FY 13 Heartland District Budget
Fiscal Year 2013 (2012-2013) is the last year for separate administrative functions for Heartland • By July 1, 2013, we will have a unified administrative structure, including budget, for Heartland, Central MidWest and Prairie Star Districts, regardless of governance decisions • Next year will be asked to accept the budget for MidAmerica for FY14 LAST SOLO BUDGET
Three reasons for amalgamated service delivery: • Changing nature of religious communities and trends in religion find us needing to do different work, and do it differently • Technology allows us to do the work without being limited by physical geography • We can no longer financially afford to do business as we used to in this area WHY?
In 2006, Delegates to the Heartland Meeting voted to increase Fair Share giving in two increments to $22 • The first increase was in 2007 to $20 • The second should have been to $22 in 2009 • The economy intervened, and increase delayed • Increased by $1 in 2010 • Increase by $1 in July 2012 for this FY13 budget; three years beyond “approved” date for this rise FAIR SHARE RATE
MOVED: • ACCEPTANCE OF THE BUDGET FOR HEARTLAND DISTRICT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2013, BEING JULY 1, 2012 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2013. MOTION FOR FY13
There will be costs associated with the change to MidAmerica Region from the three Districts • Costs will be recovered in a period of 2-4 years in savings • Not moving toward regionalization will require severe cuts in staffing in Heartland: we receive over $25K from these Districts to allow us to have current staffing levels • Will be funded by CMWD and PSD • Rather budget too much than not enough TRANSITION BUDGET
MOTION: • The members of the Heartland District hereby issue a formal thank you to both Prairie Star and Central Midwest Districts for their carrying the financial responsibility of the transition as we work together, committed to the creation of a new regional governance structure. APPRECIATION
