color:#1F497D'>*<b>puts the Seneschal hat on</b>* - While I’m sure that
most people in the Barony would agree with your and Finn’s opinion that
we should let the Kingdom keep the money that is earmarked to come back to the
Barony, we do, however have a specific financial policy that we do need to
follow (the 3 meeting discussion/approval process). This will be more than $50
so it can’t go under the “Seneschal discussion” section. And
it’s not an emergency so there is no valid reason to circumvent our
normal process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'><br>
Therefore what I recommend (will do) is that at next business meeting, we bring
up for approval that the monies we get back from Kingdom from the settlement be
given back to Kingdom. We run that thru our normal business/approval process
and done (if it gets approved of course).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>I know that it’s extra paper/leg work to accept the money
and then give it back. However, it is the right process to follow. And in the
end, the same result is achieved. So in short, everyone can feel free to
discuss the merits about giving the money back here on the e-mail list, but we
will <b>not</b> be deciding anything “official” here.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>So I bring this up on the list because we do not have a
meeting between now and the dead line. I will give a summary of the
issue, my thoughts, and then post what Baroness Giovanna posted on the
Pentamere page so you can read it in full if you wish.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Basically, does the Barony want 70% of the money it had to
pay out for the lawsuit returned to it or does it want the kingdom to keep it
to make up for shortfalls in the budget. We need to let Kingdom know by
March 9.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>My thoughts<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>1) As far as I know the Barony is doing well
financially. We don't need the money.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>2) We gave it not expecting to get it back<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>3) I have faith that the Kingdom Exchequer knows what
she is talking about. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>So we should let Kingdom keep it. Now if I am wrong on
points 1-3, I may change my mind, but that is where I stand. Thoughts?<o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
Unto the groups of the Middle Kingdom does Bantiarna Briana Morgan of the
Valley and the members of the Midrealm Financial Committee send greetings,<br>
<br>
As you know the SCA Inc, has settled with the insurance company and received a
portion of the funds back. In general terms the populace was told two-thirds.
When the Middle Kingdom received the check and compared to the amount paid it
equated to 70 percent returned.<br>
<br>
The Financial Committee is willing to return 70 percent of the amount paid to
each group, but are running into a financial constraint.<br>
<br>
Due to Kingdom Level events not making as much as was budgeted and the Pennsic
Profit half of its expected income, the Kingdom is currently experiencing a
budgetary shortfall in comparison to budgeted expenses. To offset the shortfall
from the lower Pennsic Profit share, we ask each group consider if they could
afford to have less than the 70 percent returned. Please respond to <a
href="mailto:exchequer@midrealm.org">exchequer@midrealm.org</a> with your
group's decision no later than 9 March 2013.<br>
<br>
Any non-response will be taken as a no and the returned funds will be at the 70
percent rate.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
