Notes from the August meeting

 

The committee was asked how they prefer to track budget changes. Some options: 
  • Keep it the same with quarterly budget updates
  • Do an actual plus forecast/lock down the budget, making adjustments from the original  budget as needed
The committee is leaning toward locking down a budget and making adjustments as needed, and does want to make changes if it will add a significant amount of work. David will review the options and get back to committee.
