FY 2014 … expecting more success Registration fees Recreation – unchanged since 2008 Travel - targeted increases to selected age groups/teams (1.3% average annual increase over last four years) Budget provides for lower operating cash flows 72% of expenditures are personnel costs; more staffing (finance director, Rec director, GK director) & higher compensation (coaches) Lower membership, fewer Travel teams (boys side, DA related) Continue in good financial position Looking at Police Field with turf & lights
MYS is responsible with your money Accumulating cash for FDI & working capital needs only Volunteer Board sets fees/spending levels Expenses routinely under budget Monitoring market for registration fees/compensation Improved Internal Controls w/ Finance Director Still room for improvement… Interested volunteers? …please step forward!
