- Prologue
- In November 1990, NEC approved the following:
- a) That General Synod 1992 be asked to approve the merging of the Apportionment and Assessment Budgets into one budget, beginning in 1994, and that the dioceses be given adequate notice of the implications of this proposal.
- b) That National Executive Council recommend for consideration by General Synod a new budgeting process, beginning with the 1994 budget year, which would permit the A & F Committee to use the prior year's diocesan support of the national budgets as the base. To that base would be applied the percentage change in the combined budget spending ceiling in relation to the prior years, plus 3%, to arrive at the diocesan support for the combined budget; and that the "fair share" formula calculations continue to be made, for purposes of comparison.
- c) That these two resolutions be sent to all dioceses, after approval by NEC, to enable diocesan finance and executive committees to discuss their implications for the dioceses, with a request that a report be sent to the Administration and Finance Committee prior to the March 1992 meetings, so that further refinement may be considered by NEC.
- Text of motion
- That resolution (a) above be affirmed and that resolution (b) be rescinded.
- The mover and seconder agreed to change the date from 1994 to 1997, and to add the words "after appropriate amendments to the Constitution and Canon VI are approved at the 1995 General Synod"; and to add at the end of motion (a) the following words "and that, where requested, consultation be entered into with national committees and dioceses for discussion of the procedures proposed."
- The motion, as revised, now reads:
- That General Synod 1992 be asked to approve the merging of the Apportionment and Assessment Budgets into one budget, beginning in 1997, after appropriate amendments to the Constitution and Canon VI are approved at the 1995 General Synod;
- that the dioceses be given adequate notice of the implications of this proposal;
- that, where requested, consultation be entered into with national committees and dioceses for discussion of the procedures proposed; and
- that resolution (b) regarding a new budgeting process (see page 40) be rescinded. CARRIED #45-03-92
