Income and Expense Report, November 1, 2004 through January 31, 2005

	Pat Brown reported that we have $7,500 in our checking account and $1,500 in our savings account.
	The water bill at the pavilion was higher than it has been in the past, $160.00.  Board members are investigating the high bill.  The septic tanks and toilets will be checked.  Homeowners, when using the toilets, be sure the water stops flowing after the flush.  If the water keeps running for a length of time, that could be one factor for the high water bill.

	Ralph Silva motioned to accept the income/expense report.  Dan Graf seconded the motion.
