Presentation and Approval of the 2015 Church Budget

Motion was made by William Jeffrion, Chairman of the Board of Turstees and approved by the Governing Council at its January 8, 2015 special meeting that the Budget for 2015 be approved as submitted.  Motion was seconded by Helen Green.

John Etter pointed out to the congregation that we can support the deficit for 2015 but that we are running down our reserves and this is not a budget that we can maintain.  He supported adopting the budget but wanted all to be aware that this cannot continue.  President Curry Miller reiterated that we only have enough money for one year and 10 months if we do not do something to change our circumstances.  He reported that the Governing Council and the Board of Trustees are working on this problem.

A voice vote was taken the budget for 2015 was approved having one nay vote.
