The Executive Board (EBoard) of the El Cerrito Democratic Club (Club) recommends a budget that outspends our revenue by almost $2,500. Attached to this article are three tables, the Proposed 2019 budget, Budgets and Actuals over the past five years, and 2018 Budget versus Actual Expenditures. Last year was the first time in the past 5 years where the Club spent more than its revenue, despite proposed negative budgets since 2014. Comments on the individual budget lines are provided for Club member review. Last year’s deficit is in large part due to Donations to Democratic Party of Contra Costa County events and fewer attendees at the Annual Dinner.
The proposed budget will be considered for adoption at the January 22, 2019 meeting. Only Active Members (dues paid) can participate in the vote.
