In some years, the Budget has been adopted with fundraising goals set without consulting this Committee, occasionally leading to unrealistic goals. This practice should be discouraged.
In some years, the Board has decided to forego the use of a Budget. Not as unwise as it may appear, at this point our only discretionary spending is on Collection Development, Book Repair, and the rare capital purchase, all of which will be submitted to the Board for prior approval.
