2009 Budget Design Notes

Our budget has grown in size and complexity over the past 6 years, and the Finance Committee felt that it was time for an overhaul on how we design and present the budget. Conducting our district business through the use of the Committee structure is important, so we have divided the budget numbers into those committees, giving each a number we can use going forward. We have also identified expense categories that seem to cover just about everything.

Using Accounts, Committees and Categories like this enables us to plan for future revenue and expense transactions that we might have mischaracterized in the past, or that we haven't seen before.
