Treasurer Report

For the last three years, there has been a pattern. February financials consistently just SUCK. There are three primary reasons:

  • Reason #1 = ($1,416.00) expense for the annual Pike13 "Essential Advantage Buisness Fee" that gets charged in February each year.
  • Reason #2 = ($959.86) expense for the Feb. LG&E utility bill (was $969.74 for Feb. 2024, and was an astronomical $1,654.19 for Feb. 2025)
  • Reason #3 = ($650.00) a "revenue shift" because 10 of the 60 Pike13 membership payments that fall near the end of the February, shift to show as Republic Bank deposits in March, not February.

Here is the <LVL1-FinancialSummary-202602.pdf< with the following values:

  • February 2026 REVENUE totaled $3,884.27.
  • February 2026 EXPENSE totaled ($5,429.81).
  • February 2026 NET was cash NEGATIVE at ($1,545.54).
