5. Approval of Financial Statements of December 2011 and January 2012:
Moved by Ron, second by Janet. Approved by all Board Members. Janet requested
clarification on the Financial Reports for Parking. Roger Nasset explained that Parking
will have its own budget within the KPD budget which is part of the General Fund. The
City has been trying to condense the overall City budget because of the excessive
amounts of line items. Many of the line items have been consolidated. Roger stated that
changes and adjustments can be made to the line items. The Advisory Board will
continue to submit a yearly budget and it will be a component of the KPD budget. Mark
would like to see the remaining cash balance listed on the financial reports. Janet
requested that the lot maintenance be split up so that the snow plowing remains separate
from other lot maintenance and repairs. Mark and Janet want to see all items that our
budget is responsible for reflected on the monthly financials. They would also like to see
our cash position in regards to the budget. Roger Nasset will take the comments back to
Amy and Deb. They will modify it and bring it to the next meeting to see if it is closer to
what the Board is looking for.

Jack to distribute with tickets. The Board will review the Skyline Lot and free parking at
