made and approved that checks paying our bills to Humana and Georgia Power be exempt from the two signature requirement on checks exceeding $1200. Maria discussed the changes and reinforcements
made to help prevent break in of the center. Maria brought up the request of Paul Wolf and Joe Richardson to have the center sign off on a grant request. After discussion that included
the need of a grant being a match of the centers mission, the need for us to monitor it, and for it to cover costs, the following motion was made and approved: Pending approval of a
final proposal, that we agree to serve as the applicant for the Wolf/Richardson water quality proposal to the Pentecost Ecology Fund dependent on the inclusion of a informational product
created created for us of our choosing. It was decided that Maria would make the decision of the proposal based on the above motion with the assistance of Dionne. Final disbursement
