| - | == Budget authorization ==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Like any well-governed organization, our authorization to spend is
| + | |
| - | tied to our budget. See for example the
| + | |
| - | [[Board of Directors/2013-12-10|December 10, 2013]] budget motion.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | {{blockquote| | + | |
| - | ''Suggestion Motion:'' Moved by ______________, seconded by ______________ that the __(year)-(year)__ budget
| + | |
| - | be adopted as (presented/amended) and that expenditures be authorized to the total of
| + | |
| - | each line item of the budget, with any individual expenditure of over $500 requiring
| + | |
| - | additional board approval.
| + | |
| - | }}
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | What this means is that we have budget categories and an upper limit
| + | |
| - | of spending in those categories. E.g. $1800 for satellite phones,
| + | |
| - | $100 for advertising, equipment maintenance $3000.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | We've preauthorized payments less than $500 for those categories, as
| + | |
| - | long as they don't go over the category limit. Those cheques don't
| + | |
| - | have to go before the board, they can be signed right away by the
| + | |
| - | signing authorities (Administrator, President, Vice-President, Treasurer).
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | == Exceeding budget ==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Any payment that will take us beyond the limit for a budget category
| + | |
| - | has to go before the board, even if the amount is less than $500.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Whenever
| + | |
| - | we're about to or projected to exceed the limit of a budget category,
| + | |
| - | the administrator or treasurer should highlight that to board, and a
| + | |
| - | discussion should result of how it will impact our organization.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Most organizations have a difficult decision at that point
| + | |
| - | as they decide whether to go into the red or to cut back on other
| + | |
| - | spending or beef up their fundraising.
