UEA approves minutes, claim docket and monthly financials; staff adds bank reconciliations to packet

The Urban Enterprise Association approved routine items on the agenda, including the minutes from Sept. 17, the claim docket for the month and monthly financial statements.

A motion to approve the Sept. 17 minutes was made, seconded and approved by voice vote. The claim docket included four payments — one for consulting services, one for a code enforcement officer for September, one for a payment to Downtown Law (Costanza), and one listed as staff services — and the docket was approved after a motion and second; one board member abstained from that vote.

Mary Anne told the board she had included bank reconciliation statements in the board packet at the request of a board member and explained QuickBooks had duplicated two checks from August. She said accountant John Angelos attempted to correct the duplication but was unable to do so; staff will monitor the reconciliation and expects the checks to clear or be corrected on next month's statement.

Staff also reported on encumbered funds: Lowe's point incentive and Lincoln Walk payments were made earlier in the month; remaining encumbrances include parks department and downtown art projects, with one artist payment of $1,500 scheduled for next June according to the agreement.
