Finance Director’s Report – Heidi Dombrowski.  Heidi discussed the 2012 Budget Financial Review.   Heidi informed the committee that the P.A.C.E. program put us over our operating revenue, by booking that revenue we did not meet the goal of 25% according to our policy. She had to book deferred revenue as restricted revenue.  On her reports she will be removing some of the tables she previously included, as the numbers change and it makes the report look like it is inaccurate.  Update as of April 30, 2013 Budget Financials. Nothing looks to be of concern at this point.  They have budgeted $20,000 under Animal Control and have spent $16,000, with only a few more bills outstanding.  All reports are on file in the Clerk’s office with these minutes.
