Discussion:  Kathie Manning was happy to report that there were no findings for the third year of the audit.  

Discussion:  Barbara Underwood had questions regarding the items that were being removed from the fixed asset listing.  She asked the year purchased and dollar amount at the time of purchase.  Kathie Manning provided that information for the items on the list.  She explained that fixed asset listing was not being updated in the past in a proper and timely fashion.  This process has now been moved to Audra Bailey as part of procurement.  It will take some time to get things inventoried and the listing updated.  Once this is completed, our listing will be accurate and manageable.  The guidelines for fixed assets a value of over $5000.  Stewardship assets are valued between $1000-$4999.  Each site will create lists of their assets that they want to keep tabs on that maybe valued less than these amounts.
