Only the $492.26 from Viper Ball Hockey was over 90 days. And Scott Turner’s $492.26 was in the 60 to 90 day range. Bryan was staying on top of both of these accounts and will report back to us at the next meeting. The income statement was : presented and appeared to be in line with our forecast – YTD. The chair also advised $80,000.00 wasinvested in short-term GIC’s - $30,000.00 in a 30 day term and an additional $50,000.00 was in a 90 day term. The $30,000.00 would most likely be required back in our operating account for late August to accommodate the payroll and start-up for September. Hopefully, the $50,000.00 can remain invested for future expenditures, i.e. a new Olympia, capital expenditures, etc. 5.New Business - The chair presented a letter from Newcastle Family Connection Dance requesting the opportunity to rent the upper floor Music Room. This room was constructed for the Newcastle Skating Club with a Trillium Ontario grant. As the skating club was no longer operating, the room currently is not in use. Through discussion the board members determined that room can provide multiple functions for arena use and it would be detrimental to be rented out and not available. Further, it was suggested that the current small meeting room across from their storage room they are now renting could be offered to them, as an office. Motion # 14- 020 THAT: was proposed: The small room at the top of the front stairs is offered to the skating club for office use. Rental of this room for 2015 would be $50.00 per month, payable on one invoice of $600.00 plus HST issued in January. Further, the chair would contact NFC with the offer and report back to the members.
