2023 Budget Vote

History

12/6/23 - Vote announced on the mailing list
12/8/23 - Language locked in.
12/13/23 - Vote of the membership on this budget.

Background

PS1 brings in over 200k per year. Some of that money has to be spent on things such as rent and electricity (I assume per the bylaws) and some of it the membership gets to decide how to spend it. The part that the membership controls could be done via 10's or 100's of individual votes throughout the year, but there is something to be said for having one big vote at the beginning of the year, and that is what this is all about. There does not have to be any money allocated for additional votes, and as the organizations financial position changes we will have more or less money to work with.

The budget spreadsheet is to help predict, but not define how money will be saved or spent. Only what is in the language of this vote does.

Aims

This budget is designed with the following goals:

Set aside funds for other emergency expenses such as health and safety, building maintenance/improvements/code compliance, and city occupancy.
Authorize the Board to spend money on normal administrative expenses not already authorized by the bylaws.
Predict expenditures based on a conservative membership model that shows 0% growth based on November 2022 membership and income calculations.

Additional Notes

For additional documentation and calculations please see the 2024 Budget worksheet

Funding of savings goals/accounts should be amortized over the year. Spending in other categories can still occur before these goals are met.
If things get better, great. We will still have our savings fund.
If things get worse, the membership and or the board can make adjustments.
