9. Lake Deaton Finance Management
Lake Deaton will be given financial goals and objectives that adhere to those established by SALT for Summerhill and NCUMC

10. Strategic Guideline
Loans should not exceed 60% of total property value:
Currently $11.3 million with loan balance of $5.4 million = 48% of property value
Estimated value of Lake Deaton facilities: $5.5 million if constructed
Estimated LD loan $4.75M (Aug 2019); Total estimated NCUMC property value: $16.3 million with $7.75 million in loans = 47.5% of property value

11. Strategic Guideline Maximum Debt not over 2.5 x Annual Giving
Estimated final loan in August 2019 for Lake Deaton $4.75 million
Estimated loan balance for Summerhill in August 2019 $3.0 million
Estimated annual giving in August 2019 for Lake Deaton = $1.4 million*; Summerhill = $3.8 million
Total giving 2019 = $5.2 million x 2.5 = $13 million max debt ceiling on loans of $7.75 million
*includes annual capital campaign funds

12. Evaluating the Risk
Since 2004 NCUMC has met all of its financial obligations,
With the construction of the CLC in 2013, it was determined that a strategic financial approach for NCUMC was needed. Strategic objectives have been implemented to build and maintain a financially healthy church.
NCUMC has met of exceeded target objectives for seven of the ten financial goals and is making steady progress in the other three.

13. Evaluating the Risk
Lake Deaton has more than doubled attendance in the past year to 360 per week. They are expecting to add another Sunday service in 2017 and move attendance to the level.
With completion of a Lake Deaton facility and the continued growth south of 466A, they anticipate attendance in 2018 of 750 to 1000 per week.
Summerhill’s debt should be eliminated by 2025 or before.

14. Evaluating the Risk
The construction and new loan for a Lake Deaton facility is within the strategic financial and growth objectives of NCUMC.
Lake Deaton has established a five year budget plan for income and expenses that is realistic and obtainable to sustain a new facility and grow the church.
Within two years of construction completion at Lake Deaton, they will establish a debt elimination plan to pay off their loan within 10 years.

15. Evaluating the Risk
The senior loan officer at the Florida Methodist Foundation, after reviewing our financials, the Lake Deaton five year budget plan (2017 – 2021), and our current Summerhill loan status; supports a loan for the Lake Deaton construction up to $5 million.

16. Final Analysis
Borrowing a maximum of $5 million for construction of a new NCUMC facility at Lake Deaton, should not have a negative impact on the current healthy financial status of NCUMC.
