At the start of the meeting the Chair asked for corrections to the minutes from June 10; a member moved to approve and the board approved the minutes by voice vote.
The Chair reviewed June expenditures, listing routine clerical fees, seasonal appointments and startup costs for water testing supplies submitted by Joel. She described a new spare prop purchased after the patrol boat struck a rock, and said parts to re-key the locker cost $112 (labor not included). The Chair also said about $71 in outstanding gasoline charges remain to be posted.
On the budget, the Chair said the group's formally approved budget figure was 57,350 and that she had applied to carry over $5,850 from the current year; with carryovers the available funds for next year would be about 22,900, pending accounting confirmation.
The Chair gave a patrol update, saying Bill Humphrey began patrol shifts before July 4 and towed several boats; members praised his work. They also discussed an intermittent steering-linkage issue on the patrol boat; the Chair said the hull and motor are sound and the linkage likely needs a modest repair.
Members agreed to follow up on outstanding bills and to confirm exact carryover accounting before allocating funds for new equipment or permit fees.
The meeting then proceeded to other agenda items and was adjourned.
