<p>Sam, I'll favor whatever is quickest. (Note: I did read
Alicia's reply, and it may be an LNC vote.)<br>
<br>
Also, can you tell me what the "VR" stands for in the '<span>70-Ballot
Access VR & Related Exp', line? (My brain says
'virtual reality', but I'm sure that's not right. haha) </span><br>

<p>Staff has asked me to run this proposed budget change
motion past the LNC to determine if, for timing reasons,
there is any objection to the EC handling this in a quick
meeting rather than taking at least a week for an email
ballot. There would be no overall budget expense increase,
the motion merely moves money from one budget line to
another. We have an excess in the Ballot Access budget for
the remainder of the year. With the election fast upon us
the Candidate Support staff would like to be able to
implement this program as soon as possible.</p>
<p><span>Motion: Decrease the budget for line 70-Ballot Access
VR & Related Exp by $34,400 from $250,000 to $216,600
(a $34,400 decrease) and increase the budget for line
60-Candidate, Campaign & Initiatives from $58,800 to
$92,200 (a $34,400 increase) to cover the cost of existing
candidate recruitment and campaigns advisor support staff,
and to provide up to $20,000 for candidate field support
expenses</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">. </span><span><span> </span></span></p>

<p>"Dear LNC/EC:</p>
<p>Staff is requesting a budget change for candidate field
support. We are trying to clarify if this is something
the EC has authority to change. My reading of the Policy
Manual is that the EC has the authority to move expenses
within the Program Expense area from 70-Ballot Access VR
& Related Exp to 60-Candidate, Campaign &
Initiatives. "</p>
<p>1) Budget<br>
The budget may be amended at any time by a majority vote
of the LNC.31 However,<span> </span><strong>the</strong><strong><br>
</strong><strong>Executive Committee is authorized to
amend expense items within one<span> </span><u>budget
area</u>, as long as</strong><strong><br>
</strong><strong>the total expense for that budget area
is not increased.32</strong><br>
The Chair, with the consent of the Executive Committee,
is authorized to make the following<br>
budget adjustments without LNC approval: 33<br>
• Addition of lines for previously unbudgeted expenses,
the total of which shall not<br>
exceed 1% of budgeted revenues<br>
• An increase in a line for budgeted expense provided
there is a corresponding reduction<br>
from the contingency fund.<br>
The Chair, without the consent of the Executive
Committee, is authorized to expend up to<br>
$1,000 in discretionary funds within any (rolling) three
month period, the total of which shall<br>
not exceed $5,000 per term unless those expenditures are
later ratified by the LNC. 34</p>
