Financials

• Corey will update the financials on the website. Becker will send him the necessary information.

Check Signing System

• Checks need to be signed each two weeks, per NOPD payroll schedule.

• Angie and Romney have handled check signing so far and there has been no major problems so we will continue in that manner.

MCSD Mail

• Angie is willing to go through the surveys depending on the total number.

• Data also may need professional analysis, although it appears it should be a simple process and that the board would be capable of handling that task.

Stats from Ronnie

• Weather may be a contributing factor but it is evident that we have had a decrease in crime over the past two months.

• Ronnie could not be present due to a scheduling conflict however he sent the board the stats ahead of schedule.

Legislative audit

• Becker emailed the legislative auditor and it appears that a legislative audit is a relatively simple process however we will need to find a firm to perform the audit itself.

• Becker has compiled a number of firms that would be acceptable. Becker would be responsible for compiling the forms and submitting them to the legislative auditor.

• There are a number of good auditors, the MCSD would like to select an auditor from the Mid-City area if possible. We will ask for bids from no less than three auditing groups.

• The legislative audit is not due until June 30^th however it would be advisable to do this sooner as opposed to later due to tax season, which is mid February to April 15^th.

• The MCSD fiscal year is in December.

Corey’s Last Meeting

• Ben Misko has announced himself as a candidate for Corey's position. MCNO is required to backfill this appointment, they will be conducting a search and selection process in order to find the replacement.

• Corey is leaving the board as he has purchased a house outside of the district and will be moving there shortly.

2010 Budget

• The 2009 budget was reviewed by the board, as well as expenses and payroll. A 2010 budget was developed to be submitted to City Hall, per their request. The 2010 budget will also be posted on the website.

• Motion was made by Angie to approve the 2010 budget. The motion was seconded by Colleen and received unanimous approval.

• Motion was made by Angie to give Corey the authorization to sign the budget at a later date. The motion was seconded by Colleen and received unanimous approval.

Motion to adjourn at 7:14pm was made by Angie and 2nded by Colleen. Unanimous approval.
