I.                   Information for the record

A.     The committee agreed to make a general policy for a bidded audit at least every 5 years.

B.     The committee agreed to set aside $50,000 from unrestricted reserve for use for Percept contracts with the presbyteries

C.     The committee agreed to recommend to the executive committee the following: That a review and evaluation of the work, ministry and constituency of the synod include an examination of the potential funding streams, identification of sustainable synod programs & ministries and evaluation of how synod enhances other entities and programs

D.     The committee agreed that the Crisp money will be expended only when interest funds are available.

E.      The committee recommends that the mission initiative committee do all it can do to strengthen endowment account and avoid spending down the corpus in order to sustain the program for a long as possible. Unspent distributions at the end of the 3 year period should go into the endowment account if possible.  Recommend that they explore a spend-down policy that reinvests a part of the interest into the endowment account.

F.      The committee voted to refer the resolution form the Communications Division to the Executive Committee.
