BUDGET FOR 2012: The proposed 2012 Budget for Christ Church Cathedral was presented by the Treasurer, John McGarry. The proposed budget had been made available both online and in print. Highlighted items: · Income: Harvest Supper monies are not available as the monies potentially will pay for new chairs for the Hall. · $25,000 dollars will be moved to the operating fund from the Everlasting Fund 3 as needed for Cathedral repairs: leaking roof. Concern was expressed over drawing from the Everlasting Fund. Also a comment was made that a fund raiser should be considered again. The Treasurer pointed out that the Restoration Fund can not be used for Cathedral repairs and upkeep that are not defined as Restoration. Restoration does not include leaks in the windows or roof. These repairs and upkeep must be done to maintain the integrity of the building. The annual maintenance budget cannot cover these very costly repairs.
