The Employment Department has successfullykicked off the workability seminar series for Spring 1992. This months series was hosted by Curt Meyers of US Bancorp, and Jim Bombino of Nike. The attendance of both sessions were approximately 23 candidatescandidates. The overall feedback was very positive. Some of the comments were, itwasvery motivating to seethe Portlandareaemployers participating and working closely with the Urban League Employment Center. The employer comments were the UL Employment department has done a great job creating a clear and precise outline for resume writing and interviewing skills. This outline allows the flexibility of the guest speaker to do very little preparation for the workshop series. Placements for the month were down considerable from last month, although stillstillabovelast years placements.placements.There were more interviews for administrative positions, but the job offers/placements were at the entry level. This is a concern we are addressing with the various employers.

There was a press conference with the State Police to recruit state troopers. The State Police are interested in working with the Urban League on a continuous basis for hiring needs as well as addressing cultural diversity issues. The individual appointment scheduling will be modified to two to three group orientations per week. This group orientation will consist oftheemploymentemployntent recruiterexplainingtheservices available at the UL Employment Center and how they can be best utilized by the candidates seeking employment information. We'll evaluate this process one month from now to see if this can expedite the candidates chances of finding a job.(Currently, we have individual appointments scheduled 12-15 days in advance.

Aging Services Information:

Aging ServicesServices mademade aa recoin:mendationrecommendation toto theirtheir advisoryadvisory committee toto establish countywide direction to ensure that we serve clients with the greatest need with O.P.I. funds. (Oregon Project Independent ) The recommendation was to eliminate from the current caseload of OPI clients those who score J through N in the survivability scale and raise the cut-off level.Therefore we will be cutting aPIOPI services to 15 clients. There are about 40 clients who score at the lowest priority level. Limit new intakes for OPI services to clients who score priority levels A through I. This will have an impact on the service we will be able to provide to seniors. Jim McConnell gave a report on next years budget plans. ASD (Aging Services Division) will continue to fund current services but will not fund add packages suchsuch asas HomeHome delivereddelivered ]nealmeal assessment,assessment, EastEast Senior development , transportation and more. ASD will be making changes in the services provided by District Centers. ASD will contract with district centers to provide these services. Focal Point, Case Management, Information and Referral,Referral Volunteer Services. Short Term Intervention Services are being cut.cute This cut will not effect clients services, but it will increase ou Information and Referral count.

Programs:

Client! Contract Statistics: For the month of March we enrolled 10 new Short Term Intervention clients and 5 Case Management\OPI client. These 15 new clients raise the new enrollment total to 98 new clients this fiscal year. Case Managers are reviewing their caseloads to began cutting services to clients who are in the J through HM priority level.

Senior Service Department has 4 months left in this contract year, as of February 28,1992 we have expended 53.05 % of the contract dollars. Because Short Term Intervention units are low and Case Management units are high we have made a shift in unit count to be provided for both of these service area. April's report will show the unit change for these two service area.

Met with the Oregon Education Association (OEA) presidentand somesame of their staff regarding "alleged" racist statements made by one of their staff regarding the abilities of African Americans. Incident resolved as well as it can be.

The current person in line in this two-person department, isa Caucasian female.female. AccordingAccording to meeting participants, she understands theconcern and realizes that it is not a question of her qualificationsor abilities. Students and staff are now workingworking onon optionsoptions toto searchsearch forfor a department chair. It is my understanding that this is also the desireof the administration.

RECOMMENDATIONRE COMMENDATI ON

John Jacob, National Urban League President/CEO,recently mentioned in one of his "To Be Equal" column's regardingpolice departnents:departments: So long asas officersofficers presuntepresume thatthat BlackBlackmen are dangerous and threatening, and that swift, excessive violenceis the only way to control them,them, therethere willwill bebe more King cases. More multicultural training is needed and aggressive recruitment of African Americanand other people of color as police officers. At least the presence of these officers can act asa brake on the overt expression of racist attitudes. Strong civilian review boards with the power to discipline errant officersand to oversee police activities,activities, isis essentialessential to counter the "us against them" mentality that all-too-oftenpervades police work..."

I RECOMMEND THAT WE BECOME INVOLVED WITHDISCUSSIONS, TASK FORCES, OR OTHER ENTITIES THAT MAY BE SET UP TO PUSHFOR A STRONG POLICE CITIZEN REVIEW PROCESS.

The current one is a joke. According to Jack Ramsey, former chair of the Portland PolicePolice InternalInternal InvestigationInvestigation AuditAudit CommitteeCommittee (PIIAC), the police write up the initial complaint,try to persuade the complainant that they should not filea complaint,complaint, ifif itit goesgoes further, the police give a ruling, and onlythe appealappeal coniescomes to the "citizens" on PIIAC. During the appeal, theycan only review the report, they cannot callin officers or anything. There isis supposed to be a last stage, butno one recalls when any complaint has reached that far, that is itgoes to city council to review.

The Board of Directors Urban League of Portland

Dear Members of the Board:

Presented here are June, 1992, Combined Balance Sheet, Statement of Revenue and Expense and Changes in Fund Balances Report, and the Comparative Statement of Support Revenue & Expense History (1989- 1992) for the Urban League of Portland. Please note in the Comparative Statement of Support Revenue & Expense History that the line items headed "Special Events" represents gross funds raised in revenues and cost in expenses for each year. In prior years these dollars where shown as net in the revenue section. In the future, rather than netting the dollars, special events' costs will be included in the budget.

These reports are for management use only and are unaudited. These reports do present fairly the actual revenues and expenses for the period except as noted in financial statements. THE ATTACHED REPORTS ARE PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS. THESE REPORTS WERE PUBLISHED BEFORE YEAR END ADJUSTMENTS AS A CONVENIENCE TO THE BOARD OF THE AGENCY'S FINANCIAL CONDITION FOR THE PERIOD ENDING JUNE 30, 1992.

Though itis not shownin these combined financial reports, separate accounts are maintained for each fund to ensure the observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use of resources available to the League. These accounts are maintained in accordance with the principles of fund accounting. The staff, in cooperation with the Finance Committee, is continually working toward developing uniformuniform standardsstandards on specialprojects and accountability for restricted contributions.

FINANCE COMMITTEE: The committee met July 6, 1992, and will be meeting again July 13 and 15 to review year end reports and FY '93 budget requirements. The focus of the committee was not only where we are as we close FYFY 92,92, butbut whatwhat areare wewe qoinqgoing to do in FY '93 to meet the challenges and opportunities with limited resources. The committee will be preparing its presentation for the Board at its July 13th and 15th meetings.

FACILITY COMMITTEE: The final meeting of the task force acting as a sub-committee to the Facilities Committee met in June.A full report with recommendations will be submitted to the Facilities Committee at its meeting scheduled for July 15, 1992. The committee plans to submit it recommendations to the

ANATIONAL full Board at the JulyJuly meeting.meeting. URBAN LEAGUE AFFILIATE

A United Way Agency PRSONNLPERSONNEL COMHITTE:COMMITTEE: As Mr. Gallagher shared with the Board at it June meeting, the Personnel Committee is reviewing the documentationwithmodifications on almost every page. Hundreds of hours have already been spent reviewing the draft manual. There are some major policy decisions still needing review by the Board. The document will not be completed before the July Board meeting.

"DONOR WALL" - We are looking for someone to donate the "Donor Wall". There is a place to engrave the donor's name. Cost: $2,000.

Currently, restricted funds andand facilitiesfacilities areare inina negative position. The modest reductions in expenditures for June helped reduce the deficit in restricted funds. As a part of year end closing, interfund receivables/payables will be offset.The impact - unrestricted funds will be subsidizing any deficits experienced by any program as of the fiscal year end. This places a burden on the League's allocation of general funds. Land, building and equipment fund - Reminder: It is hoped that in the coming fiscal year the Board will find a means to fund depreciation. Currently our capital assets are being depleted without resources to refurbish or replenish this asset.

Lobbyist position - Reminder: The estimated cost for this program is expected to exceed $50,000. As requested by the Board, these costs are being incorporated in FY '93 budget. However, it should be noted that the resources to fund this project have yet to materialize.

employmentEmployment Services Reminder: TheThe plightplight ofof thisthis departmentdepartment is at best critical. This operation is now being totally funded by general (unrestricted) funds.There are no resouces to continue operations. The staff is looking to the Finance Committee and Board for direction. This program is a vital part of the Urban League's mission in the community. The Finance Committee will be addressing this issue at the July Board meeting.

If you have any questions regarding these reports, please give me a call before the Board meeting.

The Center also had aa high school student to work as a clerical assistance through the Private Industry Council.

When students began the session, they were given a diagnostic test in the three subject areas, Language, MathandNathand reading.

As an incentive, they allowed to pull a prize whenever they passed a module test. We also had an AVIA gymgym bag as a prize when a student completed the levels of testing in each subject area.

The weather permitted the group to walk to the park near Harriet Tubman Middle School for lunch and also a field trip to the Title Wave Bookstore. One of the tutors was a science/biology major and brought in aa nunthernumber ofof animalsanimals thatthat thethe studentsstudents hadhad notnot seen before.

The Board of Directors Urban League of Portland

Dear Members of the Board:

Presented here are June, 1992, Combined Balance Sheet, Statement of Revenue and Expense and Changes in Fund Balances Report

Please note: Though completed, a July financial report is not included in this packet. Publication of this report for the Board is pending completion of the FY t93'93 budget.The focus of the staff and the Finance committee has been preparation of the budget and year end closing. The year end audit will begin Monday, August 17, 1992.

These reports are for management use only and are unaudited. These reports do present fairly the actual revenues and expenses for the period. These reports include end of year adjustments.

Though itit is not shown inin thesethese combinedcombined financialfinancial reports,reports, separate accounts are maintained for each fund to ensure the observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use of resources available toto thethe League.League. These accounts are maintainedmaintained in accordance with the principles of fund accounting. The staff, in cooperation with the Finance Committee, is continually working toward developingdeveloping uniform standardsstandards on specialprojects and accountability for restricted contributions.

FINANCE COMMITTEE: The committee met July 13, 15, and August 10th to review year end reports and FYFl '93 budget requirements. The focus of the committee was not only where we are as we close FYFl 92, but what are we going to do in FYFl '93 to meet the challenges and opportunities with limited resources.

FACILITY COMMITTEE: The final meeting of the task force acting as a sub-committee to the Facilities Committee met in June. A full report is enclosed with your Board packet.

PERSONNEL COMMITTEE: No activity to report.

Employment Services - Reminder: The plight of this department is at best critical. This operation is now being totally funded by general (unrestricted) funds. This program is a vital part of the Urban League's mission in the community. The Finance Committee will be addressing this issue at the August Board meeting. Budgeting - Presented in this packet is a one page summary of prior year actual with a proposed budget for Fiscal Yearlear 1993. The Finance Committee will share more details at the August Board meeting. The budget and resource requirements, once approved by the Board, serve as a basis for establishing control and review criteria. The budget presented here provides a plan of action based upon agency goals and objectives expressed in monetary terms. Though the preparation of budgets in general is a time consuming process, review and monitoring of the agency's monetary goals and objectives must take place to effectively measure the League's accomplishments. Each manager will ultimately be expected to answer when costs and expenses exceed an assumed level, or when revenue is well below forecast. Format and Presentation - The Urban League of Portland maintains its books and records and presents its combined financial statements arranged in what is described as a natural account classification. United Way reporting, on the other hand, requires the AnnualBudget package to be presented in termsofthe functional services of the agency or pre-defined program components. The budget spread sheet that will be presented at the Board meeting will provide a breakdown by department.

Preparation of the Budget - The first step in the budgeting process was to define those agency goals and objectivesin specific quantitative terms. These goals and objectives are developed by the programs the board has elected to pursue and then broken down by fund.

Correct budgeting enables us to set goals for financial results in each department, and for the organization as a whole. It is hoped, through this process we can improve budgeting success for the Urban League of Portland by evaluating past budgets and the degree of accuracy. Ultimately,we will be able to select appropriate methods for estimating the future, meaning greater revenues and improved perceptions by management and the Board of our value as a farsighted and capable agency.

A final note. Properly prepared and used, it is hoped this budget will maximize utilization of revenues, reduce unnecessary spending, and help to clearly define how immediate steps can be taken to expand necessary services, e.g., Employment Department, endowments and grants, in pursing ourmission. Additional comments, explanations, and recommendation will be incorporated in the review of the budget as we compare the levels of assumptions and ask questions. Communication, confidence, and solutions, apply to every phase of this process. Budget reporting is a forum that presents opportunities. Growth comes not by avoiding difficulty, but by facing and overcoming it. The assumptions and process that are shared with you are some of the major steps that have gone into making up this fiscal year's budget.

BUDGET REVIEW AND ANALYSIS

Comparative Statement of Support Revenue & Expense History: This report reflects 3 years of historical data. The far right column contains the proposed budget for fiscal year 1993. This is the best historical data we have available on ULP to use in the budget process. However, it should be noted, we have attempted to remove theextraordinary line items fromthecurrent budget, e.g, construction and major improvements, small one time projects that are not anticipated in the coming year, as well as, taking into consideration the fiscal problems of fiscal 1988-90. Due to the impact that a staff accountant and government relationships type have on wages and related payroll cost, they are not included in the budget. This was at the direction of the Finance Committee. Therefore, to include these positions add an estimate of $28,000 and $25,000 respectively to the budget plus 25% in related cost. This means an additional $66,250 to the current proposed budget. The 25% represents an experience rate of 2% for workers' compensation, 10% for payroll taxes, 11% for employee benefits, and 3% to cover the other incidental cost, e.g. travel, training and supplies.

Budget by Functional Area - Detail reports are on file that outline the costcostfor eacheach functionalfunctionalarea. The inputfrom other committees is critical in this process.

An added drain on cash flow this fiscalfiscal yearyearis funding of depreciation. It takes an estimated $200,000 to maintain and operate Urban Plaza. Obligations for operation of the Urban Plaza go on whether or not there is an Urban League. Facilities will be handled in more detail under separate cover as a part of the presentation by the Facilities Committee. Any recommendations presented by the Committee and passed by the Board that have associated cost will bein addition to the operating budget proposed.

The Program Directors have worked hard to present what they feel is the best monetary interpretationinterpretation ofof thethe ULP'sULP's BoardBoard ofof Directors'Directors' plan to serve the community. Thanks to the Program Directors and staff for a job well done.done.A special thanks to James Whitehead for his assistance as staff accountant during this interim period for his contribution to the Urban League. Also a special thanks to the Finance Committee for their contributions and vote of confidence.

If you have any questions regarding these reports, please give me a call before the Board meeting.
