Background

In January 2021, the Steering Committee contracted with Triangle Advisers for a combination of social media and candidate support. The contract is for $12,000 over six months. While past practice has meant a certain amount of fluidity with regard to Line 133 "Salary costs," it would not be apparent to anyone unfamiliar with this practice. Therefore, in order to provide greater clarity, $12,000 has been moved out of Line 133 and into two separate lines of $6,000 each representing the types of work envisioned by this contract. Note, the Daous have agreed to a one month delay on the commencement of paid work while this proposal is conducted.

Proposal

Add $6000 to line 55, renamed "Candidate Support - Independent Contractor," bringing the total to $6,000.

Add $6000 to line 64, renamed "Social Media - Independent Contractor," bringing the total to $6,000.

Reduce by $12,000 line 133, "Salary costs left blank above."

Reduce line 134 by $1440. This is equivalent to the 12% of Payroll taxes on the $12,000 that is no longer in the Salary line.

Add $1440 to line 130, "miscellaneous," bringing the total to $1940 to ensure the same total expenditures with the previously passed budget. This is equivalent to the 12% of Payroll taxes on the $12,000 that is no longer in the Salary line (see above).
