Mr. Hildebrandt advised the Committee that he is working on the monthly reports (up through August 31st) and that that he should have them by the end of the week. Mr. Hildebrandt stated that part of the problem was that he and Ms. Prather were trying to figure out the credit card problem going on at the pool and that’s why the bank statements from June aren’t reconciled yet. Mr. Hildebrandt added that he will have to get together with Ms. Prather and go over the amounts that were being entered. Ms. Prather commented that she is entering the numbers the same as she did last year and there weren’t any issues. Ms. Prather stated that Payment Service Network (PSN) is coming out with a handheld system that runs off of wifi and that this may be an option for the pool because she will not be using the current company (Wholesale Payments) next year.
