Fifth Month 10, 2015
Attending: 9
5.1 The meeting opened with worship.
5.2 Memorial Minute for Susan Chambers: The meeting discussed the second draft of the Memorial Minute for Susan Chambers, trusting the Minute Committee to consider the suggestions put forward and to finalize the wording. The Memorial Meeting will be on June 21st at 1:00 pm at the Meetinghouse following a potluck.
5.3 Nominations for 2015-16: The slate of proposed officers and committee members for 2015-16 was brought forth by Nominating Committee. The Meeting amended and then approved the slate with great appreciation for the work of the committee and the willingness of those nominated to serve.
5.4 Financial Report: David Woolpert presented the financial report which included projected year-end figures as well as the proposed budget suggested by the Budget Committee.
The total income as of April 2015 is $19,985; total expenses are $20,511 and net income is -$526. The year-end projected total income is $22,515; projected total expenses are $24,575; and projected net income is $2,059.
The meeting discussed the proposed budget for 2015-2016. Budgeted program expenses would be $900; budgeted property expenses would be $16,306; budgeted support would be $7,450; budgeted "other" would be $140; total expenses would thus be $24,796.
The Meeting discussed the difficulties of developing a budget with low attendance at meeting for business. Because we have a projected $2,059 deficit we did not approve the 2015-2016 budget today and will consider it at the next meeting when the fiscal year has ended. Budget committee is going to let people know about the projected deficit during announcements and encourage them to attend the Sixth Month Meeting for Business.
5.5 The meeting closed with worship.
