Deirdre Helfferich\, Mindy Gallagher \nMembers absent: Susan Osborne\, Hal Osborne \nMeeting convened 6:35 pm \nNo minutes from February 9 or 13 meeting were available.  Will need these for next meeting. \n Old Business \nAnnual Reports progress/internal audit –Mindy has completed a preliminary audit and typed up monthly finance reports back to October 2011. \nFinance and insulation project update   \n\nInsulation supplies from Northland Wood cost $1730\, leaving $270 on account.\nOther supply expenses reimbursed to Eric Glos totaled $235.67.\nDoors\, supplies and motion sensor lights from Lowe’s cost $719.78.\n$54.04 was used from SBS account to pay for 2 x 12’s for framing doors.\nLabor cost for installing doors = $500.\nWalls will be mudded\, primed\, and painted by volunteers.  Paint will be purchased.\n\nFinancial plan for 2016 cabin projects\, including water – Additional repair work identified during recent project\, as well as confirmation of 2 x 6 stringers under the floor\, which would not support weight of books\, led us to decide we need a budget plan to present to board for prioritization.  Committee members will research costs as follows: \n\nInstall 36” pocket door and move bathroom walls\, includes insulating remaining wall – price estimated by Eric Glos as around $500.  We have leftover insulation and 2 x 4’s\, which reduces the cost.\nRewire bathroom wall\, move circuit box\, reattach wires/outlets – ST will check with an electrician.\nWhite house – lead paint and/or asbestos? – Mindy will contact Mardy Clayton.\nConfirm Golden Eagle plans to redo septic system and effect on cabin – Deirdre will contact people.\nPrice flooring options:  carpet squares vs. laminate flooring – Susan will check prices.\nCost to add joists to floor\, reinforce sagging beams to support 150 lb./sq. ft. – Hans will provide an estimate of cost.\nNon-electric drip stove\, rough estimate ~ $2000.\nFix water system – unknown at this point since we don’t know full extent yet.\nConstruction of handicapped ramp – needs pricing still.\n\nGVEA GoodCents Program will be applied for when we identify project and budget needs. \nNew business \n IRS 1099 Form update for Treasurer – tabled until Treasurer can make it\, hopefully next meeting \nSafety Deposit Box – ST found that Mt. McKinley Bank had cheaper box rents\, $25 for a 3 x 5 box\, vs. $35 at Denali State Bank for the same size. \nGCI bills – Susan and Mindy have gotten January and February bills paid\, hopefully the auto-pay will work in March. Think the problem was the routing numbers. \nCRS 2016 grant status – All the necessary paperwork has been filed. \nFred Meyers Community money – Quarterly check received for $29.08.  Three households signed up during the quarter; amount reflects 1 – 2 months rather than full 3. \nProcedure for Inventorying Restricted Funds — Next phase of internal audit will be identifying restricted funds from October 2011 forward. Mindy proposed using a ledger system for each fund so that corrections can be made\, then more formal reports created when the audit is done. A separate binder will be made for “Restricted Fund Accounts” Committee agreed this was a good plan. \nClausen Cabin Restricted Funds – Discussed some confusion about allocation of CRS funds.  Will need to bring this up at board meeting for resolution. \nPick-Click-Give program fee due – Tabled until Treasurer present.  Board needs to determine where this money will go when we receive it. \nAlaska Library Association membership –Tabled until Treasurer can report \nHale & Assoc. Insurance – Initial paperwork arrived.  Discussed concerns that the address of Passive House property is incorrect on their paperwork.  Mindy will follow up on correcting that. \nDraft Finance Report to the Board –Tabled until next week meeting.  Much of the report will be budget numbers for consideration. \nACF endowment fund advisors – Deirdre had received communication from Alaska Community Foundation\, which manages our ~ $5\,000 endowment fund.  They request a resolution from the board regarding fund advisors & their donor central system.  Discussed what this entailed\, and will present to board.  Mindy will follow up with ACF. \nMeeting adjourned at 8:35 pm. \nNext meeting will be on Tuesday\, March 1 (confirmed date with Susan\, since we want her present)\, at 6:30 pm. \n  \n  \n
