| = Current Budget = * 134 Members * 160 Pledges * $5/month/pledge * Income * pledges: $800 * members: $680 * [[HcoopBudget|Current Monthly Expenses]] * $969.85 * ''''Deficit: $169.85'''' ($1.06/pledge, $1.26/member) * 34 additional pledges needed to break even (60 additional members without pledges) == Questions == What is our accumulated peer1 deficit? = Migration Expenses = * Server Hardware: $3500 * New Colocation: ~$600/month * 2 * Actual cost pending * We would be carrying this in addition to peer1 for up to 60 days == Migration Cost Per Member == * 2 months at both colos * Pledges: $29.38 * Members: $35.07 * 1 month at both colos * Pledges: $25.64 * Members: $30.60 = Dues Restructuring = == Overview == * Dues pegged to {{{ceiling(recurring expenses / pledges)}}} * The board would be authorized to add $0-$3 per share for projected non-recurring costs and debts * Dues would be adjusted quarterly based on new costs and member counts * Plan would be enacted for November billing cycle == Short Term Increase == All numbers involving new setup are pending known colocation cost. Assuming 160 pledges * Adjusted to November Real Cost = ~$1561.60 * Pending known value for new colocation * Per pledge: $9.76 ($10) * Surplus: ~$38.40 (too insignificant to count) * No debt repayment / non-recurring costs adjustment === End Peer1 Dec 1 === * December real cost:$711.60 * Surplus: ~$888.40 * Per Pledge: $5.55 * Per Member: $6.63 * Remaining migration debt Feb 1: $2323.20 == Dues adjusted Feb 1 == * Adjusted to February real costs: $711.60 * Per pledge: $4.45 ($5) * Per member: $5.31 ($6) * Additional debt-repayment surcharge: $2 * Surplus (@ $7/share) * With pledges: $408.40 * Without pledges: $226.40 * Remaining migration debt May 1: $1644.00 * Not terrible; completely paid off by the end of 2010 = Numbers Look Better With New Members = Each new member joining before quarterly adjustment is paying 100% toward migration debt / expansion funding. New members therefore essentially pay for the capacity expansion required to handle them. = Long Term Reduction = With 300 members: * Projected real costs: $711.60 * Per member: $2.37 (3) * Expansion fund: $1 * Total cost: $4 * Monthly surplus: $488.40 This is feasible within a year given our new hardware. = Related Ideas = == Join National Cooperatives Bank == A while ago we looked at leaving Wells Fargo and joining the [[http://ncb.coop|NCB]], but the discussion died with no resolution. Do we qualify to have a business account with NCB? If we do we might qualify for an interest bearing checking account. == Moving Member Deposits to an Interest Bearing Account == We could open an account for storing member deposits into a savings or similar type of account and perhaps make a small amount of interest. Member deposits tend to not be touched often (if needed only the lower 2/3 of the balance could be stored in the interest bearing account), and so would be ideal for storing this way. What are the rules for HCoop as a non-profit corporation with regard to interest? Do we have to disburse gained interest to member balances, or could it instead go into a general use fund? |
