ALL CHURCH HOME FOR CHILDREN FINANCE COMMITTEE MINUTES January 8, 2009 Finance Committee: Brigit Thompson Sherrie Cyrier Jim Rhodes Lou Ann Blaylock Larry Autrey Robert Simpson Staff: Wayne Carson Hollis Hutchison Sarah Proctor Julie Brown Minutes: A motion to approve minutes from the December 9th, 2008 meeting was made by Sherrie Cyrier and seconded by Larry Autrey. Motion passed. November Financials: Sarah reviewed the November, 2008 financials with the committee. Brigit Thompson asked how changes in our invested asset values would affect our rolling average calculation for endowment use. Sarah said that she is waiting for the December investment reports to arrive and then she will present an estimated calculation for the 2010 budget at the next finance meeting. Sherrie Cyrier inquired about the breakdown of our mineral assets between natural gas and oil. Wayne Carson said we will try to get that information from Bank of America, to be communicated back to the committee at the March meeting. 2008 Capital Spending Report: Sarah reviewed the 2008 Capital Spending report with the committee. Because the net operating revenues and expenses have been well within budget, capital spending has exceeded the original budget amount in order to take care of needs in 2008 rather than waiting until 2009. Reverter Clause: Wayne reported to the committee that we have closed on the purchase of the reverter clause on the Summit Property from the Bryce Trust, through JP Morgan Chase. The purchase was for $1.631 million and was financed through our line of credit with JP Morgan Chase. Wayne told the committee that a request would be submitted to the Bryce Trust trustees requesting a donation. If the donation is made, the funds could be used to pay down the line of credit. A motion was made to approve a plan to use donated funds received from the Bryce Trust, if an unrestricted donation is made, to pay down the line of credit. If additional debt remains, it may be paid down with endowment funds to the extent that the operations are under budget, or it may be paid down from funds received from the sale of the Summit property. Larry Autrey made the motion and Jim Rhodes seconded. The motion was unanimously approved. Wichita Construction Update: Wayne reported that we are getting ready to move forward in spending capital dollars for the Wichita project. We are having our first Construction Committee meeting this afternoon. Wayne will report back to the committee next month and give a more detailed report of how much the construction will cost and options for financing the costs. Wayne reported that some of the cost may be paid with the sale of the Brants property. Wayne indicated to the committee that we may need to delay the 2nd phase if costs exceed estimates or if fundraising should lag. Wayne reported that in 2009, we will plan to complete the Bean Bldg, and the site work and the chapel. In 2010, we should be ready to move forward with the Admin. Bldg, Dillard Bldg, and the Welcome Center. Larry Autrey mentioned that we should have a plan on what to do if we should get an offer on the Summit Property and needed to move from this property in a timely manner. Wayne agreed and will seek advice from a developer, possibly Mike Reilly. Strategic Plan: Wayne reviewed the status of the 3 year Strategic Plan with the Committee. Wayne & Sarah are currently reviewing the Revenues & Expenses objectives. Sarah is working on a new template to recatagorize expenses for better analysis of subsidized costs. She will present the template at the February meeting. The committee will be asked to participate in future discussions about how to use financial and non financial information for program review and decision making. 2009 Calendar: Sarah presented a tentative calendar of agenda items for the 2009 Finance Committee meetings. Agenda items will be added as needed during the year. Discussion regarding time and day for committee meetings resulted in agreement to keep them on the second Thursday of each month from noon to 1 PM. Other Business: Sherrie Cyrier asked what was going on with Stevens County and Wayne let her know that as far as he knew the deal is dead and it hasn’t gone anywhere. Next meeting is February 12th, 2009 from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. Action Items: What Written report from Rogers & Co. for September meeting. Who When SP Sept. Status
