General Policy Updates
- Steph sent a bunch of changes to financial policies. Based on when job descriptions where updated and then matching to make sure they match based on job titles. A couple changes to process such as:
- paying digitally vs having to pay by check if there isn’t a fee
- paying payroll to have ED review before any payments on benefits are paid to give an extra layer of oversight
- Credit Card individual charge limit - $2,500 cap currenlty. Steph to chat with Veronica to see about changing that limit. Raise to <$10k becuase at that point you would need Board approval anyway. Steph to update and add to the document.
- Ask Robert to review policies to see about changes he suggested when we first adopted the policy manual. NF to email and copy Lloyd/Kristen.
- NF to look at other changes discussed
Goal to have everything reviewed by next month for final review and recommendation to the full board.
