Treasurer’s Report

Ed Railton presented the 2007 budget comparison to 2006 results.  The budgeted income for 2007 was less than the 2006 actual by $77,000. Actual surplus for year is within $7,000 for 2007. A question was raised by John Schmale about the budget as projected. Paul Lamm raised an issue about the amount of fees paid for the IRL and NASCAR races from the track for the volunteers and equipment use and that such fees have not been disclosed to the membership. Dorothy Bookman raised an issue about the dues that are paid for the members. Sherri explained that the dues are shown as income and expense to the region for the portion reimbursed and also explained the nature of the expense categories presented – Club Admin (cost of running the club), Race Expense (cost of an event), Race Admin (non-event specific expenses) and The Wheel (net cost of the newsletter). Question by Bill Schooley as to reason for increase in Club Admin- John Speer’s cost mostly. Malinda Jaroch raised a question about the cost of the new building – very limited. Jim Rogaski asked about any change in lease payments – none. Bill Schooley asked about Solo events revenues and expenses  - none included as they are separate from the general region budget. Barbara McClellan asked about the solo sanction fees (not included) and dues (included). Jane Neff asked about the legal and other fees – annual audit and Race to Recycle Oil audit. John Schmale asked about including the budget numbers in the comparison.

The remainder of the meeting proceeded according to the agenda previously published (see below). Mike Smith reviewed the accomplishments for 2007 and the plans for 2008.
