Carl shared the highlights from the April financial report. The total revenues for the month of April in vouchers were 106% and for the year-to-date they were 107%. Carl also mentioned to the board that there were 3 payrolls in the month of April so the percentage was skewed a bit. Year-to-date is at 81% and that is a reflection of the Vance Terrace closing did offset some of the admin expenses.

Carl informed the board that he will be going on medical leave and will return 6 weeks after his date for hip replacement surgery. There will be no financials available for the June 2004 meeting.

Investment Report

The only changes in the investment report were increases in value due to interest and the Continuum Loan. In the month of April there were two payments of interest from Continuum.
