II. Finance Committee (FC)

A.

Review & Approve November Financials

  • Dashboard: 'Missing' verbiage is misleading, ask Matt to update to 'in process'.
  • FY 21-22 Budget Status Report: we will get a more detailed breakout each quarter but this document allows a quick overview of the major buckets and how we are progressing.  The detailed breakout will be presented at the January FC meeting.  Idea: maybe on these big overview update we can get a key included so we know what the main categories are within each big bucket.
  • Auditing Officer Certification and Approval: update to read "October AP register totaling:" and change the total to reflect AP (6c.) $56,846.08 (number got flipped with Payroll summary).  
  • AP: Why do some vendors show up twice (ex Joule)? In some instances the previous months payment was processed with the next months.
A. Guyton made a motion to recommended the PCM Board of Trustees approve the November financials following the small revisions noted above.
L. Sullivan seconded the motion.
It was agreed that a follow-up email would be sent to Carmel to ensure she does not have any major questions or concerns.
The committee VOTED unanimously to approve the motion.
