[Lnc-business] September Financial Reports

[Joshua Katz]

I will support this, of course.  I have two questions, one for Tim and one
for the LNC in general:

1.  I know we generally sell items at close to cost, because the main goal
is getting our name out.  For the same reason, I'm not opposed to selling
things below cost, at times.  I just am curious what the source of the
difference is - is it inventory, or are we selling some things below cost?

2.  General question: is there any taste on the LNC for a pegged budgeting
system for these sorts of matched lines?  My thought is to amend the Policy
Manual to allow unlimited overage on these lines, so long as it is fully
funded (or within some range) by the corresponding revenue line, but I
don't want to work out the language unless I have some idea that there's a
taste for making a change along those lines.
