*** Donations and Contribution (2008 Actual) excludes $10,000 that was put into a restricted fund account for future year’s use. 

Discussion following presentation of the year’s results:

Following J. Daniels presentation of the above financial results, P. Beine stated that she was in disagreement with the establishment a $40,000 prepaid expenditure for the caulking & tuck pointing of the school and the reclassification $10,000 into a restricted fund (for use in future years).  J. Daniels was asked if the official books could be stated in a manner that could conform to GAAP.  He said that he could.   The financial information to be submitted to the Archdiocese will be stated as requested by P. Beine and in accordance with GAAP.

 

Paula Beine wished to make a motion regarding the Accounting/Financial Statements.  She was asked to withhold the presentation of a motion until next month’s meeting.  She agreed to do so.

.

Income considerations:  Weekly Collections for the year (including Offertory) were significantly more than budgeted ($87,796). Tuition & Other Income were greater than budgeted due to the contributions of the Stehling Grant that was greater than budgeted.   Bequests was adjusted to reflect that $10,000 was set aside in a “restricted” fund, and as such, is not included in the above statement.  This will be “undone” for the report sent on to the Archdiocese.

Expense considerations:  Salaries & Benefits were greater than budgeted due to the cost associated with new staff members in support of newly funded ministries and the Stehling school initiatives.  Supplies & Service greatly exceed the budget due to the cost of the Stewardship campaign (paid to the Walsh Group).     

Capital Expenditures Position:  The Parish will use $40,000 of the “excess revenue” in 2008/2009 for the caulking and tuck pointing of the school buildings.  This will be “undone” for the report sent on to the Archdiocese.  

The primary Capital expenditures made during this prior year were for a new truck ($36.5K) and the ceiling work done in the front of the sacristy ($24,5K). 

Cash Balances:
Following are the Cash balances of other accounts within the Parish as of June 30, 2007:
-          The Church Renovation Fund has a loan balance outstanding of <$55,527>
-          The School Trust Fund has a balance of $1,622,437
-          The Cemetery Fund has a balance of $200,297
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL SITUATION – JULY, 2008
Weekly Envelopes were $6.9K less than budgeted.  No Tuition Participation was received during the month (school not in session). 

 Expenses for Salaries & Benefits were slightly over budget.  Only Maintenance of Grounds was over budget (by $1.8K).  Expenses in total were $9.7K under budget.  Festival income was not transferred to the Parish in July resulting in total Income being $43.4K less than budgeted.  (The Festival did not do as well as in other years; net profit is estimated at $35K rather than the $50K in the budget.)

 

Church Cash balances on hand are $39.3K and $5.1K respectively.
Church Renovation Debt to School Trust Fund $55.4K.
School Cash Accounts are $0 (School year will begin in August).
School Trust Fund balance is $1,622K.
