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?

SUMMARY:Finance & Facilities Joint Committee Meeting 3.22.2016
DESCRIPTION:JTEL Finance & Facilities Joint Committee meeting \nAgenda for March 22\, 2016 \n Finance Committee minutes March 1\, 2016 \n Joint Committee Business \n\n 2016 cabin projects – review\, adjust costs\, develop plan\nCRS 2016 grant status\nClausen Cabin Restricted Funds\nBudget needs re: cabin capital projects\n\n Old Business — Finance \n\nAnnual Reports progress/ internal audit\nPick-Click-Give program fee\nAlaska Library Association membership fee\nHale & Assoc.

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:JTEL Finance Committee \nAgenda for meeting March 1\, 2016 \n Minutes from February 13\, 2016 \nMinutes from February 23\, 2016 \n Old Business \n\nInventory of Restricted Funds progress\nFinance and insulation project update\nFinancial plan for 2016 cabin projects\nIRS 1099 Form update for Treasurer\nSafety Deposit Box recommendation\, signers needed\nCRS 2016 grant status\nPick-Click-Give program fee due\nAlaska Library Association membership\nHale & Assoc. Insurance\n\nNew business \n\n Audit recommendations for grant purposes\nFinance Report to the Board\n\nJTEL Finance Committee \nMinutes\, March 1\, 2016 \n Members present:  Syrilyn Tong\, Deirdre Helfferich\, Mindy Gallagher\, Hans Moelders \nMembers absent:  Susan Osborne\, Hal Osborne \nMeeting convened 6:40 pm \nMinutes from February 13 and 23 presented and accepted \n Old Business \nInventory of Restricted Funds progress – Mindy has started reviewing FY2012 restricted fund donations and is focusing on Ruth Jasper Children’s Fund donations and accrued interest. A spreadsheet of pre-rated interest until present has been created for reference. \nFinance and insulation project update –  \nWith all receipts in\, we spent $2087.47 on insulating\, sheetrock\, mudding and primer paint supplies. \nDeirdre and Mindy looked at pricing paint and possible colors; we still need to buy paint.  $270 remains at Northland Wood account. \n$119.41 (?) remains at SBS account. \n$1\,219.78 spent out of CRS2016 money on 2 doors\, installed\, and 2 motion sensor lights\, not yet installed. \n$6\,699.96 remains available for cabin projects \nFinancial plan for 2016 cabin projects \n\n$500 estimate from Eric Glos to move bathroom walls\, install 36”pocket door\, insulate and sheetrock remaining wall.\nRewire bathroom wall\, move circuit box\, reattach wires/outlets.  ST was unable to get an electrician friend to estimate.  Deirdre will check with Andrew Hunt. (Note: his estimate from last year for entire cabin was $3675 for labor and parts)\nCreate a secure office area – no estimate because several options need to be decided among.\nWhite house – Mardy Clayton\, Haz-Mat specialist/trainer for Laborer’s Union\, said building undoubtedly painted with lead paint\, which is currently peeling.  Of greatest concern is paint around doors and windows\, where activity causes paint to flake off as a powder.  Lead is of greatest concern around children.  He suggested we get a test kit from Arctic Fire and Safety. Speed of color change indicates amount of lead concentration. Best way to deal with lead is to remove the paint and dispose of it properly\, then repaint.  (Note: Deirdre and Mindy later tested the paint\, and white paint has lead\, green paint apparently not). He also said the house undoubtedly has asbestos in the construction\, because it wasn’t banned until 1978 (although they allowed it to be used until 1980 if it was still in stock). Asbestos was used in linoleum and the glue used to seal it to floor\, and in ceilings/roofs.  Best way to avoid exposure is to not tear up these parts of the structure.\nGolden Eagle plans to redo septic system – Hilary said they are doing this this summer\, leach field is at far end of parking lot next to Clausen cabin.  It should not affect us\, and she is mostly working with Frank Therrell.  We have our own leach field\, which is okay\, to our knowledge.  Our well is not currently in use\, water is not potable.\nPrice flooring options – Susan not present\, so ST said she would check on prices (Note: Susan emailed later that stick-on carpet squares at Lowe’s\, cost $1.65/sq.ft.\, but not very durable quality).  Previous estimate from Scott Allen for laminate flooring at MacShayne’s was $1.65/sq. ft.\, sale price.\nCost to add joists/ beams under floor to support 150 lb./sq.ft.  Hans estimated for 3 30-foot long joists\, plus concrete blocks to support and level cabin ~ $800\nNon-electric drip stove\, rough estimate ~$2000.  Eric Glos said Monitor is going to be hard to fix/find parts for\, plus requires electricity\, so not good for outages.\nFix water system – unknown\, do not know full extent.  Pump frozen up.\nConstruction of handicapped ramp – needs pricing and decisions on where it goes.\n\nIRS 1099 Form update for Treasurer – Tabled until Treasurer present \nSafety Deposit Box recommendation\, signers needed – At $25 for a 3×5 box\, we recommend Mt. McKinley Bank\, signers to be President\, Vice-President\, Treasurer \nCRS 2016 grant status – check not received yet.  Mindy had contacted Eric Holland at the borough\, and he said he would check on what was holding it up. \nPick-Click-Give program fee due March 31.  Tabled until Treasurer present. \nAlaska Library Association membership.  Tabled until Treasurer present \nHale & Assoc. Insurance preliminary paperwork reviewed.  Questions about addresses of Passive House property.  Mindy will follow up. \nNew business \n Audit recommendations for grant purposes – Mindy talked with Anne Ruggles\, Executive Director at North Star Dance\, and finance board member for Friends of Creamer’s Field.  She said a full audit could run into the thousands of dollars.  She suggested we could get a good audit done by paying a CPA to do our IRS tax filing using Form 990 or 990-EZ.  This would probably cost a few hundred dollars.  Then we could use that information for grant applications.  Susan and Mindy did the 990N e-postcard in January\, which was all we needed to do for our size non-profit\, and we didn’t have enough records to do the more detailed forms at that time. GVEA GoodCents grants will take just an internal audit (we could do this one)\, bigger grants need 3 years of CPA-audited records\, and Rasmusen Foundation wants 5 years of CPA-audited records for their larger grants. With help\, Mindy could start working towards getting some version of 2014 and 2015 records done to that standard\, but there are still some gaps and holes\, compared to what is expected. Current records are being kept to a standard which will allow us to get a good audit of 2016 records\, when the fiscal year is done. \nAnne also said a good accounting of restricted funds is critical.  Mindy is currently working on this project. \nFinance Report to the Board was drafted out and added to.  Will be typed ready for presentation at March 9 board meeting. \nMeeting adjourned at 8:15 pm. \nNext meeting not set\, but a suggested date would be March 15 or 16.  Contact between Susan Osborne and Mindy Gallagher after the meeting indicated that Susan will be unable to continue as Treasurer due to a family situation which will take several months to resolve. \n  \n

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
