BASWG approves PY4 budget and authorizes $5,000 in treasurer assistance
Summary
Members approved the PY4 budget after executive-committee review and authorized $5,000 to assist the treasurer; the group also discussed hiring/defining goals for a financial manager to support audits and QuickBooks setup.
At the Feb. 13 BASWG meeting, Treasurer Brian Bernosky presented financial items and the group approved the PY4 budget following review by the executive committee.
Bernosky reviewed PY3 invoicing and said invoices will be circulated; he noted an interim report is due to the Sage Foundation. The executive committee recommended that the organization remain flat-funded for the coming year and outlined goals for a financial manager, including conducting a mock audit of the last several years, ensuring QuickBooks is structured to document large transactions, and generally supporting the treasurer.
Rich May moved to provide $5,000 in financial assistance to support the treasurer; Brian seconded and the motion was recorded as approved. The transcript records a separate motion to authorize the secretary to cast a single executive-committee ballot and discussion about sending Brenda a chat message to capture members' choices; the meeting recorded a resolution to send Brenda a chat message to gather votes (no formal roll-call recorded).
Procedural next steps: invoices will be routed to the correct finance contacts, the interim report to the Sage Foundation will proceed, and members will pursue recruitment or contracting for financial-manager services to meet the stated goals.
