THE BUDGET PLANNING GUIDANCE
Budget Planning Assumptions
•A COVID-19 vaccine will be approved for distribution by Jan/Feb 2021.
•Social distancing, wearing masks, and hand washing must remain in place until the vaccine is distributed.
•Soulard public events (i.e., Oktoberfest, Holiday Parlour Tour, Mardi Gras) will not be conducted until the vaccine is distributed. In the case of annual public events for which Soulard is famous, the SRG should still conduct an information campaign to remind our traditional participants that we will resume these events when it is safe to do so. Imagine goals and objectives that the committee and SRG can achieve despite social distancing (i.e., virtual) to help and support our neighborhood.
•Despite health and safety restrictions, the SRG can help our neighborhood through this challenging period.
•Information technology (IT) capabilities have increased importance during this crisis. Committees should consider adding a budget line for a laptop or iPad to enable e-commerce.**
•The SRG will be able to hold our next SRG General Meeting and Annual Election (April 2021).
•We have the flexibility to modify these assumptions as the situation evolves.
** Adjusted approach for iPads and Square accounts
