Michael DiLella asked for clarification on Pensions since last meeting, Willie Woo had questioned them and Rory
Woods would get back to us. Rory Woods stated that 2014 was the first year that Mike Pogue started as the Arena
Manager. His Pension was not being submitted to the Pension provider, but it was being deducted from his pay.
Therefore the 2014 amount was submitted in February 2015, on top of the regular 2015 amount to the Pension
provider.
Other points clarified:
The Orono books are audited annually by the town and are done by a Chartered Accountant.
Year end is December 31.

Municipality – Willie Woo, Wendy Partner, Fred Horvath, Director of Operations and Andy Allison, Municipal

Still need to hear from Wendy Partner regarding the schedule for the accessibility audit.
