• FY25 budge has increased a little due to new members

• About 85% of the way to getting the annual budget in, some funds coming in still need to be accounted for

• Took about $200K of annual income to a savings account, can pull from it if needed

• Total expenses currently exceed annual income, when carry over is a applied, this will be covered with about $90K wiggle room

• Reserve funds are funds that have been in the checking account, we’ll be using about half of the carry over to cover the budget

• Downtrend on total annual income, total annual expenses are significantly going up due to increase in AWS costs as well as the cost of professional positions

• FY25 projected costs for AWS doesn’t include anticipated decrease with roll out of Eureka because that won’t happen until the end of the FY; multi-dev environments have increased costs, now we’re trying to capture actual expenses as apposed to projected

• Squeeze on budget from AWS needs to be absorbed but not a concern long term; decrease in dues is more concerning for longer term and should be addressed

• Developer Advocate role, have discussed keeping this role, TC is planning a retro on the position but haven’t yet due to spending time discussing Eureka

• Would be good to look at the Developer Advocate’s role and how this role serves developers, cross council discussion would be necessary to define this

• Everyone present agrees to this budget and FY25 budget is approved
