He presented the checks that were ready to be signed at this meeting. Dean questioned the board where the monies were to come from to pay the bills due to HRI this month.  Ren said that the grant monies need to be used first, and then the loan money before RUS will use any of the money.  Ren also suggested not using the Community Banks line of credit until it is necessary.   There was a motion to authorize the Secretary and Treasurer to pay the interest on the Community Banks line of credit before the next meeting if it is received before the next meeting and also to include the 3 outstanding invoices that were received at tonight’s meeting. Motion made by Dean and 2nd by Kervin.  Dean also presented an invoice to the board from Larson Design which included consultation and could not be paid through RUS; Ren suggested that that bill get paid along with the other listed checks to be signed at tonight’s meeting. Dean made a motion to accept the financial report as presented and Jackson seconded the motion.
