BASWG Executive Committee reviews PY4 budget items, explores Google nonprofit credit and hosting expense
Summary
Agenda notes from the Jan. 9 BASWG Executive Committee meeting list PY4 budget development considerations—reference to a $2,000 Google nonprofit program, an estimated $12,000 annual website/hosting cost, and a financial-management item mentioning Jennifer Hutchins; no formal budget approval was recorded.
The BASWG Executive Committee reviewed PY4 budget-development items during its Jan. 9, 2025 online meeting, according to the distributed minutes. Agenda notes cite the Google nonprofit program with a $2,000 figure and list website and hosting costs estimated at $12,000 per year.
The minutes state the committee will "try" the Google nonprofit program to obtain funds for BASWG; the document does not record a formal approval, a motion, or a vote authorizing application. The $12,000 hosting estimate appears in the same agenda line for web development but the minutes do not specify whether the amount is a bid, an annual subscription estimate, or an upper-bound figure.
The agenda includes a financial-management item at 9:35 a.m. and names "Jennifer Hutchins, head of non profits" in the minutes text in conjunction with that item; the minutes do not provide a quotation or further detail about Hutchins' role or any recommendation she made during the meeting.
No formal motions, vote tallies, contract numbers or implementation dates for budget actions are recorded in the minutes provided. The PV notes list the PY4 Executive Committee ballot later in the agenda but do not show outcomes. The meeting closed with a reminder of the annual meeting on Feb. 13, 2025 at Eastern Maine Community College.
Because the minutes supplied are brief agenda-style notes, the financial items require follow-up for clarity and formal authorization: the committee should document any application to the Google nonprofit program, obtain a formal hosting bid, and record motions or votes for budget line items in a future meeting record.
