1. Financial Secretary Report
o
The conversion from Shelby .v5 to Shelby Next is
complete. We are now using Shelby Next
to keep track of our finances and worship attendance. There are many more features available in the
Shelby Next package for which we are paying but each will require additional
set up and research into how to use them.
For now, Linda would like to concentrate on getting comfortable with the
portion we are using now and put off pursuing the additional features in a
couple of months.
o
Linda will make 2020 envelope order before end
of September for a price break. If the
cost does not exceed the budgeted amount, Linda is going to have the special
envelopes stuffed in the boxes with the offering envelopes.
2. Treasurer's Report (see July 2019 reports
in Drop Box)
o
Paul reviewed the July financial reports with
the committee. The balance in the checking account and in account 28612-Roof
Repair includes $70000.00 from the insurance company for roof repair. This amount has subsequently been paid to the
roofing company.
o
The Finance Committee voted unanimously to
transfer the $372.14 in Ann Wiltfang’s memorial fund # 28315 to the Funeral Service
Meals #29000
o
It was noted that the funds in Pentecost
Offering # 28519 and OGHS #28500 need to be sent to General Assembly. Paul will make a reminder during the Session
meeting about this.
o
We have not kept up with our plan to pay $1000
per month of the per capita amount due.
Sandy will take care of getting Karen to pay $1000 to Presbytery in
August.
o
Paul reminded us that committees need to
provide 2020 proposed budget amounts in September
3. Joy Scholarship
Yvonne Chi, Owen
Lockwood, Brennen Lee, Celeste Cummins’ schools have been sent $500 each.
4. Blue Ridge Bank Account – Authorized Check
Signers
The Finance Committee
recommends that we: Remove– Robert Fray, Paul Vance , Barbara Gregory, Dorothy Mitchell
Add– Jana Henderson and Sandra Moore (Treasurer)
5. Property Insurance
Office Manager, Karen Argo, provided a proposal from an
insurance company that she has researched.
It appears the cost would be significantly less than what we are
currently paying for property insurance.
Our current insurance made a huge increase in the deductible after the
roof repair. The current insurance renews
in April. Select committee members will review
the new proposal and plan to make a recommendation about this to the Session in
September.
6. Manual of Operations – Finance
Committee has approved the information Linda put into the template for Manual
of Operations for the Finance Committee.
Linda will send this to Avis.
Next meeting will be 12:30 PM
on September 9th at Sandy’s house. A
light lunch will be served and Paul will be there!
Opening devotional prayer will be given by Ed Ingram
