RENEWAL OF MANGO TREE COFFEE SHOP CONTRACT – Elvita reviewed the first year’s contract
with the Board. Minor changes were suggested in dates and construction paragraphs. In the first
contract after 6 months the Coffee Shop went to a $250 flat fee after paying 6% of gross income for the
first 6 months. Elvita suggested going back to the 6% since income for the Coffee Shop hasn’t increased
to where she is making a profit.
Gloria Thvedt moved to accept the changes as suggested. Amber Ohm seconded. Motion
approved.

Historical Collection Gift Policy and Form. No changes were recommended.
