1. Motion to Approve and Authorization to file the 2016 tax returns as presented and reviewed.

2. Motion to convert the “Paypal” account to a money market account instead of a checking account.  This will allow for our capital to earn money market rate interest.  Once the account has been converted, I’ve recommended renaming it “Reserve” Account.  

3. Motion to transfer $500,000 from the operating checking account to the newly named Reserve Account. (assumed approval of motion #2)
Note: James Gerdts and Summer Clayton are the only two signatories on the Exploris accounts.  As a result these changes need to be signed for, in person, by one of the two of them.

4. Motion to approve the Finance Committee Job Description as presented (attached).
