concerns for q3 and onward
Income
- 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
- per Tony, sales numbers (around $49k) were high in april and may because of laptop ramp-up which got a large backlog into the store. More recent number around $44k is more reasonable for ongoing, but he thinks a reasonably cautious estimate is more in the $40-42k range. Additionally, online sales may add something but it is too early to say.
- per Luiz, there are no real events coming up to increase sales significantly, but that they will remain on the higher end. Recommends projecting $50k for the month with the most business days in the next quarter and then scale down by relative number of business days for other months.
- Recycling income
Jul 22 $47,826.09 Aug 21 $45,652.17 Sep 22 $47,826.09 Oct 23 $50,000.00 Nov 17 $36,956.52 Dec 21 $45,652.17
- This assumes a daily avg of $2,173.91
- The actual daily avg since June 2 is $2,289.89
- This budget assumes normalcy plus some staffing increase, but the next time will probably include store being open more days.
- Fundraising
- per both Tony and Luiz, nothing is on the horizon for fundraising other than the give guide
- last years numbers for fundraising (mostly give guide) were nov $1,625.00, dec $4,790.00
- Fundraising
Expenses
Payroll
- adding max headroom
- adds 2250-2400 to monthly budget with same staffing
- adding one prebuild intern
- cost - $1,317.56 $12.67/hr $12.75 to round up
- add on the side - one collective member with all the trimmings
- cost - $2,622.06 $15.13 $15.25 to round up
- 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
- adding a committed?
- if hours-neutral would add $367.40 for health care in a typical case.
- changing a nother to a committed would also mean they would get health care, which means that effectively their cost would go up but in an indirect way.
Savings
- 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.
Production
- add $500/ quarter for power supplies.
- pr will edit their budget proposal this saturday
