Investments:
Progress Report from Mitchell, Vaught, and Taylor.
David Vaught: Bought two treasuries. A five-year$100,000 treasury with a 1.875 yield to maturity and a
nine-year$120,000 treasury with a 2.32 yield to maturity. Paid$113,000 for the$120,000 nine-year bond.
Significant portion of portfolio invested in US Treasury Bonds. One million, seven hundred fifty thousand dollar
investment gain since beginning of portfolio, and $150,000 since MVT took over fixed income only on 12/31/13.
That investment gain in a low interest rate bond market is reality. Strategy has been to invest in short duration bonds
due to uncertainty in how fast interest rates would rise. If rates continue to rise slowly, MVT can take risk of adding
longer duration bonds. That will be strategy going forward. The bond market lost 1.2%and our portfolio only lost
0.7%in a negative bond market due to the conservative investment strategy.

Citizen Comments: Larry DeBord-confirmed with David Vaught the benchmark is the Barclays Intermediate. Great
Lakes Advisors (GLA)underperformed for the second quarter in a row. Through June 30,GLA was at 5.49%
and the S&P 500 was 9.32%. The mutual fund portion of our portfolio that GLA manages has outperformed the last
two quarters, at 11.27%compared to 9.32% of S&P 500. The blended performance would be 7.46%to 9.32%of S&P
500. Larry DeBord suggested giving GLA the benefit of the doubt based on past performance and believes they will
turn it around.
