Motion to Accept the Financial Update The GSLRA has established a cash and investment balance of $15,000 This represents a Reserve for major issues, such as Kendari (2010) and Highway 11 re-alignment (2012). In 2009 and 2010, we collected a Special Levy of $9,500 offset by Consultant Fee of $9,162 and increased director and administrative costs for Kendari development issue, which was largely a wash. Memberships increased significantly in 2009/2010 (130) and again in 2012 (101) when we had the special issues. From 2013 to 2015, membership has fallen to around 60. The only major expenditure that we have on an on-going basis is the MLA water testing, which will be approximately $800 annually. Motion to Accept the Financial Update
