  • Agenda Item: Iii
    MEMORANDUM To: NRVRC Board Members From: Jessica Barrett, Finance Technician Date: October 16, 2019 Re: September 2019 Financial Statements The September 2019 Agencywide Revenue and Expenditure Report and Balance Sheet are enclosed for your review. Financial reports are reviewed by the Executive Committee prior to inclusion in the meeting packet. The Agencywide Revenue and Expense report compares actual year to date receipts and expenses to the FY19-20 budget adopted by the Commission at the June 27, 2019 meeting. The financial operations of the agency are somewhat fluid and projects, added and modified throughout the year, along with the high volume of Workforce program activities, impact the adopted budget. To provide clarity, Commission and Workforce Development Board activities are separated on the agencywide report. As of month-end September 2019 (25% of the fiscal year), Commission year to date revenues are 28.16% and expenses are 27.59% of adopted budget. The two largest budget expense lines, Salary and Fringe, are in line with budget at 26.42% and 28.11%, respectively. Looking at the balance sheet, Accounts Receivable is $581,739. Of this total, Workforce receivables are $265,206 (46%) and current. Fiscal year-end procedures require all outstanding projects at year-end be closed into accounts receivable, resulting in an above average balance at the beginning of the fiscal year, but should return to average levels as the year progresses. The Executive Committee reviews all aged receivables over 60 days and no receivables are deemed uncollectible. Net Projects ($114,156) represents project expenses, primarily benchmark projects, that cannot be invoiced yet and posted to receivables.

(“Clear Channel”) is one of the world’s leading media and entertainment companies and is the licensee of locally-programmed and locally- oriented radio and television stations that are dedicated to serving communities across the United States. Clear Channel has been able to expand its ability to deliver superior service to the public in part as a result of the deregulatory changes to the local radio ownership rule that Congress mandated in the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (“1996 Act”). These changes were a result of Congress’ recognition of the growing rivalry that terrestrial broadcasters faced at the time of the 1996 Act’s passage, and the fact that regulatory relief would aid the industry in its quest to remain competitive.

  • VT Graduate Says School's Closeness Will Help Healing
    VT graduate says school’s closeness will help healing SALT LAKE CITY – The April 16 shooting rampage on the campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va., was felt by alumni who live far from the university. Daniel O. Adams, a Virginia Tech alumnus who is director of the composite mechanics laboratory at the University of Utah, was shocked by the events that took place at the school where he met and married his wife, Cate. His wife was a campus minister at the time. She currently teaches theology at Judge Memorial Catholic High School in Salt Lake City. The couple met at Virginia Tech in 1988 when Adams, who earned his master’s degree in science at the school in 1983, was studying for his doctorate. Even though they left the campus 16 years ago, they have both kept in touch with friends they made there, something they attribute to the school’s familylike atmosphere. That sense of closeness among students and faculty, according to Daniel Adams, is what guarantees that the school will move forward after the tragedy. In 1990, the couple was married in the school’s War Memorial Chapel. He earned his doctorate in mechanical engineering in 1991 and was named Virginia Tech’s outstanding young alumni in 2000. Norris Hall, where most of the shootings took place, was Daniel Adam’s home away from home while he was at the university. “I know that building like the back of my hand,” he said, noting that his office for two years when he was studying for his doctorate was one floor below the room where the students were jumping out the windows to escape the shooting rampage.
