New Unit (Split Units) - Procedural Questions
Posted: Thu Nov 17, 2011 11:04 am
Our stake has been approved to split two of our Wards into three Wards. The split will occur in a few weeks, and I'm working through some of the procedural issues surrounding the split. Your help is appreciated.
1 - For the newly created Ward, I assume that all callings will need to be filled according to the normal procedure, namely the Bishop will oversee the calling and sustaining of all Ward callings, and the Stake will oversee the calling and sustaining of all Stake callings, correct? In other words, callings simply aren't "transferred" with the person as they move into the new Ward.
2 - How do we move members? I assume that the existing Wards will simply push out the members who are no longer in their boundaries through MLS?
3 - Budget. Will SLC provide a budget for the new unit for the balance of the year? Or should I have each of the existing units write a check to the new unit to cover until Q1 disbursements? Is it proper to assume that the new unit will receive a Q1 disbursement as a normal unit would?
4 - Any pitfalls any of you experienced during this process that I should be looking out for?
I appreciate any guidance from those who have been down this road before.
