Cooperstown Chamber of Commerce

FINANCE COMMITTEE MINUTES

APRIL 21, 2010

Trolley Advertising figure has been removed as a budget item on the report.

Area Guides – The advertising income was down a little, but we saved dollars on the printing. We were able to keep the number of pages down by eliminating some redundant information, such as an alphabetical listing of the advertisers. Susan indicated the printing costs should come in about $26,000.

County Bed Tax – Kiosk – we have a confirmation from Deb Taylor that we will be receiving the $6,000 that we have budgeted.

Under line 61, Facility Repair/Maintenance – It was noted that we are almost at budget. This line, however, is primarily for winter related expenses, such as furnace cleaning, snowplowing. The repair to the sign outside the Chamber was also expensed here, but we should not have much more coming out of this line.

Line 79 – Budgeted $500, however, have spent $3,703.82. This represents the phone system that we discussed last month.

Line 88, Conferences & Meetings – Once again we discussed this last month, the amount is high because of the costs associated with meetings. It will be offset by additional income from Banner Ad sales.

Donna Shipman,

Treasurer
