Committee weighs Camp Yackety Yak request against applicant budgets
Summary
Members debated awarding a $2,500 request to Camp Yackety Yak and noted the camp's total project budget of $84,700 and cash balances; committee members split between full funding and more conservative partial awards pending report-backs.
Committee members discussed Camp Yackety Yak's application in detail, citing improved application quality and the program's measurable data (number of West Linn participants) while also reviewing the applicant's balance sheet and projected summer cash flow.
As staff noted, "their total project budget for the entire summer camp is $84,700," and some members observed the organization had $168,000 in cash and a $73,000 net income as of March 31. Members recognized that cash flow may be negative during the summer season when deposits are held and payroll is incurred, which factored into some members' hesitation about funding the full request.
The group debated putting a $2,500 placeholder for the camp and agreed to revisit the allocation as they finalized totals and reviewed remaining funds.
