Images, Graphs and Tables:
For graphical information such as images, charts and tables, use the notes pane to describe these objects.  If describing structured charts, describe each element and their interactions.
Fonts and Colour:
Use sans serif (non fancy) fonts such as Verdana, Lucida Sans, or Arial.  They should be of sufficient size, or larger if projected.
Check that foreground and background colour choices provide a high contrast ratio of at least 5:1 so that the foreground content and backgrounds are easily distinguished from each other.

9. Motion to Accept the Financial Update
The GSLRA has established a cash and investment balance of $15,000 This represents a Reserve for major issues, such as Kendari (2010) and Highway 11 re-alignment (2012).
In 2009 and 2010, we collected a Special Levy of $9,500 offset by Consultant Fee of $9,162 and increased director and administrative costs for Kendari development issue, which was largely a wash.
Memberships increased significantly in 2009/2010 (130) and again in 2012 (101) when we had the special issues. From 2013 to 2015, membership has fallen to around 60.
The only major expenditure that we have on an on-going basis is the MLA water testing, which will be approximately $800 annually.
Motion to Accept the Financial Update
