2022 Atlanta Board of Trustees Meeting

WHAT IS OMA’S INVESTMENT SPENDING DISTRIBUTION POLICY? (THIS TOPIC IS TO BE DISCUSSED ONLY IF ASKED) Funds more than the reserve fund balance (the “investment fund”) shall annually distribute an amount equal to 4 % of the investment fund’s balance as of December 31 each year. The spending rate will be reviewed annually considering evolving trends with respect to investment returns, OMA needs, and the rate of inflation. Adjustments will be made when appropriate. The resulting amount, “distribution from investment fund” shall be available for accomplishing various projects and tasks as the Board designates from year to year. Distributions from the Investment Fund will be maintained as a clearly specified revenue line item on the profit and loss statement. Any portion of the annual distributable funds not distributed in any given year will be retained in The Investment Fund for expenditures in future years, upon recommendation of the Board of Trustees.
