Financial Audit 
As stipulated in the PBIA By-Laws, Bob Brenton and Shawn Wilson conducted 
an audit of the PBIA finances by reviewing the past year's bank statements 
that were provided by John Breen.

Board Of Director Election:
The next item on the agenda was the election of the Board of Directors.  
All ballots were reviewed, and they were all in favor of electing the 
incumbent Board of Directors.  John Breen cast the ballot for the vote, 
and it was approved by all members present.  

Treasurers Report:
Peggy read the treasury report, and the balance as of 3/09/10 was $5655.52.  

Old Business:
The dumpsters will be at the community property on March 24th and 25th.  
Paint,  chemicals, tires, appliances, and tree trunks are NOT allowed in 
the dumpsters. John attempted to get a later date for the dumpsters, but 
was not able to change the date.  

New Business:
Last year there was a need to remove some broken limbs from several trees 
on the beach property.  At that point there was an estimate ($900) written 
to trim/prune the remaining trees on the property.  There was another 
estimate ($1900) written at the end of the season to trim the trees on both 
properties. It was decided that there wasn't time or money to approve this 
effort.  It was decided at this meeting to get another estimate for both 
properties and to try to get this done on this year's budget.

Bonnie reported that the rocks and blue barrels are scattered on the beach, 
and there needs to be some work done to restore the beach to a safe 
environment for community members.  She stated that she would get estimates 
for the work. This was suggested as the higher priority than the tree 
trimming.

Bob Seaman stated that he was able to meet with any contractors that were 
going to perform estimates for the work.

John stated that there were only 8 people at the previous year's picnic, and 
he did not feel that it was worth the effort to have the picnic this year.  
He asked for suggestions on how to raise funds for the PBIA.  A few 
suggestions were given including a craft show and a pancake brunch.  Bonnie 
is planning to have a Bingo game on October 31st.  She is planning to start 
it at 1:00, and provide a few small prizes for the winners.  The cost will 
be $5.00 and hot dogs and soda will be provided.  There will be a 50/50 and 
the proceeds will be donated to the PBIA.  Bob Brenton made a motion to 
accept the proposal, and it was accepted.  Bonnie will take the lead for 
this effort.

John stated that the website has been converted to the new, less expensive 
format, and that there is still a need to get people to advertise on the 
website.

John also asked for people to send any pictures from the snow storms of 
the previous winter to him so that we could put them on the website as a 
slide show.

Meeting was adjourned at 7:25 pm.
NEXT MEETING:  Tuesday April 20th at 7:00pm  
Location:  Kurtz Beach!!
