IV.  Chairperson’s Report: Police Report:  President Chapman reported that January, 2012 has proved to be a quiet month for any criminal activity.  This could be weather-related.  The policeman’s hours continually change, so that illegal activity can be managed. They will continue to report to the President.

c.       Audit/Budget Committee:  The Audit Committee has met with the Budget Committee and have reviewed the books.  Both committees will meet again this coming week to finalize the 2012 Budget and to conclude their findings.  The bookkeeper needs to formalize the 2012 Budget with proper columns so that the figures are easily interpreted.
