A summary of firms contacted and bids we received was presented to the board. Chair Demaree explained that Rosie Brandt of Holmes and Turner has quite a bit of experience handling other resort districts accounts. Rosie will be leaving Holmes and Turner and starting her own company in April. Chair Demaree stated we have a verbal quote from her for this years’ audit of $4500.00.

Chair Demaree also mentioned that Rosie has completed our 1099’s for 2016 and sent a letter to the IRS explaining we are a new district, unaware of this requirement and therefore these were completed late. Total amount owed to Rosie for this service was $50.00.
In New Business, Chair Demaree shared a letter from Park Country reminding us that the new election dates for board members will coincide with the local school district elections, therefore, some members of the board will be serving an additional 6 months until elections are held. Chair Demaree said there is nothing new regarding a new attorney for when Mona Jamison retires. Mona is busy up in Helena, but the Big Sky bill has not been sponsored as of yet; there is nothing new to report regarding the lawsuit and no payments have been received to date. As there is no pressing business in March, it was agreed upon to skip the March meeting.
The next meeting will be held on April 11th at 7:00 PM at the Gardiner Chamber Office. Vice Chair Dalling moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:50 PM; Treasurer Parks seconded the motion; all voted in favor; none opposed. Motion passed.
