Minutes: 

Mrs. Kerekes stated she had concerns about some expenses in the General Fund and asked for another workshop on the budget prior to its adoption.  Following brief discussion, the meeting was scheduled for August 12, 2013, at 4:30 p.m.

Mrs. Bullock stated she had a conflict and wondered if the regular September meeting could be moved to September 12, 2013.  Mrs. McKinnon may also have a conflict but, following brief discussion, the decision was to leave the meeting on September 12, 2013, as the remaining three board members will constitute a quorum.
