Spending Policy
To preserve the integrity of the Chapter’s finances, the Chapter agrees to these
spending guidelines:
1.) The Chapter funds all activity through a yearly budget.
2.) Revenues are generated by chapter activities such as yearly dues and through
hosting the Spring Garden Fair.
3.) All funding requests from membership will be submitted to the Budget
Committee and then included in the yearly budget. After the budget is approved,
any request for additional funds from the community or for special projects will be
submitted to the Executive Board for its approval. If the Executive Board approves,
the request will be presented to the membership for ratification.
4.) Chapter funds will be used primarily in support of the goals of our mission
statement for Clackamas County. However, certain funds may be used by
consensus of the membership through referendum ballot for specific projects that
may be outside the County.
5.) The Chapter operates under a zero budget policy.
Contingency Fund
The contingency fund is allocated for use during the year to deal with unexpected
operating situations that cannot be specifically identified at the time our budget is
being prepared.
Authority for use of up to $250.00 of this fund is delegated to the chapter President in
consultation with the Vice-President and Treasurer without prior consultation with
the Executive Committee (Board). The use of these reserves will be reported to the
Executive Committee (Board) and Chapter Members at their respective next scheduled
meeting. The president will also provide an explanation and analysis regarding the
expenditure, and if appropriate, plans for rectifying future budgeting shortfalls. In the
event the funds needed are in the excess of $250.00 the Chapter President must consult
and receive approval from the Executive Committee (Board) prior to releasing funds.
revised & approved by the Board 12/5//2013
Voucher Procedure
We have established a voucher system to provide a consistent documentary record
for each expenditure of the Chapter. Authorization to spend money comes from
one of two sources:
1.The annually approved budget, or
2.Members vote for non-budgeted items.
No funds will be dispersed without an approved voucher. The individual who has
spent or will be spending money on behalf of the Chapter prepares a voucher. The
chair whose budget covers the specific expenditures then signs the voucher. The
prepared vouchers is presented for payment to the Treasurer or to the President
in the Treasurers’ absence. If the budgeted expenditure falls under a category that
has no chairperson, the voucher is presented directly to the Treasurer for payment.
The Treasurer will then note on the voucher where in the budget the item will be
allocated.
When money is requested for any non-budgeted expense, the member making
the request will follow the process outlined in the By-Laws, Article VII, Section 3,
and present the request to the Executive Board for approval. When the Treasurer
writes a check for cash to provide a change drawer for fund-raising functions, the
transaction needs to be noted with a voucher and signed by the President or an
Executive Board member.
When the Treasurer is reimbursed for expenditures while pursuing Chapter
business, this voucher needs to be signed by the President or an Executive Board
member.
Budget Procedure
Each committee Chair will receive a budget request form from the Budget
Committee in September. The committees will not automatically have renewed
budgets each year. Each committee will start the year with a zero budget.
The executive board has the authority to approve non-budgeted expenses up to a
maximum of $200 without the vote of membership.
Soil Test Guidelines
There are basic minimum requirements to run a Soil Testing Clinic. These
requirements are technical in nature and govern location, duration, equipment
and personnel. If a business desires to conduct a soil testing clinic, a written
request must be submitted to the Executive Board no later than 60 days before
the requested event. For a full description of the guidelines, please contact the Soil
Test Chair.
Policy Regarding Remembrances of Chapter Members Who Pass Away
When the death of a Clackamas County Master Gardener occurs, the Executive
Board will authorize a donation of $50 to be made in Remembrance of the
individual to a charity or organization of the family’s choosing. In the event no
charity or organization is specified, the donation in remembrance of the individual
will be made to the Sara Hite Memorial Rose Garden at the Milwaukie Center.
(approved by chapter vote Sept 9, 2013)
The donation will be made on behalf of the members of the Clackamas County
Master Gardeners, and will be in effect for all paid members who pass away. The
Sunshine Committee will be responsible for seeing that the donation is sent to the
proper charity or organization. A card to the family will be sent acknowledging the
donation in remembrance.
Mini-College Reimbursement Guidelines
All officers of the Chapter (President, Vice President(s), Treasurer(s) and
Secretary) may be awarded $50 each toward their mini-college expenses to
encourage attendance. The Chapter benefits from these individuals attending in
the following ways:
•Attend leadership training to assist in the management of their office.
•Network and make contacts with other officers throughout the state.
The OMGA representative may also have all Mini College expenses paid, including
all classes, meals, and lodging, up to the cost of on campus cost, associated with
14
15
2015 CCMG Handbook
Mini-College. In addition, up to $25 may be paid toward transportation. Although
all positions are voluntary, the OMGA representative should not bear the financial
obligation of attending one of the most important OMGA functions of the year. This
is under the assumption the OMGA representative receives no other funds from any
other source to attend Mini-College.

Each piece of equipment will have a Primary Operator and a Back-up operator.
The President shall designate these operators each year and share such information
with the membership in January. Designated operators are the only individuals
authorized to use the equipment. The Primary Operator is responsible for learning
how to set up, use, and maintain the equipment. With new purchases, the Primary

Chapter members who need to use the chapter equipment for chapter program or
event should contact the Primary Operator directly. In the event neither operator
is available to operate said equipment, operators will recommend to the President
whether someone else should be trained to meet the need of this event or program
on a one-time basis. Upon an affirmative decision, a designated member will be
trained by an operator.
The equipment will be stored in climate conditions suitable for its type. Owner’s
Manual and other instructions, warranty, maintenance records will be kept with
the equipment. It is customary for the designed operators to store the equipment
in a safe location in their homes, provided such arrangement is approved by

as tools for education, as benefits to the environment, and as a means to
beautify the community. The 2015 applications are now ready and are

you to seek opportunities for our Grants Committee to fund programs!
