The committee reviewed with President-elect Ray Lansford a preliminary agenda for the governors-elect conference. The committee recommends that the registration fee for the Kiwanis International Convention in Phoenix be $70.00 for men and $25.00 for women. The committee discussed shortening the program Monday morning by requesting that the award presentations be made at a luncheon, with the cost of the luncheon being paid for by Kiwanis International.
The committee requests that the Finance Committee establish an item of this amount to cover the costs of the lunch. It was the consensus of the committee that this subject had not been addressed since the introduction of Builders Clubs. The committee recommends that the participation rules and interclub rules be revised to include Builders Clubs in the same category as Key Club and Circle K clubs.

It is expected that there will be a surplus sufficient to eliminate the deficit at the end of the administrative year 1982-83. A review of the August financial statements indicates that the final results for the year should be well within the budget as originally set and will in fact produce a larger surplus than. The Committee reviewed the current status of the Capital Improvement Fund and approved a request from staff to reallocate some funds for the purchase of office equipment.
After a thorough review of the presentation of all alternatives, it is the opinion of the Committee that the purchase of a new computer system is in the best interest of Kiwanis and will remedy many. computer errors that occur now. It was determined that some of the current problems can be traced back to some of the limitations and restrictions with our existing equipment. The committee recommends the purchase of the NIXDORF 8890 Computer System, Model 50 and the authorization of an expenditure. to exceed from the Capital Improvement Fund for such purchase.
To achieve efficiency in operating the new equipment, certain software packages that were readily available on the market were purchased. The committee recommends the extension of the relocation policy to Nick Geannopulos for a period ending September 30, 1984. Currently, our procedures do not do that. allow signature on an invoice, as required for the operation of the Zurich office.
4- 7. Monthly Financial Information
The committee held a discussion on the relationship between the Life Member Status fee of $150 and the annual dues of $15. The committee recommends that Article IL, Section 5, of the Bylaws of Kiwanis International be amended to change the $150. life membership status fee at a fee of fifteen times the annual membership dues and refers this.to Program Services to prepare the amendment to the bylaws. The committee will continue to work with staff to arrive at an appropriate five-year plan.
The information contained in the preliminary five-year plan is not verifiable and should not be used for any purpose by the Board members. It should also be noted that this budget does not include expenditures currently in the Kiwanis International Extension Department's International Operating Budget as noted at the bottom of the exhibit. The Committee recommends approval of the preliminary European Operations budget subject to final approval by the Committee.
The committee reviewed budget adjustments necessitated by various programs and decisions made since the budget was originally approved at the Vienna Board meeting. In addition, the committee reviewed and studied the subsidy for sponsored youth, the definition of extension expenses, guidelines for presidential gifts, the purchase of comprehensive medical insurance coverage for the membership and the use of fiscal agents, and retained all of the items mentioned for further study and/or further research. Note: These expenses do not include certain indirect costs (ie board travel to European congresses, ~residential visits in Europe, President-elect attendance at the KI-E board meeting in February in a similar manner) nor do they include any overhead expenses for International Headquarters.
