Members of the SEHAB finance committee with assistance of admin support have the task of ensuring we are accountable for public funds. Our board members strive to 'do more with less'. We are able to budget to accomplish our work plans including capturing community input through geographically broad representation.

Finance Committee May 12, 2006
Janice Jarvis (chair), Jeff Jung, Dave Smith, ZoAnn Morten

New items of business – Forums, meeting with RDG following our full board meetings and consultations (EPMP)

Telephone – switched to conference line on Nov 9, 2005 so some of the first column is while we still had the business line. I’ll be speaking more to this during the communications update.

While we had budgeted for committees, you can see that we ran out of funds prior to use.

We will need to watch carefully the areas that are not tracking to budget as they eat the funds from our committee budgets that we have set as a priority. Workshops / Training, although additional accomodation charges for EPMP could have gone to this column. While the information session was planned to coincide with our SEHAB meeting, there were costs incurred. (but well worth it)

Last year the finance committee got together to go over the SOW prior to signing our contract with department. This didn’t happen this term but we will need to carefully review our budget and tighten a notch or two. * I can’t think of from where though. This was a very productive year with a limited budget.

We continue to struggle with having the information flow to finance chair in a timely manner. The board appreciates the spread sheets and ability to track our budget.
