I think we need the person that prepared  the budget (that is Maxine) 
there to advise us on where the budget can be cut. I dont think we can 
do it without her input.

Matt.

>>     Dear Committee,
>>     The levy that was discussed at the AGM was:
>>     Administration $213,000.00 plus GST
>>     Sinking $  38,147.77 plus GST
>>     The previous year was:
>>     Administration $196,000.00 plus GST
>>     Sinking                   $   5,000.00 plus GST
>>     The Administration has increased due to the levy contributions to
>>     the BMC as electricity costs and insurance costs have increased.
