BARC Budget/Loan Action As noted earlier the ALA-APA ended FY09 with a negative net asset balance of ($263,671). The Finance & Audit Committee discussed this point during their fall meeting in October, 2009. This issue was further discussed via conference call with the ALA Executive Board and senior management on December 2, 2009. After consultation with ALA’s legal counsel, it was decided that the amount of the original loan of $250,000 should be increased to $275,000. This recommendation was forwarded to BARC for their review. On Monday January 4, 2010 the BARC members met via conference call to review the recommendation forwarded by senior management and the ALA Executive Board. BARC reviewed and discussed the merits of the recommended action and determined that this was the best course of action in order to move forward with the mission of the APA. As a result of the discussion the following action was taken; Motion: After discussion and review, BARC concurs with the recommendation forwarded from ALA management and the ALA Executive Board to increase the amount of the original from $250,000 to $275,00. The Executive Director noted the increase in the loan was based on the understanding that the expense reductions in the 2010 budget will allow the APA to begin making principal payments in 2010.
