Treasurer Report – Nov 19, 2014 Election & Business Meeting (Ceman)
2014 3Qtr Financial highlights
- Revenues are slightly under Plan/Budget (~10%) due to shortfalls in several categories: Lib. Book Sales, DVD Rentals, Internet Sales, and Donations.
- Expenses are ~20% above Plan/Budget primarily due to over-expenditures in the Library Books category (procurements are actually over budget for the entire year) and Bookstore supplies (unplanned expenditures due to the bookstore move/ location change). This Library Books over-budget situation was worked proactively with HB Library Asst. Mgr. Lydia Wang who was not, aware that there was a HB FOL budget/ limit. The Library has agreed to curtail Book ordering/ purchasing until after Dec 1st which effectively moves any future billing into the 2015 calendar year and Budget. The 2015 Plan/Budget categories and allocations will be reviewed based 2014 (and past years) performance.
- Please note that Revenues exceed Expenses by ~$7000 (~30%) in the 2014 Plan/Budget (in other words, there is some additional budget to work with and cover over expenditures)
- Internet Sales for the first three quarters are slightly under plan
- Recent Donations include a generous $700 (Seeger) and $100 donations from the Kiwanis and from Lombardi Construction in honor of Moneca Vance
Miscellaneous Items
- Wayland & Vukadinovich LLP, CPAs have sent notice that they will no longer be preparing Tax Returns for Tax Exempt organizations (i.e., HB FOL). Their letter included advice and instructions on how we can prepare Forms 990 (federal) and 199N (state), straightforward since our gross receipts are less than $50,000. I will attempt to follow their instructions to prepare the 2014 HB FOL returns, which are submitted in May. Instructions were also included for preparing and filing the 2015 Charitable Org Registration to be submitted in May to the CA Attorney General office

- The Volunteer Organizations Liability Insurance premium was mailed recently to renew our policy for 2015
Old Business
- HB FOL Assets and Investment Accounts - Transfer of assets from Morgan Stanley to Fidelity was completed in September. George Ceman and Robert Luthardt are both registered on the new Fidelity account and have "owner" administrative access. George Ceman also has online account access through the Fidelity.com site. The investment plan for the Fidelity account remains consistent with previous board discussions, and is based on the strategy where monies are allocated as follows: ~ 70% long term (> 5 years), ~20% mid term (1-5 years) and ~10% short term (< 1 years). Mutual Fund options in each of these categories have been identified working with Fidelity VP, Matthew Kim (our account representative), and purchases are planned in December.
