NRM has provided it's 3rd Quarter financial statement showing YTD expenses.
The following applies to the forums:
Donations: $663
Bank Fees: $ 18.94
Contract Labor:$283.41
Web&Internet: $680.47
TotalExpense: $982.82
Balance: ($319.82)
Contract Labor expense accounts for paid work by NRM staff to administer the site during the first quarter of the year. This work is now performed by a volunteer so should not be considered an on-going expense.
During the board meeting, held on Monday 10/15/12, the 2013 calendar year budget was proposed and approved at $1500. This should be adequate to maintain the site license and hosting expenses, emergency maintenance fees in the event of further site hacking and a small balance for incidental expenses that may arise.
