<div style="" class=""><span style="" class="">The draft budget
is attached. As you can see on the bottom of the Operating
Budget sheet, this budget is has a deficit of $10,402, so we
will need to make decisions on where to put our resources.
The numbers in the Operating Budget sheet come from the Acct
Detail sheet. Comparisons to the last two off years (2011
and 2013) and to this year are included. The bottom of the
Acct Detail sheet has notes explaining the numbers.<br
style="">
<br style="" class="">
The budget expects the Chair and the Executive Director to
solicit $20,000 each, with the rest of the LNC also raising
$20,000.<br style="" class="">
<br style="" class="">
Administrative costs (number 40) are reduced due to savings
from the building purchase. The actual Office expenses for
next year are shown in the Office Exps sheet, copied to
8170-Total Occupancy & Related on the Acct Detail sheet.<br
style="" class="">
<br style="" class="">
Compensation is based on the salaries and benefits for 2014,
including the last salaries for the Receptionist and LP News
Editor positions that became open this year. The budget does
not include the potential of $25,000 for staff bonuses,
which depend on meeting revenue goals.<br style="" class="">
<br style="" class="">
$15,000 was budgeted for Affiliate support.<br style=""
class="">
<br style="" class="">
We budgeted $5000 for candidate training such as the Who’s
driving educational program.<br style="" class="">
<br style="" class="">
The Campus Support fund has $3287 in it, so we budgeted
$3000 for campus support.<br style="" class="">
<br style="" class="">
We budgeted $5000 for Initiatives Campaign support.<br
style="" class="">
<br style="" class="">
The number of LP News issues is back to four per year, which
is the same as the last two off years. Each LP New issues
costs $8600.<br style="" class="">
<br style="" class="">
Per the Policy Manual, $60,000 is to be raised for the
Building Fund to pay down the principle on the office
mortgage.<br style="" class="">
<br style="" class="">
Capital expenses gets $15,000, which includes IT.<br
style="" class="">
<br style="" class="">
There is a possibility of getting the maximum annual
allowable ($32,400 plus the inflation adjustment) from a
bequest. This is not finalized, so we did not include the
amount in the budget.<br style="" class="">

<div style="" class="">The Executive
Committee has reviewed and made some
adjustments to the draft budget.<br
style="" class="">
<br style="" class="">
</div>
You may recall that in the September LNC
meeting in Alexandria, we adopted a motion,
"<span class=""
style="text-decoration:none;">that the
LNC have an informal conference
approximately 2 weeks prior to the
December
session in order to review the draft
budget to be proposed at that session."<br
style="" class="">
<br style="" class="">
</span></div>
<span class="" style="text-decoration:none;">In
terms of scheduling a time for this review,
Robert Kraus will be off work following the
Thanksgiving holiday until December 2nd, and
we need him to be available to field
questions during this review.<br style=""
class="">
<br style="" class="">
</span></div>
<span class="" style="text-decoration:none;">The
current proposed time to have a budget review
with the full LNC is December 3rd at 9pm
Eastern / 6pm Pacific.<br style="" class="">
<br style="" class="">
</span></div>
<span class="" style="text-decoration:none;">How
well does that proposed schedule work for the
rest of the LNC? Please respond to let us know
if you would be available then or not.<br
