Instructions for Circuit Accounting (S-331) 6/13
8. Resolutions: Other than the normal oper-
ating expenditures outlined above, any deci-
sions with regard to funds that the circuit has
on hand in its account should be put in writ-
ing as resolutions adopted by the elders of the
circuit. These resolutions should be for exact
amounts and should be presented for approval
each time circuit funds are to be dispensed. It
would be inappropriate to pass a resolution to do-
nate an unspecified amount of leftover funds to
the worldwide work, Kingdom Hall construction
worldwide, or an Assembly Hall after the assem-
bly expenses have been paid. It would likewise
not be appropriate to make a standing resolution
authorizing that a fixed amount be donated to
the worldwide work, Kingdom Hall construction
worldwide, or an Assembly Hall. Circuit funds
should not be used to subsidize housing for spe-
cial pioneers or to make donations to Regional
Building Committees. Money gifts to individuals
should not be made from circuit funds. Neither
should expenses for personal vehicles, life insur-
ance premiums, or personal travel be considered.
