Budget 2009 q3

concerns for q3 and onward

• Income is about $40k more per quarter than previously budgeted
  • Recycling income
    • NCER reimbursement is outright more than anticipated, about $3500/mo
    • Other recycling income is up largely due to increased gold shipments, primarily because we are getting more stuff donated, also increased steel and better price for it. Liane anticipates a dip in donations in september, followed by a bump back up in october. She thinks 12,000 per month is a reasonable and conservative estimate (up from $10,500).
    • per Dave, there are arrangements in the works which could more than make up for a dip in donations
  • Sales

• adding max headroom - adds 2250-2400 to monthly budget with same staffing
• adding one prebuild intern
  • cost?
• add on the side - one collective member with all the trimmings
  • cost?
• if we do a single fulltime americorp position, what is the annual cost??
  • Ali says it was $10k 2 yrs ago
  • George is currently looking into Americorps info and will get back with the number

• 6 months to get 200,000 in reserve
  • need $60k moved to reach this goal
  • could move $40k now
  • net for this year so far is $65k but we were uncomfortably low at the beginning of the year.

adding a committed? wait for hr
