Agenda

1.  Cash Disbursements

2.  Legal Funds

3.  Food Funds

4.  Reports

 

Issues Relating to Cash Disbursements

Brad (legal) and B (food) reported a few things that are hindering working group access to cash <$100.  It's not just that folks don't have cash needs, its also that our process is not as transparent or easy to navigate.  Below are three problems and solutions agreed to by me, Rita, B, and Brendan.

1.  People don't know where to find the Cash Disbursement Policy and Form.   SOLUTION:   email all instructions and forms to all WGs and make paper copies available in the Library, Logistics, and Information tents.

 2.  Need for comparison shopping.  At a meeting last week we already agree that this was not actually necessary; the point is that people should try to find things at a good price.  SOLUTION:  eliminate comparison shopping language to be replaced with a simple statement that WGs should make an effort to buy items at a reasonable price.

3. The process of waiting for Logistics to obtain an-inkind donation.  SOLUTION:  if Logistics does not already have the item on hand or cannot provide a high level of certainty that the item will arrive within one day (i.e. because they know that the item requested is almost always donated on a daily basis), then they can put in a cash request right away.  Since this involves only small amounts of weekly money, it seems burdensome to wait for a donations through logistics before moving foward with their cash request.

4. We still don't have daily FAWG coverage to disburse funds.  We last agreed to set up a calendar on google calendar (did anyone do this), and we also discussed maybe not doing this 7 days a week.  we need to wrap up this piece of business. response to Greg's phone call and notes from last night's FAWG meeting on legal funds:

 

Legal Credit Union Account and Cash Needs

1.  Because larger sums of money might need to be available at night when the CU is closed, we agreed that prior to a potential event that could result in mass arrests and the need for bail money, Legal would withdraw funds to be stored in a safe at NLG or some other secure location.   Bail can be paid with cash only, and given the withdrawal limits at an ATM, it is therefore necessary to plan in advance and have a lot of cash on hand at critical moments. 

2.  For more ordinary situations, there are commonly a few arrests per week and it is therefore necessary for Legal to have up approximately $1,000 in cash available at any given time for bail and related legal costs.  An interesting detail is that when you pay bail, which is always in cash, they do not provide any form of receipt -- our jails run on undocumented cash transactions, go figure.   From an accounting standpoint, therefore, we will never see a bail receipt.

3.  We agreed that FAWG would open up a CU account to manage the Legal funds on behalf of Legal.  It is up to FAWG to decide if that will be a second account directly connected to its primary account (which would be particularly useful if we expect funds to move between the two accounts) or if it is a separate, free-standing, account just for the Legal funds.  Either way, Legal will rely on FAWG to open and maintain this account and to handle all deposits and withdrawals.

 

Food Money

Food has been storing their cash, currently over $3K at secure off-site locations. I suggested this is not safe or good practice and that the credit union is a better location.  B agreed and said that Food would open an account within a week.  Food will manage this account, not FAWG.  FAWG will just handle the accounting based on income and expense records provided by FAWG.  We wil provide our Financial Accountability Screen Form to Food so their account signers can be screened.  I think B said that he is currently the only person handling the funds.  He will need to identify a second person for the Credit Union Account.

Finally, B and Brad also agreed that if funds contributed for their specific uses -- food and legal -- were not needed for those purposes but there were other OB financial needs, that those funds should be made available for other uses.  Clearly we are not in that situation right now, but in the future that is useful to know.

 

Brief Reports

Rita gave a report on a mediation session held earlier in the day.  Only Sydney came from the other side, not Paul or their attorney.  The mediator gave PC and SS one week to enforce their claim that FAWG violated the Agreement by filing an injunction to regain the DBA document.  If that is not done within one week, the mediator will turn the document over to FAWG as stipulated in the Agreement.

Rita also gave a brief report about OWS financial management

**spirituality 
things 
moight be awarre that we are having some problems 
so -- thee problems involve issues with the food tent -- evictions -- and the broader comversation about racism and sexism -- they have been having a detrimental effect on the community-- many of the people are standing in front of you are white (talking about the large group that has assembled on the stage) 
many cases these broader conversations have spiraled out of controll -- i don’t know if this is the forum to address them-- we need to not let them happen in private
mic check 
there are clear issues -- of racist conversations happening in our comunity -- we are hurting each other -- we are hurting ourselves -- we have the potential to take these things-- groups of anti racist white groups-- of people of color-- have been talking over and over but it wil take us to iunderstand --- this is pivotal to our work -- this is not dividing out work-- this is our hope as groups of individuals --that we van be accountable to those most affected by systems of white supremicy-- that these people will take a look at how thios comes out ---in our personal relationships---it iw sithout doubt-- white supremicy---is a part of all the other types of supremicy that we need to talk about ----
mic check 
are wr going to have an open and honest discussion around 
tonight about an hour ago i talked to jamahl craqford 
he expressed to me that he had hoped we would discussed 
if we want to adress it here we need to address it here and with concern for those people 
---everyone here taking accountability for yourselves 
if we choose a time to have this conversation within the next 7 days will you come 
*temp check most in agreement**
i think it’s fantastic that we have decided to talk about this 
the important thing is that if we want december 3rd to be succesful we need to tlak about this asap 
i want to propose that we have this discussion tonight 
they’re goijg to let you know what is going on
hi gues i’m courtney from outreach community alot of people here know about the racial tension that has been happenng 
there have been some issues here at camp
women of color have felt uncomfortable 
emails have been sent that are inappropriate
white allies need to speak up about this 
they are here standing as revolutionaries
if you have racial tensions that needs to be talked about 
on t
my name is mec
i have been asked to speak from my heart
i may cry 
i still lnow what i;m talking about
anyone who believes that talking about race willl divide us --is mistaken
those divisions came in with us in this movement 
i’m really honselty want to do that  
i want to give everything 
are you with me ?? (responce eys)
we are a communoity that resembles the world 
before we can hange or liberate it 
we have to awknolege that opression has always defeated every revolutionary movement
we are not exempt from that
we carry the aspirations to change this world 
we carry thie (things) that most impacts marganalized groups
alos effects white people --internalized white supremacy keeps us from ourselves 
i won’t use mic check 
not seeing color will make the problem go away?
not seeing color is a form of denial 
 if i act like i don’t see that this brother is black and beautiful 
and likely to go to prison
then i am denied----i don’t want you to act like i’m not a lesbian 
i want you to treat me no different because of it
who i am as a person is different than who i am as a person 
if we just act like we’re smooth when we see black people that will make it ok
need to make a distinction between old fashioned bigotry and the things that are institutionalized in society
if a duck is a duck then call it a duck 
we have not been able to learn how to call it a duck 
sometimes my intent doess not match our impact 
we hear people that make claims that racism going on 
then the backlash is that OOOOOH NO IT’S NOT!
there is arrogance in that 
white people trying to tell people that it’s not going on 
what i want to do is try to have conversations about how we perpetuate racism without meaning to----
the structures and systems (need to make sure that they are not) maintaining the status quo 
i’ can we please hear from people of color equal to white alli voices ----are you sure? because we've got some shit to say--- ,y brothers and sisters and other folks here do not have any issue with it --- brothers we stand here tonight as allies ---allies don't mean that we are here only to help when we look at the founding of our nation ---people came together they saw needs--to solve needs we got instititions--those institutions were created by people who look like me 
it is the most difficult culture to see---not something we do as individuals 
--it’s not about an interpersonal peice--what i see happening here--those same systems are being created here in subtle 
please stay tuned to the next few days 
*we are finished with announcements 9:04pm
announcement
it’s going to rain this evening be aware of that 
going over hand signals 
chris brings proposal to ga through the --- working group 
reading of the proposal ---
the idea of right now is to try to get a concensus -- 
we have to have a city council sponsopr--- that will take a little time --
Q: could you clarify the relationship between menino and the city council
A menino is separate from the city council this is an appeal to the city council 
Q who do you have in mind for a city councelor
A we need to get concensus on this proposal then we will think about who can sponsor it
thinking about the who seems non productive
POINTS OF INFORMATION
appeal for all people present at the GA to be involved 
Don’t be scurrred 
point of information
the language in this proposal has gone through camp to many individuals and working groups 
it is a relatively short proposal given all the things that are included 
People are discussing now...
more of the factions that occupy boston is representing aren’t represented here
Concern: this is a little bit of POI and a little bit of concern-- the legal team did not approve edit or revise this doccument -- the legal support team of occupyboston has no position on this (proposal) 
call for strong concerns or objections
now moving on to statements of support 
SS: even if this fails we will find out who is a supporter and who is not
SS: i support this-- i see it as a part of our diversity of tactics--this one seems worthwile to me-- 
SS: this is not a statement of support of dissagreement-- what i do know is that the image of occupy boston within a lot of people in city hall is that occupy boston is not representative of their communities and that needs to be addressed
SS i think that this is an imperfect doccument--but it is so good that it puts us in a position--doing all things that will ----show respect for city counelors---i think we should just pass it
SS: i am a resident of the city of boston i just voted for the city council members---i support this --- if you need residents who support this -- and to go ------i will support this and go 
SS: the first time i aw this purposal i said dear god no-- because that objection has not been brought i want to bring it--i thiink that a diversity of tactics means just that 0 supproting this purposal -- does in no way compromises those people who are concerned with working with the state
asking for amendments 
A: i purpose that we do a what is it called a survey and collect signatures from boston residents who support this purposal *called a petition*
A someone on twitter wanted underemployment to be added

CC do we know of any liscence or building codes that prevent this kind of st
CC have we gotten ahold of critical mass to see if they are interested in being involved with bringing them in

POINTS OF INFORMATION
POI The houses are structurally sound they are ---they look rather comfortable --i think it would servet he camp very well 
CC? are they ventelated and safe to sleep in 
I have slept in them and did not feel dizzy but they may be inproved 
STRONG CONCERNS OR OBJECTIONS 
Concern  the cioty will use this as a quote unquote safety concern if they are not fire proof or ventelated to say that we are trying to build houses here 
Concern I have a concern that may be unfounded given that I came in halfway into the conversation--what we are approaching in the next couple of weeks having to deal with the injunction --- have we clarified that with the lawyers yet ---about constructing and bringing in those beautiful smalll houses -- 
Response - i have not but will talk to a lawyer about this 
STATEMENTS OF SUPPORT 
SS I think these houses can provide a good strategy---we an take these to another spot and build occupations around the city
SS i am going to piggy back--little houses work --amazing gettaway supplies--occupy everywhere until we meet at the common 
SS i am building one for myself
SS i think this could bennifit occupy boston and everywhere else as a model=--- this is amazing 
SS george washington your firrst president said “you will do whatever you want you” you want to camp here,,, you camp here he was elected by 100% only to be president 
SS the little house on the greenway it writes itself 
AMENDMENTS 
I would suggest that you write in the proposal that you will find a way to fairly distribute these houses and how to get them into there 
A  i agree with what he said and I have an ideas. those who want one should help build one 
A we should provide malliable skimatics to campers so that they can source their own materials so that campers can build their own materials for free
A i suggest we come up with an awesome name that does not refer to them as houses 
A If we are giving halt the money from our communal pot then we should figure out a way to hare them for communal housing to those who want to stay a couple nights 
A i would say we should research a way to properly ventelate the homes 
A I suggest occubagos (kind of like winnebagos?) 
A please hear this as the hurmor that i intend to share what color are you thinking? i think we should paint them multi color
RESTATING 
i propose up to 1000 dollars to be funded to build to augment the 1000 dollars 
to increase the number of occubagos between 16-20
i am not the czar of occubegos 
the group here is funding them and should decide who gets them

PROPOSAL PASSES! 
note we are 40 people in attendence 
proposal by the ideas working group 
this monday november 28th Ideas working group will be meeting to discuss 
[http://wiki.occupyboston.org/wiki/ideas_group_values_data wiki.occupyboston.org/wiki/ideas_group_values_data]
proposal by the ideas working group 
questions regading the words left out and also why justice is not in the group.
concerns about key values that other groups hold are not include.  groups have been struggling to have their values heard - this list could alienate them.
two sers  of values missing:  anit-opression, racial justice and gender justice;  comm=unity history of strength and resistence.  stories in boston must be honored here.  
proposer answers concerns:  this list is meant to be a living document approved by the GA as a primer to take this back and build the document on the list.    Outreach to opressed groups was not done as much as it should have been.  This list reflects idess of a lot of people.  List is a condensing multiple ways of expressing our values.  Certain words were grabbed.  Just proposing words that might be useful.  
GA interrupted by camper

Hey Finance Working group, can you post the proposal that was passed on the evening GA of 10/15?
Thanks!

I don't think the proposal is in the minutes--they refer to something that was pased out.

I'm frustrated that the finance working group moved its meeting Saturday without leaving a sign at the location announced the night before at the GA, or leaving word of the new location with logistics or media.
When & where will this working group meet again & what did you do at the meeting?
We can't be inclusive if we don't bother to make our activities known. I have skills & experience to contribute & was one of the arrestees on the 11th so I'd like to have access to what's going on. Thanks!

Hi All,

Sorry for the slowness. Starting to get the stuff together and on the page.

==Is there a listserv?==
:[[user:cathyjacobowitz]] Oct 18, 2011 11:34 am
Hi all,

Is there a google group (soon to be moved, I know) or another listserv for the Finance WG? I would love to stay abreast.

Thanks!

==Operating Expenses==
:[[user:jmagly]] Oct 15, 2011 8:21 pm
Ok we know somewhere money is being used to keep things going. So lets try and nail down what the needs are so we can try and better match that.

Whats costs right now are various individuals in the group absorbing that we can possibly spread that out around a larger pool?

==What needs to be done?==
:[[user:dsws]] Oct 7, 2011 4:53 am
The people needed page http://occupyboston.com/2011/10/06/needed-people-to-be-both-onsite-and-virtual-volunteers/#comments says "finance and political science specialists ... Any length of time. 10 minutes or 10 hours."

I can respect disparate points of view. I can head downtown with a warm coat on. What needs to be done?
====re: What needs to be done?====
::[[user:

]] Occupy_Boston
DSWS, you should check in with the media tent at Dewey square because unfortunately that post wasn't very clear on who to contact and what exactly needed to be done. My guess is that you will also want to talk with the Strategy Policy and Planning Group for this particular project. Once you've made contact if you could post the basics of what needs to be done so other can start working remotely.
====re: What needs to be done?====
::[[user:

]] dsws
Well, that was a long T ride to accomplish nothing. The people at the media tent, as of noon, weren't aware of anything they need volunteers for. They have nothing to do with remote anything, and haven't even read the web page.
====re: What needs to be done?====
::[[user:

]] yanikn
That is so odd because they posted the original post calling for volunteers in the first place.

Also, they just posted this address on the website. volunteeroccupybos@gmail.com

Try that.
====re: What needs to be done?====
::[[user:volunteeroccupybos@gmail.com]]

Already emailed that one, too.

Presumably it's different people at the media tent: the ones there at noon don't know what the ones who are there in the evening want done.

Hi dsws thanks for joining.

I'm not surprised there is confusion at this early state. On the ground in the moment the camp i really good at getting things done without directed leadership. Achieving the same across different "shifts" of people will likely continue to be a challenge for the short term.

From talking to a few key folks we have quite a few needs and we are looking toward donations and such to fill those.

Finance i think in this particular scenario I think is an area to start to figure out how to actively fill these needs either by acquiring necessary funding or other alternative means.

Some things that might be nice is to identify some of the more expensive things the camp could use and try to organize some funding to squire those items or borrow them.

'''OccupyBoston Internal Revenue Service and Banking Structure'''

For Occupy Boston to open a credit union account to track donations to the general fund, and any resulting OB expenses, OB needed an Employer Identification Number, provided by the IRS. Gregory Murphy obtained an EIN in the name of OccupyBoston. OccupyBoston's IRS address is OccupyBoston P. O. Box 51162, Boston, MA 02205 .

For the same reason and per credit union requirements, Gregory Murphy obtained a Certificate of Business from the City of Boston. That certificate lists Gregory Murphy dba (doing business as) Occupy Boston Financial Accountability Working Group. This is a temporary measure, simply to get an account open. OB's Financial Accountability Working Group is researching different potential organizational structures for OccupyBoston, and, at some point, will make a recommendation to the GA, in the form of a proposal.

Also, per a mediated Agreement (signed 11/1/11) with Paul Carnes and Sydney Sherrel, Mr. Carnes signed a Withdrawal of Business Certificate for the dba Occupy Boston, filed in his name. That certificate sits in escrow with mediator David Kelston, awaiting the fulfillment of all the  terms of the Agreement.  FAWG contends that FAWG, Mr. Carnes and Ms. Sherrell have satisfied the terms of the Agreement and that Mr. Kelston should deliver, to FAWG, the Withdrawal of Business Certificate dba Occupy Boston. Mr. Carnes and Ms. Sherrell contend that FAWG has violated the terms of the Agreement, have secured legal counsel, and are petitioning Mr. Kelston to return the  Withdrawal of Business Certificate dba OccupyBoston to them.  Mr. Kelston has called for another session (tentatively) set for Monday, 11/14/11, to come to terms with the dispute.

Once FAWG secures the Withdrawal of Business Certificate dba OccupyBoston, it intends to file the certificate at the City Clerk's office, and then, as soon as possible, secure a new Business Certificate dba OccupyBoston, to hold and protect, in the name of OccupyBoston, and as consented to by OccupyBoston's General Assembly, on 11/3/11.

On 10/25/11, members of FAWG opened an account at Liberty Bay Credit Union, in the name of Occupy Boston Financial Accountability Working Group, with a total deposit of $15,819.44, which included $5 LBCU gave OB for opening the account. As of 11/10/11, FAWG is in the process of moving funds donated to the WePay General Fund (over $30,000) to LBCU Savings Account. We wil decide, the week of 11/13, whteher to move the WePay Legal Fund (over $11,000) to a second savings account at LBCU, or to a trust, administered by FAWG consulting tax counsel.
