Reports
TREASURER'S REPORT - Larsen
As of 10/1/2004, the treasury had $1972, not including $1000 for Little River Weir Removal Study - see below. The fixed expenditures before 12/31/2004 is $150 for the Website. The treasurer tries to close the year with $1500 on hand.
The only proposed large expenditure for 4Q04 was $200 for the West River Study. A motion was made and passed to spend this money. This is a donation to New England Flow to help fund the study they have arranged of the financial impact of extra releases on the West River at Jamaica, above the current one weekend in the spring and one day in the fall. The study is being performed by VPC member Mike Crane.
There was discussion as to whether Vermont Rivers Conservancy still exists, but subsequently it was determined that it does exist, just may have changed address. VPC donated $50 to VRC in 2004.
SAFETY AND EDUCATION REPORT - Raboin
James reported that an excellent safety clinic was held 10/2 and 10/3, taught by Mark Moore for a special rate of $400. There were 9 participants, and each paid $50. With $45 in incidental expenses above the $400, the total was $5 gain for the treasury. There was discussion that we need to nail down the financial goals and planned costs earlier, to avoid last minute adjustments.
Activities / spending for 2005 safety include
