The IRS has informed us that they have reviewed our appeal of the late filing penalties for 2008 and 2009 employment taxes and have agreed to waive the fees. We are still responsible for interest on those taxes. But this ruling saves us approximately $950.
2012 assessment notices were mailed at the end of the month and are due April 1.
Significant January transactions:
Income : none
Expenditures:
$354 Puget Sound Energy
Recreation – Nancy Krueger
We are recontacting lifeguards and swim teachers from last season to see if they want to continue with Mar Cheri this summer. Another project is to find new mats for the dressing rooms and lavatories. We are looking for long-lasting mats that are non-skid, hygienic, and easy to clean. We will continue to use the old mats in the outdoor entryways to the dressing rooms, but they are difficult to clean and have a strong rubber smell.
It was decided that the pool will be open over Memorial Day weekend and then open on weekends until the last day of school. Then we will open with our regular schedule. It was also decided that associate membership dues will be raised from $275 to $299.
Thanks to Vicki Bengeult and Arne Rusten for joining the Board this year; we look forward to their good ideas and added enthusiasm.
