Budget

• Marianne reviewed the 2020 budget and the proposed new format. 

• 112 members have paid their dues with 2 more members committed to sending in their payment, bringing the total number of members expected for 2020 to 114, the same number of dues collected as last year. 

• Marianne explained the new format of the budget and balance sheet.  The new format allows the board to see the amount of the money in the bank to date.

• Marianne reviewed the budget, stating we have sufficient funds to pay for the expected remaining outstanding bills through the end of the year.

• next year we anticipate the road fund will be replenished.

• The board approved the budget and new format.

Roads

Beaches

Facebook

• Tim introduced Erin DiMella to the board. 

• Erin has volunteered to set up a Facebook account for the Seascape Association.

• Erin explained that her interest stems from Facebook’s function, which allows for a two-way communication among members, making it easier for neighbors to communicate and get to know each other. 

• The account would be private, by invitation for all Association members and their invited family members. 

• Erin said she would volunteer to be one of the monitors of the content on the page and she suggested that two other people, maybe board members also be monitors.

•  Erin provided a suggested set of rules for use of the Facebook account.

•  The board asked Erin for a refinement of the rules.
