URBAN LEAGUE FINANCL&L SUMMARY
JULY 11, 2000
The finances of the Urban League are being managed conservatively over the
summer months in anticipation of the renewal of the Portland Public Schools
contract in September 2000. Currently, cash on hand totals approximately $118,000,
and the monthly payroll approximates $40,000. Significant pledges outstanding
include $25,000 from Wells Fargo and $22,500 from OHSU, which are not included
in the current cash balance.
Currently, the League is clearly solvent and progressinH :iy towards financial stability
with a strong fundraising effort under way.
The current restructuring includes the transition of the fiscal functions from VOA to the
League. The scheduled transition is anticipated to be completed by the end of the month.
Along those lines, the League has hired Sherry Lowry to serve as the Director of Finance.
Ms. Lowry has 15-plus years of accounting experience (much of it relating to nonprofit
accounting), and for the past nine months has been responsible for much of the
accounting activity relating to the League as an employee of VOA. She will become a
full-time employee of the League on August 7, and intends to hire two part-time
assistants in the accounting department to implement the newly developed accounting
policies of the League.

REPORT FROM FINANCE/PERSONNEL
July 11, 2000
Page 3
(Cont'd)
With regard to the current operations of the League, the May
31, 2000,
financial
statements confirm our earlier estimates of an operating loss approximating $400,000 for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 2000. The anticipated loss is largely attributable to the
disruption in operationsespecially the fundraising cycleresulting from the
discontinuance of most major programs in October 1999 as a result of the Multnomah
County audit and subsequent actions. Had the League not missed a full fundraising cycle
as a result of the disruption to operations, it is likely that normal flindraising efforts
would have raised between $300,000 and $500,000 in the fiscal year ended June 30,
2000, resulting in a break-even performance.
With regard to future financial considerations, the League will begin making debt-service
payments on March 31, 2000, to the Bank of America with regard to the refinancing loan.
OTHER BUSINESS:
Baruti L. Artharee, Board Member asked the Board for a Letter of Support for Gresham
High School Principal Paul Coakley, who Superintendent Gretchen Schuette has
allegations that his effectiveness of communication and leadership was grounds for his
termination as principal of Gresham High School. After a brief discussion by the board.
A MOTION WAS MADE THAT MARGARET CARTER, INTERIM
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND BOARD MEMBER BARUTI L. ARTHAREE
WOULD SUBMIT A LETTER OF SUPPORT TO THE CHAIR OF THE
GRIESHAM-BARLOW SCHOOL BOARD ON BEHALF OF PRINCIPAL PAUL
COAKLEY. THE MOTION WAS SECONDED. THE MOTION PASSED.
The Board of Directors meeting was adjourned at 9:02 a.m.

As reported in the profit and loss statement for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, the League
generated total revenue approximating $ 1.518 million. This compared with total reported
expenses of $1 .805 million, resulting in a net loss approxunating $287,000.

With regard to the completion of pending program requirements, discussions with Alan Hipolito
are planned in order to determine the timing and costs relating to the completion of the
Environmental Program by the November and December 2000 month-end reporting dates.
The preliminary budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2001, was also discussed with Board
members in attendance. Projected revenues were estimated at $1 .759 million, and total programrelated and operating costs were projected at $ 1.740 million, for an estimated net operating profit
of$1 9,000.
Current projected revenue of $1 .759 million for fiscal year 2001 compares with actual revenue of
$1 .518 million in fiscal year 2000 and $3 .261 million in fiscal year 1999.
The current budget is in a preliminary state as certain prograni revenues are uncertain (e.g.,
Senior Services Program and other Multhomah County and United Way funding). The Board
approved the preliminary budget with the understanding that a revised budget would be
forthcoming as certain program revenues became assured through the signing of
pending/upcoming contracts.

Urban League back on track
In the 11 months' since accounting
deficiencies put the Portland Ur-.
ban League's programs in jeopardy, the agency has emerged as a
leaner organization with asharper set of
pencils. And with last Week's naming of
Maigaret Carter as president and chief
eecutiye, ,the Urban League's outlook
is its best in years.
The board voted for proven eperience, giving Carter the nod for the 10
months she spent turning the, troubled
agency around. The decision came just
one week after Multnomah County officials restored the league's eligibility for
public contracts.
a chief executive to guide policy and
raise money, and a chief operating officer to manage the nuts and bolts.
That should go far in ensuring the
league's future. By dividing the duties
into two positions, the board cuts the
risk of either being.overwhelmed by the
juggling of programs and funding that'
was the roqt of the league's woes.
With Carter as chief. executive, the
boai'd has made a wise choice. Now it
must do,' as' well. in .finding a .strong
manager as the other half of the duo.
Carter is running fotstaté senate, and if
That good news also rewards the
she is elected, it.vill put a little more on
any operating'officer's plate
tough work on the patt of the league's
While the board looks' tO fihlthat posi-
board to restore order to and confi-
tion, it has put more emphasis on its resporisibility to oversee the accounting
function. That's as it should be.
With the county back on board, other
large donors should feel more secure in
returning to the league. Corporate
sponsors still have time to step forward
dence in the 54-year-old social service
agency. The Urban League lost its county support last year after failing repeat-
edlly to fulfill financial repoiting requirements. After the county pulled its
more than $1 million in grants, other
large donrs withdrew as well.
The, past deficits appear to be corrected. The board has reorganized several key functions. Foremost is the separation of leadership into two positions:
for the league's annual fund-raising
dinner, Oct. 4.
The Portland Urban League is back
and its books are in order.

Plans for the Dinner 2000 on October 4 are going along well. Nan Heim, Chair of the Dinner
Committee, will give a report on its progress. This will be a very fun evening. Mrs. Carter asked
the board members to please confirm their table reservations.
As of Oct 1, 2000 our Senior Program will be coming back and Mrs. Carter is working very hard on

The Urban League of Pártland has
won back a key piece of its funding after
the United Way of the Columbia-
Willamette announced that it would restore dollars it stripped from the social
service agency last year.
United Way officials said Friday that
the league would get back roughly
$90,000 for the remainder of the 2000-01
fiscal year.
The money will be used to help pay

financial hole with lax fiscal oversight.
The review also found that Dark and sev-

had spent league money on themselves
without proper documentation.
Dark resigned under a cloud, and
county officials and the United Way,
along with several other donors, held
back donations until they could be assured the problems were remedied.

For this month we are at 85% ADM (Average Daily Membership). Our contract states that we must
maintain at least a 75% ADM, so we are above average again this month.
We have dropped nine students this month. Here is a brief summary of the reasons why...
Student #1: Student became homeless, and did not have any transportation back and forth to school. She was set up
with her probation officer to be placed in a foster home to address her needs, Unfortunately the foster home she was
placed in was located too far away for her to still attend this school.
Student #2: Student had severe attendance issues. She was watching her little brother constantly and then mother
went and moved to Vancouver. She left this student in charge of the house and everything in it. This did not allow the
student to have parental support to continue her education here.
Student #3: Student did not want to go to school. She kept pushing the attendance issue, insofar as coming in and
immediately claiming she was ill and needed to return home almost every day. Student eventually transferred to the
program called LISTOS.
Student #4: Student was suspended because he was caught smoking marijuana on our school property. Student was
informed that after he started the Mainstream Drug and Alcohol program and received an assessment he could return to
school. There was no follow-through. Student decided to remain out of school and to try and get a job.
Student #5: Student was involved in a couple of disciplinary issues regarding his attitude towards other students and
incidents occurring in school. He was living with his aunt, and she could no longer tolerate him, She sent him back
home to California.
Student #6: Student had severe attendance issues. Her grandmother had a stroke and then eventually passed away.
Her grandmother was her major main parent. After she passed away, the student barely even came to school. We
warned her of her attendance issues, and she decided to move to Madras Oregon, where she has other friends that can
assist her.
Student #7: Student had sever attendance issues, She continued to be a disturbance on the rare occasion she did show
up. We spoke with parent about how this may not be the most suitable placement for her, She transferred to Marshall.
Student #8: Student had severe discipline issues. Was suspended twice in a month period. He was very disrespectful
and insubordinate. We tried on several occasions to have appointments with student and the mother to reach a logical
conclusion to assist this student and it was determined that this is not the best place for him.
Student #9: Student was accused of being involved in a gang shooting. His mother feared for his safety so she sent
him out of town until the commotion dies down. He should be returning to our program when he comes back.

For this month we are at 85% ADM (Average Daily Membership). Our contract states that we must
maintain at least a 75% ADM, so we are above average again this month.
We have dropped seven students this month. Here is a brief summary of the reasons why...
Student #1: Student has had several disciplinary issues. He has been given chance after chance. It was decided that
this would not be a good placement any longer for him.
Student #2: Student has been involved in several incidents including arriving late almost every day in the morning,
back from breaks and lunch. He was s.uspended on his first day of school. Student has since transferred to Vocational
Village.
Student #3: Student is a 7th grader who is only 12 years old. We believe when he came in for the intake he felt really
out of place with the older students. He only showed up for the first day of classes and then we were informed by his
foster parent that he would be attending a treatment program for mental health issues. He was given ten days to return
and we did not see him again:
Student #4: Student was enrolled previously in our program. He was a student who really excellel in his academics
before. This time he did not even try. He was given ten days consecutive absences and then he was dropped from our
roll.
Student #5: student only showed up for school tWo days, hewas given ten days to return and then he was dropped
from our roll.
Student #6: Student was enrolled in our program last year and his attendance was a severe issue. He was given ample
opportunity to improve this year and there was no improvement. He was given ten days consecutive absences and then
dropped from our roll.;
Student #7: -Student was enrolled last year and had severe attendance issues. She was given another opportunity this
year and there wasstill no improvement. She was given ten consecutive days absences and then dropped from oUr roll.
