Commission reviews budget: $8,000 annual fund, about $5,192 left through Oct. 1
Summary
Commission members reviewed interim financials prepared by staff, confirmed an $8,000 annual budget and discussed that about $5,192 remained after planned food and event costs; members emphasized spending rules and timing before fiscal year end.
Commission leaders presented an interim financial update noting the commission’s annual budget is $8,000 and that spending so far was $1,408. Chair reported the current balance available for use is roughly $6,592 before accounting for planned food and other near‑term expenses; after estimating four months of food and other outlays the group repeatedly referenced a working remaining balance of about $5,192.
The chair reminded members that commission funds cannot be donated to other organizations and cannot be used for personal checks. ‘‘We already know that we cannot donate the funds to another organization. We definitely cannot write personal checks to each of us,’’ the chair said. Members discussed timing for purchases given the fiscal year end (discussed as September 30/October 1) and urged coordination with the city secretary and staff to avoid last‑minute ordering problems.
