II. Finance - Financial Statement Review
A.
Committee review of Previous Month's Financial Statements
Jeff presented the review of October 2021 Financials
The recycling event generated about 4 tons of electronics, yielding ~$3,600 gross, ~$2,300 net. May plan another similar event during the Spring 2022 storing items in the warehouse. Thinking about offering a pickup service for anyone who cannot drop off the items.
Jeff reviewed several line items on both the revenue and expense categories (see the FinCom_notes_October_2021.pdf document for detail.)
The HVAC cost will be capitalized and future financials will reflect this.
Office expansion currently at ~$31K will end up near $38K.
We have seen an increase in electrical costs vs the previous year - much of the increase is due to the fact that last year there were fewer people in the building so much less electricity usage as compared to this year.
Peter reviewed current efforts to get an appraisal and discussed why it may make sense to do this in 2022. Estimated cost $3,500.
Estimates for the roof repair have risen - we currently have two estimates in hand coming in at or close to ~$1million.
Current plan is for a phased approach to making the warehouse space useable for faculty/students.
Building out that space involves giving notice to the tenant currently paying $2K/month to store construction materials and painting supplies.
Jeff reviewed details re: expenses covered by the covid grants.
Peter discussed the possible need to create a new admin role Dean of Students.
Peter also discussed the need for an additional math teacher to provide more tailored learning experience for advanced math students.
Covid Federal programs continue to offer full reimbursement for lunch to all students - food service receives ~$11-13K/month
