Anita made the accusation at trial that treasurer reports were not submitted regularly. If you look at the minutes this is simply a lie. She states that they were reported once every 3-4 months. Anita Serda also states untruths about knowledge of running out of money. At the September 24, 2012 board meeting, Jason notified the board that the PHCA would be out of money by June or July of 2013. Stephanie was on a one-year contract that had not been funded by any grants. Jason only spoke the truth when he recommended not signing her for another year. According to the records, as of September 2012, the PHCA had a loss of $26,481.84.
In that very same meeting, the meeting minutes state “Committees will be receiving 10%, for example, we receive a $100 donation each committee will receive 10% and the general fund will receive 60%.
A. Beautification & Safety
B. Education & Programming
C. Medical Clinic
1. We will help them as needed for supplies and so forth.
D. Festival”
These records are important for multiple reasons. It probes that the board of directors unarguably knew about the medical clinic account that the Serda family and the prosecution state that Jason opened as a hidden account that no one knew about. The second thing to notice about these specific minutes is that Dr. Paat was not present at this meeting so he would not known about this account’s creation; therefore, he did not lie in trial about not knowing of its existence.
