What about the BC Experience? • An example of a PC that successfully made major funding changes. (Info provided by BCPC President Tom Holland.) • Fees started in the early 1990s at $10 per cadet. • Over the years the Assessment fee increased: $20-$25-$35. • Big increase to $75.00 in 2003, for support of SSC’s and to grow flying/optional training programs – then to $100.00 in 2008. • BCPC expects to maintain the $100.00 assessment fee for a few more years, as the budget forecast does not reflect any major increase in specific areas. • 46 of 57 Squadrons in BC charge a fee to the parents. A number also add a local “administration fee” ranging from $25 - $150 per cadet; making total costs passed to parents $125 - $250 / year.

Revised Governance Structural Proposal • It is duly moved and seconded THAT the Revised Governance Structure Proposal, approved by the Board of Governors on February 18, 2010 be adopted. The Revised Governance Structure is to be effective from the Annual General Meeting on Sunday, October 31, 2010 subject to ratification of appropriate Bylaw amendments at the AGM. • The current Bylaw will be revised to the extent required, circulated to Air Cadet League National for approval, and adopted by the Board of Governors at its July 2010 meeting. The new Bylaw will be circulated in advance and presented to the Annual General Meeting for ratification, prior to the election of Officers and Governors for the 2010-2011 term.
OPC Funding Model Proposal • It is duly moved and seconded THAT the Annual OPC Raffle Lottery will proceed on the “$50 Book” model outlined in the OPC Funding Model Proposal. The “$50 Book” model changes the price of each Lottery ticket to $5 each, with 10 tickets in each Book, as opposed to the current 12 tickets per book, at 2 for $5. The number of “Mandatory” Books would remain the same. There would be a corresponding 65% increase in the value of prizes and a 733% increase in the funds returned to Squadrons for selling their Mandatory Books. The compairson in number will be available on-screen at the meeting.
OPC Funding Model Proposal • It is duly moved and seconded THAT the “Must Do” level of financial commitment, as outlined in the Revised Funding Proposal, be adopted. Implementation of all items will result in a 2010-2011 League Assessment of $60.00 per Cadet.
OPC Funding Model Proposal • It is duly moved and seconded THAT “Should Do” level of financial commitment, as outlined in the Revised Funding Proposal, be adopted. • The Chair will call for a vote on each of the three items individually. Approval of each item would increase the amount of the League Assessment by the Per Cadet Cost shown in the table. • Approval of all three items would result in a total League Assessment of $74.00 per Cadet.
OPC Funding Model Proposal • It is duly moved and seconded THAT “Could Do” level of financial commitment, as outlined in the Revised Funding Proposal, be adopted. The Chair will call for a vote on each of three items individually. Approval of each item would increase the amount of League Assessment by the Per Cadet Cost shown in the table. • Approval of all three items would result in a total League Assessment of $74.00 per Cadet.
OPC Funding Model Proposal • It is duly moved and seconded THAT Squadrons be authorized to recover their operating costs, including all or part of the League Assessment Fee, through a fee charged to Cadet families for participation in the Squadron program. Such authority is granted on the condition that no child may be denied access to the Air Cadet Program due to a genuine inability of their family to pay any fee charged by the Squadron. The decision of whether or not to charge a fee to Cadet families is at the option of each individual Sponsoring Committee. As each Squadron is a community-based organization, the OPC does not believe it is entitled to regulate the fee charged. The OPC only plans to require that SSCs accurately present the amount of the Assessment levied to support the Provincial and National Levels of the League.
