[Ponte Alto] Proper Procedures for Financial Commitments

[thrid at aol.com]

Your Excellency,

As we have tried to?lay out the proposal before, we are looking at 3 separate monthly contracts with the School.? Each?contract, for one months use of the site,?would be committing members of the Barony to $520.? If after one month, the plan is a total failure,?we can decide not to renew it.? I don't believe a commitment from the Barony of $520, especially when a large potion of it will be coming from the individual resources of its members is beyond the scope of the financial committee.? 

>From what I can tell, based on the financial commitments of the three of the people (including my self) who have posted?there is already a $300 per month commitment to see the barony does not take a lost.? In addition, as I have previously state, If need be, I will deposite $920 into

While?We do think this is a very worthy idea,?the Barony?has policies and procedures in place to deal with this sort of situation (which our Baronial Exchequer has already explained).? Trying to force this through the Emergency Financial Committee is *not* the proper way to do this.? 

?

What you are seeking to do is akin to running an event - i.e. expecting the Barony to be financially responsible for a obtaining a site, and expecting to be reimbursed by collection of a "site fee".? Your original proposal would have the Barony?aquiring a financial?liability?of?over $1,500.? This is more than the budget for?most events we have run.? Every event we run, from its initial conception onward,?has to be approved by the Barony, not just the Emergency Financial Committee.? Please do bring your proposal to the Baronial business meeting so that it can be discussed and dealt with in the proper forum.

?

Yours in Service,

Marcellus Capoziello da Napoli and Belphoebe de Givet

Baron and Baroness of Ponte Alto
