CMM 2017-05-14 original

Attending:  8

1. 1. The meeting opened with worship.

   2. Fourth Month Minutes:  Friends recognized that the Fourth Month minutes had been approved as they were written. No printed copy was available at this Fifth Month Meeting, so we agreed that the minutes did not need to be approved again.

   3. Budget Committee Report:  The fiscal year is 92% gone and only 85% of the budgeted funds have been collected. This apparent shortfall is not a problem but many expenses have been less than we budgeted for. Therefore the shortfall in donations has been matched by a shortfall in donations. The budget committee predicts that we will make all budgeted donations to other organizations (NEYM, AFSC, etc.) and have paid all our expenses and end the year in the black.

   4. Budget for 2017-2018:  The fiscal year ends 5/31/17. The budget committee proposed a balanced budget for next year with total income and total expenses of $25,766. This budget is slightly more than our predicted actuals for this year, and slightly less than we budgeted a year ago. We adopted the proposed budget with no modifications (see attached) so that we will not start the fiscal year (6/1/2017-5/31/2018) with no adopted budget. Committees and individuals are encourage to contact the budget committee with suggested modifications.

   5. Solar Committee:  The committee reported that there has been little progress during the past month. They are waiting to hear from South Church about whether they will partner with us on the project. If they do not find another organization to partner with, they may encourage individual households with Unitil meters to consider partnering with the project. It is possible that organizational/legal hurdles may make the project unfeasible.

   6. Nominating Committee Report:  The committee presented a full report for next year. Some changes included: Ruth Heath will be replaced by Richard Kleinschmidt as a co-clerk; Dave Woolpert will be replaced by Chris Haigh as treasurer; Greg Heath will be formally named Communications Assistant; PSEC Committee is reactivated with Dave Woolpert as convenor. Based on suggestions from those gathered, we made several changes to committee appointments. We then approved the modified list which is attached. We asked the outgoing Nominating Committee for suggest a sixth person for the committee on Ministry and Counsel.

   7. Donation to Holguin Meeting:  Two people from Dover Quarterly Meeting are journeying to Cuba and they will visit the Quarter’s sister Meeting in Holguin. The Quarter pledged to donate $500 to Holguin Meeting. Our Meeting decided to send $100 from unrestricted funds to the Quarter to assist with this pledge.

   8. The meeting closed with worship, purposing to meet again on 6/4/2017.
