1. December minutes were approved
2. Financial Secretary Report
o
2019 Statements will be mailed this week.
3. Treasurer's Report (see December 2019
reports in Drop Box)
o
Paul reviewed the December reports with the
committee.
§ 28000
– Special Events (Food and Supplies) was in the negative even after
transferring the $100 from the Blackburn memorial as decided at last month’s
meeting. So Paul transferred some
additional funds to put that account back in the “black”. The Finance Committee recommends that the
Session approve a policy that donation baskets will be put out on the tables
for all meals at BRPC that involve the entire church.
§
28337 - Al Mitchell memorial – 28337 – has been
combined with 28321 – Dot Mitchell memorial and 28321 will be re-named A &
D Mitchell memorial. This fund is
designated for Youth
o
Paul reviewed the books for 2019 and all looked
fine.
4. New Covenant Mutual Funds: Current
balances show a nice increase.
Reserve total = $312,607.69.
Endowment Fund total = $4,447.33.
5.
Employee raises -
Before the 2021 budget is
prepared, the Finance Committee would like the Session to confirm the correct
process for recommending or not recommending that BRPC employees be given a
salary increase.
6.
Congregational Meeting -since worship on 1/12 was cancelled due to weather, the congregational meeting
will now be on 1/19 – Paul will still be available via phone if there are
questions about the year end financial reports and/or 2020 budget
Next meeting will be 1:00
PM on February 10th.
Opening devotional/prayer will be given by Don Young.
Pastor Ron ended our meeting with a prayer.
Respectfully Submitted,
Linda Schumacher
