Notes from HADS meeting September 16, 2017
We are planning on holding elections in October.
Display Garden – the garden needs weeding again. It may be necessary to dig up the daylilies, amend the soil and replace the daylilies. We are still looking to hire someone, possibly a Master Gardener, to weed the garden on a regular basis. Pat and Don will check with the Coop. Ext. to see if we can run water lines to water the garden on a regular basis.
A question arose as to whether we should continue to renew the AHS Display Garden status. After some discussion, a motion was made and seconded to keep the display garden. Pat and Don agreed to chair a committee to investigate questions of water, weeding, edging and compost. It was agreed to offer $20/hour to the person for garden maintenance – motion made and seconded and passed. We will wait for answers to questions before proceeding.
Treasurer’s Report – we sent $924 to Region after the annual sale. We had $4,436 in sales and $738 in expenses. We currently have $6,152 in a Money Market and $12,600 in the checking account. A motion was made and seconded to move money from the checking account to the money market.
There was discussion of having a second person who could sign checks in case Carol was unavailable. Carol will remain the primary person handling the accounts; the second signatory would only be needed if Carol was not able to sign checks. The Chairperson would be the second signatory. Motion was made and seconded and passed. This will be implemented after the next election.
