  A. Finance Report
   
  • Operational budget overall is on track. Finance Committee is looking into employee fringe benefits, salaries, nutrition funding and utilities to see if costs can be more closely monitored.
  • The demolition of the 26 Madeira property has begun. All of the cabinetry is removed.  There was no asbestos found in the roof but there are terra cotta bricks in the interior walls which will add extra disposal costs estimated at $48K.  While this is well within the contingency of the project we are exploring ways to minimize the impact of the additional disposal costs.

Calendar is attached. Annual Goals for Fin Com include:
