Current Practice   When we became a new Area our budget was based on what contributions that had been historically received from Area 92's geographic area groups. The total was then split between committees & area expenses. At the time we had no way to foresee how the Area would mature regarding financial responsibility. This was only a starting point. As we have grown, contributions have increased. Perhaps a re-evaluation is in order. (See motion 95.6 from the Silverdale Assembly)

If Passed   If passed this motion would increase our annual budget by $1000 for these four committees total. A budget and contribution commitment would be affected.

If Not Passed   If not passed the PI, CPC, Treatment & Archives credit lines would remain at $250 per year each.

Pros   The requested credit line increase isn't much money, it's only about 10% of the current Area 92 budget. Considering the scope of responsibilities over a wide, geographically dispersed area, this current line of credit doesn't seem adequate.

Cons   The current lines of credit have not been used, so why increase them?

Additional Information   Area 92 Treasurer stated we should be able to accommodate passing of the motion without any problems. Area Officers should ensure that the committees are knowledgeable about their financial resources. Also, excess year end working reserves are given to GSO.

While not stated in the Preassembly proceedings, several District 4 members feel that individual committees should be able to request and receive more funding if their budget needs can't be met by the allocated line of credit. [an error occurred while processing this directive]
