The August 2007 financial statement was presented. Chesapeake Electronics had 40 TV’s in the collection, and this made their bill higher than usual. PCI bill was for two months. WARU had an extra $99.00 on their bill for the broadcast at the 4-H fair. There were 11 refund checks in the amount of $105.00 each issued to property owners who were charged $125.00 instead of the normal $20.00 on the tax bills last year. Shirley Mull motioned to approve the financial report, Lance Gallahan seconded, motion passed.

The Macy town board called out office claiming someone backed into their storage building and they thought it was The Helping Hand’s trailer. John and Ed went to the building to view the damage and found that the area in question was significantly lower than the height of his trailer. The town board would still like us to pay for the damage, as they believe that if it wasn’t caused by our contractor, it was caused by someone leaving items at the recycling drop-off site. Lance Gallahan motioned to have John contact the Macy town board and have them get a repair estimate for review by the board. Craig Boyer seconded, motion passed.
