According to the latest budget documents obtained by MGx, SCFS operated at a deficit of -$225,262 during fiscal year 2012-2013, worse than -$172,801 reported last June. The difference of $52,461 can be traced to a revenue line “Food Other Donations” under a column entitled “Actuals to Date” that was present when the budget was adopted but is now missing. This latest budget still reflects a projected deficit of -$177,586 for the 2013/14 fiscal year for a combined two year deficit of -$402,848 for the Food Bank.
ORCCA – SCFS Budget
Other anomalies in the SCFS budget include an increase in salaries while simultaneously showing a decrease in fringe benefits.
The agency anticipates a combined deficit across all programs of -$203,940 for the current 2013/14 fiscal year. These documents also reflect deficits in administration totaling -$88,649 and -$10,865 in the SnackPak program for the 2012/13. Auditors are reviewing the accounting now and absent any cogent explanation from the board of directors to explain how the agency will prevail with such huge deficits, let’s hope the auditors offer an explanation.
Sorry, you won’t hear from the ORCCA board. Their favorite position is with their head in the sand. When they do raise their heads, Lehman let’s them know how wonderful everything is and they can go back to hiding their heads. Mike will respond for them.
They couldn’t be happier. Just today, the world provided Lehman cover as promised. Everything is fine. Deborah’s written 15 grants in a month and a half. What a crock! Amanda in her finest hour didn’t write that many. But Deborah, with no grant writing experience is impressive.
And Lehman’s got a plan! He’s going to “use money from other programs, such as Park West Apartments, corporate funds, or its campus account as a last resort.” Let’s see, rumor has it – not much left in corporate funds and the corporate account pays for the campus. Planning on defaulting?
Do we have the names of the board members, and their associations which qualify THEM to be on the board of ORCCA?
I bet they will step forward and intro themselves, right? They must be proud as punch of themselves, come tell us about your decision making abilities.
Where are all you screaming banshees who railed in the comments to The World regarding management of ORCCA? Cat got your tongue? Where are all you who demanded changes in ORCCA? Well you got him, how do you like him? Have some balls and come here and tell us who exactly put you up to it? SOMEONE started this fiasco, and they need to be held accountable. This program feeds poor people? You put Lehman in charge, and Lehman, just as he shows on the Airport Board has no better business sense than Barton or Benetti(my opinion only of course boys) has, so why is he there? What about Lehman did ANY of you board members think was a positive for ORCCA? You can see the horrible debt that rubbish airport rusting into the sand at the One daily trip in , and out which the public can’t afford, only the Bandon golfers, but that’s another can of worms Lehman is involved in. These cronies have run this county and all of us living here into the proverbial sand pile. And now another snake oil salesman is coming to build 700 houses for the poor? Come on Coos County, educate yourselves and clean house. SCDC and the Chamber of Consorts is NOT the working man’s friend. How many decades you going to allow them to screw us? Go to their new $1.5 million dollar Visitor’s Center and ask them sometime? They love their new offices payed for and maintained by We The People , they be happy as clams to talk to you, just try.
Who was it, said: “Stupid is as Stupid does”
It will be interesting to see if just maybe the ORCCA board will actually hold Lehman accountable and fire him. But after all the board hired Lehman as the face of ORCCA they were fully aware that he had no experience running a non profit, no grant management experience. So did they really expect Lehman to know anything about a budget? How about the board demanding to know why Lehman approved yet another raise for Laura Schmidt at South Coast Food Share within a couple of months of each other and naming her the operations manager which is the director position and the program is operating in the negative.
