| Notes | The LPTB has 8 members serving, but I included some members who have expired terms to be able to report on their reimbursement. The Performance report appears to be correct; however, the report is automatically generated by our database system and it appears that the year ending 2022 and beginning 2023 investigations open should be the same number but the report is reporting one number off. We are looking into this and will submit a revised report if we find that the number is in fact not correct. I have reported information to the best of my ability for the Fund Balance and Acquisitions/Major Repairs. I am going to seek professional services to correct any errors I may have in my reporting. For now, instead of putting "complete" I put "N/A" because I am not certain about the reporting of these numbers and I want to be sure that the reported numbers are accurate before marking it "complete." |
