Comments

Capote Manuel - Score: 87.000

Varied symphonic product.

Very good community and educational components.

Concern over large increase in Personnel/administrative costs from this fiscal year to next fiscal year (from $532,360 to $625,000) ?

Gwinn Elizabeth - Score: 86.000

Strong partnerships

Orchestra is a strong artistic resource for Marion County

500,000 total individuals benefitting seems very high--explain how you calculated this figure

The focus on young-adult audiences is very good for the future of the Orchestra

Budgets for current and next fiscal years are out of whack--budgeted expenses are way over budgeted revenue and must be a mistake

Update accessibility evaluation for new performance hall

Difficult to open mp3 files on my macbook

 

Lautar Rebecca - Score: 90.000

I have a question about the operation budget summary, is it correct on line 1 that administrative personnel is 47 K last year but over 500 K for the current fiscal year? The budget item details show only one new position being added, and the additional budget information narrative does not explain it.

 

I will adjust my score in management to 20 if that is indeed a typo.

Quinlan Laura - Score: 87.000

why did admin personnel jump from 47K to 532K? last year to this year - budget shows $500K+ loss this year and next ..

items are not supported by breakdown below

 

congrats on new space

Schillhammer David - Score: 90.000

Budget from Last Completed Fiscal Year doubled to current and more than doubled to next fiscal year.  Expenses are twice the income!  There is no explanation for this that I can find.

 

Congratulations on your new facility - is that where some of the expenses are?  I don't see specific expenses for the facility.

 

I admire your Associate Board and High School Liason groups - hope they are successful.

Stringer Amanda - Score: 84.000

Administrative jump from $50K to $532K in one year.  WHY?

Why no space rental charges?
