| M2022-002 | Quarterly Meeting | 1/1/2022 | Motion for additional printing of minutes: The funding for hard copies of the Area Secretary minutes was reduced in the 2020 budget meeting to mitigate the loss from printing copies that were not being used. The Budget Committee cut cost so that we may fully fund our Delegate. At the July Assembly, many members expressed concern that there were no copies available. The Area Secretary provided a minimal amount of copies (30) during the October Assembly and the cost exceeded the budgeted amount for the year, which was $100 for the entire year of 2021. This motion is a request to increase the funding for copies for 2022 AND request the difference between the amount funded for 2021 and the amount actually paid for additional copies. Budgeted $100/2021 Actual Cost $213.25/October Assembly Difference $113.25/2021. The amount requested for 2022 will be an additional $700 calculated as follows: Budgeted $100 Actual Cost $200/Assembly ($800 Total) Difference $700. The Committee voted FOR this motion by majority vote. | Withdrawn | 1,5,6,25 |

| M2019-004 | Quarterly Meeting | 4/14/2019 | Michelle H. Finance Chair 2020 Proposed Budget – • Spreadsheet available at www.aa-seta.org on the Finance page.• 2020 Proposed Budget passed unanimously | Passed Unanimously | 1,5,6 |
| M2019-001 | Quarterly Meeting | 1/20/2019 | Vern P. Motion for 2018 Hotel Lodging Expense Accounting – ● Motion: Full, accurate, and complete report of 2018 lodging expenses, itemized by budget holder and any other needed budget categories, including refunds from Hotel(s), and accuracy verified with 2018 budget holders, be created and shared with the area at the next area assembly. Should the treasurer not believe they can accomplish this, then this motion shall be fulfilled by the Finance Committee or an Ad-Hoc committee, and the treasurer shall participate in such committee to assist in generating the report. Should the report indicate that overpayment to a Hotel(s) or others be revealed then the treasurer or appropriate committee shall develop an action plan to recover the area’s funds. Intent: To provide the groups, districts, and members of the Area with an accurate report of lodging expenses, reimbursements, and potential overpayments to hotel(s) or others. Background: In 2018 the Sheraton N. Houston began requiring that hotel rooms be paid in advance. This created a budgetary expense reporting problem in that the Treasurer would allocate lodging expenses against each budget holder's budget, even when the budget holder was not utilizing lodging as they were local to the Sheraton and did not need or want a hotel room. The Treasurer allowed that if she was notified in advance in e-mail by a given deadline that a budget holder would not need the hotel room, then she would not log it as an expense against that budget holder's budget. In practice, this did not happen, in the case of this budget holder, the Treasurer was notified a hotel room would not be needed for the April or July assemblies, yet there was a lodging expense for logged in the budget expense summary sent by the Treasurer on 9/24. Additionally, in talking with two other Houston-based budget holders who did not use hotel rooms, they were unaware of this arrangement, and so had not notified the treasurer via e-mail. Thus, they would still have had lodging expenses allocated against their budgets despite never having actually realized such an expense. Problems: 1) Reporting of expenses that did not actually occur against a budget holder’s budget 2) Potential missing money – where did the money go that was reported as an expense? a. Was the hotel overpaid for rooms never booked or used? b. Did something else happen to the money? ● Area Committee was able to reach substantial unanimity; will present to Area Assembly 1/20/19 | Passed | 1,5,6,20 |
