With the help of staff, our many volunteers, and other elected officials, we were able to achieve many of our goals and made significant progress on many others. Some of the more notable accomplishments are listed below. • The Board remains committed to minimizing tax increases and delivering the best services possible with the resources available. The budgets approved at the Annual Town Meeting May 2nd for FY2016 required an override of $323,921 to fund the D-Y Regional School assessment but due to a reduction in exempt debt the residential tax burden increased by only 2.0% including the override. The Town’s financial position continued to improve during 2015. Thanks to conservative revenue estimates, departments spending less than the amounts budgeted, and initiatives of the Finance Staff to improve collections, we closed the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015 with $3.1 million in Free Cash. This year the Board adopted detailed fiscal policies to ensure that this positive trend continues. Some of the key elements of those policies are: o The Town will avoid non-recurring revenue sources, including available fund balance and free cash to fund recurring operating expenditures. o The annual budget presented will first secure core services and required mandates. o Commitments to new wage rate increases and service enhancements can be considered after core services have been secured with recurring revenue. • Last year Yarmouth implemented the new Permitting and Licensing process, consolidating Building Permits, Health Permits and Licenses, Business Licensing, and Inspectional Services into one application to more efficiently process the permits and licenses issued annually. In this past year, the system processed over 11,000 permits, generating over $1.1 million in revenue. Additionally, as part of the new Permitting and Licensing application, Yarmouth also moved forward with offering the ability for the public to apply and pay for permits and licenses online, as well as at kiosks located in Town Hall. Additionally, residents and businesses now have the ability to research property information via the Town’s website. To date, we now provide access to over 1.5 million documents containing property information. We are excited to provide residents, businesses, and visitors access to government services online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We continue to streamline the system and add new capabilities in order to meet the Town’s goals of affordably increasing customer service for its citizens and establishing the Town as a business-friendly community.

  • The Role of Greed Perceptions in Consumer Support for Social Ventures
    To Profit or Not to Profit? The Role of Greed Perceptions in Consumer Support for Social Ventures SAEROM LEE LISA E. BOLTON KAREN PAGE WINTERICH An increasing number of social ventures are for-profit companies (i.e., for- profit social ventures) that seek to advance a social cause while making a profit. In a series of seven studies, this research investigates consumer sup- port for organizations as a function of their social mission and profit orienta- tion. The impact of profit orientation on consumer support depends on the prominence of the organization’s social mission. For organizations with a prominent social mission, profits are interpreted as a signal of greed; absent a prominent social mission, a for-profit orientation can instead imply greater competence. As a result, consumer support of for-profit social ventures suffers in comparison to both nonprofits and traditional for-profits—a downside to the organizational benefits of for-profit social ventures identified in prior research. In addition, this research investigates organizational factors—including exces- sive organizational spending, profit perceptions, and operational efficiency cues—that alter greed perceptions and consequently support for for-profit so- cial ventures. Together, this research sheds light on consumer reaction to organizations that support social causes, with implications for the social ven- ture marketplace, including the nonprofit versus for-profit quandary faced by social entrepreneurs. Keywords: for-profit social ventures, nonprofit, greed, social mission, profit orienta- tion, communal norms A social entrepreneur’s quandary: non-profit or for-profit? Saerom Lee ([email protected]) is assistant professor of marketing —New York Times, 10 July 2013 at the University of Texas at San Antonio, College of Business, One For love or lucre UTSA Circle, San Antonio, TX 78249.
