West Virginia Mountain Trail Runners
A Mountain State of Running
Please give us a report Matt. After Matt gives his report, I would entertain a motion and a second to accept his report. Matt, also please discuss the inactive fee charge from Huntington Bank and your recommendation for possible action to avoid the fees. We will also need a motion and a second for any action upon Matt's recommendation.
Current balance in checking is $55,600.15 Savings is $1,400.68 and money market is $49,642.52 for a total of $106,643.35.
The 2021 Statement of Activity Summary is attached to this note. I'll post the the detailed version of this in a separate reply.
The money market listed above was opened two years ago to receive a higher introductory interest rate, approximately 1%, as a result of our annual meeting. Since we opened the account the rate has dropped back to a rate of .02% and earns slightly over $13 interest each year. The account no longer is beneficial for us. In addition we are being charged a $3.00 per month statement fee and unless we transfer $5 each month another inactivity fee.
I propose closing the money market and moving it back to savings.
I also believe we will not find any reasonably higher rate in a fixed account to make it worth our while to shop rates in other banks. Interest rates on deposit accounts are low across the board.
Statement of Activity Detailed is attached.
I make a motion to accept the financial report and move the funds back to savings.
Thank for the report. We probably need separate motions for this. I'll make a separate motion to accept the treasures report. I agree that we should get charged more than we earn in the money market account.
@daniel agree that the account movement should be a separate motion.
We have a motion to accept the Treasure's report and a motion to close the money market account and move the funds into the WVMTR savings/checking.
We will need a second for each respective motion.
We have two motions and two seconds. If there is no further discussion -- which is certainly welcome -- we will vote at the conclusion of the meeting under Item 7.
