2015 ALLOCATION PROCESS

1. 2015 ALLOCATION PROCESS METROPOLIS OF ATLANTA November 9, 2013

2. 2015 Allocation • New, simpler allocation form -- See Handout • Revised Excluded Expenditures • Second Priest Expense Deduction • Schedule

3. Revised Excluded Expenditures • Property/Casualty insurance will not be excluded – only catastrophic insurance • Capital expenditures of less than $2.5K will be excluded to the extent they are improvements and not repairs, for example • Adding a new computer --Yes • Repairing broken pews -- No

4. Second Priest Expense Reduction • Subject is still being analyzed by the Archdiocese finance committee – no easy solution • If it were to be handled within the current allocation process and methodology, the impact on parishes’ allocation would be • Small parishes – a few hundred additional dollars • Medium size parishes – a few thousand additional dollars • Large parishes with one priest – significant increase • Large parishes with two priests – significant reduction
