Fwd: branding budget will need adjustment again
I'm just warning you all that this issue will hopefully be brought to the LNC soon. We hit nearly $20,000 in branding sales in the past week. Would have been even higher but I've been holding off sending emails promoting items because we ran out of a few key items and staff has been trying to catch up with all the orders. The stuff approximately pays for itself. I'd like to see the branding budget increased by $100,000 per month in revenue and expenses for August, September, and October. I don't buy in huge quantities, so it's unlikely we'll get stuck with obsolete materials. Robert may provide more details soon.

From the Vegas meeting LNC minutes:
"Due to increased sales of branding items, Mr. Hagan moved to increase both budget line 26-Brand Development Revenues and line 55-Brand Development Expenses from $65,000 to $100,000. Following debate, the motion was adopted without objection."

Back on July 29, I asked for a change in the budget to branding that amounted to $100,000 per month. Rather than increase the budget by $100,000 per month, the LNC increased the budget by exactly $100,000 total. I was not overly concerned by that because I expected the LNC would probably want to increase the budget further once we used up the first additional $100,000. Neither the LNC nor staff predicted in December 2015 that interest in our promotional materials would be so high.

Just for the record, we increased it by $150,000. I expect the chair will sponsor a motion, if not, I'll put one out shortly. Joshua A. Katz Westbrook CT Planning Commission (L in R seat) On Thu, Sep 15, 2016 at 12:50 PM, Wes Benedict <wes.benedict@lp.org> wrote:
