Dave summarized the duries of this committee. . John Burns read Joe Bulterman's e-mail summarizing the questions and comments raised during the recent list discussion of club finances and related issues. The questions Joe raised were:
. How much of a treasury balance does the Club
need for it's regular operational purposes?
. Are there any definite "special projects" that
need to be funded for the future? Do we know
how much is needed for those "special projects"
and how close we are to funding them?
. Is the Club accumulating proceeds from fish
sales for no stated purpose?
. How much of a prudent reserve would be be
necessary to handle emergency needs of the Club?
. Would increasing the take to the fish provider
likely increase the number and quality of fish
brought to auction.
These questions will continue to be discussed on out e-mail list and will be agenda items at the next meeting.
