Setting up a meeting with James Lewis of Wasatch Community Gardens

Management. 

American Family is no longer ensuring condos at all. Found a new policy with State Farm for $13K less. They wanted photos, requested some changes (clean up), and seem to be happy with the second set of photos.

We don't owe taxes on monthly fees, pay-or-play, or donations, but we do owe 35% taxes on bank interest, guest room fees.

Proposed budget increases guest room fee to $40. 

Got a new book-keeping firm about six weeks ago.

Budget

5% increase.  Seconddraft for 2026 has been presented, not a lot of changes since earlier. It will be posted on Discord.

Budget Requests:

• ACM Planning is asking for $4K: $3K for a workshop and $1K for outside facilitation (if judged necessary). Community takes a different skill set than most people learn growing up, and improving helps us get more out of being in community.
• Mediation. $500 for mediation (if judged necessary; may be a subsidy rather than full cost). 
• This year $54K to reserve; next year $60K. Potential expenses include stucco painting, c.h. furnace limping along, a/c to replace swamp cooler since it isn't really cutting it with hotter summers.

Book-keeper is working on end-of-year actuals and balance sheets.

Will put paper copies on desk by stairs about a week before the Annual Meeting.

Spotlight on Kellie Henderson

Kellie has worked with Salt Lake 9-1-1 for about ten years.  She is a union steward. 

HB 267 which prevented public employees from negotiating, was repealed last night in a special session. 

Salt Lake City Public Library is the first unionized library in Utah. Sun Trap is the first unionized bar. 

Organized Utah (OUT) does labor organizing, mentoring, and education.  Picketing several StarBucks locations in Utah to pressure the company to negotiate with StarBucks Workers United.

It rained every Saturday in the weeks before Kellie and Tyson's wedding, and then their day was sunny.
