Daily Proceedings Thursday, May 22, 2025 Syracuse, NY Executive Assistant to the Bishop, Rev. Bill Gottschalk-Fielding, opened the gathering with words of welcome and introduction. Ms Jessica White, Conference Lay Leader, acknowledged the land on which annual conference was held as traditional lands of the Onondaga Nation. The video that was shared highlighting a few of the ministries of United Methodists of Upper New York and the theme of the 2025 annual conference - Believe … and see the glory God – can be viewed at this link. The Opening Worship service was filled with praise, singing, prayer, Holy Communion, and an inspirational message from Bishop Héctor A. Burgos Núñez that focused on John 11:1-45 and Philippians 4:13. The bishop declared that we are standing before the tombs of our time and proclaimed God’s calling to step forward in faith, even when the path is uncertain. “Embrace God’s boundless love,” he encouraged. “Resurrection and new life is possible. Resurrection is happening. Resurrection is ours in Jesus Christ. It’s time that we believe it, live it, claim it, and share it with as many people as possible.” Click here to watch the recording from Opening Worship. Click here to read Bishop Héctor›s opening message transcript. -=-=-=-=The Clergy and Laity Sessions were held simultaneously beginning at 1pm, after a lunch break.

Ann Kemper, chair of the Board of Ordained Ministry, offered a devotional based on Romans 8:28 reminding us that our call includes helping others hear their call into ministry. A collection was made in support of the clergy care fund. After paragraphs 602-605.7 were reviewed, permission to grant lay members from the Board of Ordained Ministry to have vote, to grant Mary Bradley voice but no vote, and that audio/visual technicians be in the room with neither voice nor vote was sought as part of the organizational motion which carried unanimously.

The Clergy Session ended with an overview presentation by Peter Hang of Wespath about COMPASS, the new clergy retirement program. Following a table blessing, all took a lunch break. Thursday May 22, 2025 Afternoon Gathering Click here to watch the Open Doors New Faith Community video that was shared. Bishop Burgos Núñez called the 16th Session of the Upper New York Annual Conference to order at 3:09 pm. He welcomed all clergy and returning lay members and offered a special welcome to those attending for the first time with recognition by asking them to raise their hands. Bishop introduced those at the table with him, Ms Jessica White, Conference Lay Leader, and Rev. Carolyn Stow, Conference Secretary, and explained that from time to time, Mr. Peter Abdella, Conference Chancellor, will join the table when his expertise is needed. Bishop Burgos Núñez explained, his primary role as presider is to guide discussion and address questions and that he will rely on conference leaders and staff, all with the intention of supporting the body in completing the work to be carried out. Bishop shared information about the rules for speaking from the floor and how he
85
strives to be inclusive and hear different voices. He reviewed how to get recognized, the time limits for speeches and the limitations of three (3) for and three (3) against. Bishop requested, should a question of law be intended, please share that intent with the chair for guidance on timing on the agenda. It would not be the bishop’s job to fix any erroneous wording, but guidance about timing might eliminate any unnecessary dely. Bishop identified the Conference Bar as the numbered tables and the stage in the Exhibit Hall. Ms. Jessica White spoke about and read from the Guidelines for Respectful and Thoughtful Dialogue found on page 6 of the Pre-Conference Workbook. Rev. Dr. Robin Blair, Chair of the Conference Commission on the Status and Role of Women [COSROW], and Rev. Jee Hae Song, member of Conference Commission on Religion and Race [CCORR], summarized the Monitoring Statement from page 8 of Pre-Conference Workbook and gave orientation on monitoring procedure for conference sessions. -=-=-=-=Rev. Carolyn Stow, Conference Secretary, explained that compliance with conference rules calls for the first action of the body is to elect Equalization Members at large and serving by virtue of office. Rev. Stow directed everyone to the conference app/website to view the most updated slate of Equalization Members (A-5, revision added 4/22). Mr. Tim Barnes raised a Point of Information. Given that he is an ordained elder in the Global United Methodist Church and that he resigned from the delegation of the Northeast Jurisdiction, is Dan Fuller eligible to serve as a lay Equalization Member to this United Methodist Annual Conference session? Rev. Stow explained that name was included on that slate due to clerical error and should not have been included. With that clerical edit, the slate of Equalization Members was approved. -=-=-=-=Rev. Stow highlighted items 6-7 of the Organizational Motion as found on pages 9-10 of Pre-Conference Workbook with attention called to the chart on page 7 for clarification. Rev. Stow moved for the adoption of the Organizational Motion as presented in the Pre-Conference Workbook, which was approved. -=-=-=-=Rev. Stow called the body’s attention to the Consent Calendar on page 17 of the Pre-Conference Workbook and pointed out clerical errors to be corrected by adding item A3 the Camp and Retreat Ministries Report, item A6 the Young Adult Council report, and item A11 the Addendum to Trustees report, all from the updates page on the conference website. Additionally, add the report only, not the recommendations, from the Board of Pensions and Health Benefits from the Pre-Conference Workbook on pages 76-81. Rev. Stow further explained that items removed from the Consent Calendar by motion made, seconded and approved, will go to end of business when the report can be read, with no conversation. Pastor Ian Urriola’s motion to suspend the rules to put all of the resolutions and petitions from the Committee of Resolutions & Petitions on pages 100-126 onto the Consent Calendar did not carry. Ms. Brooke Conklin moved to remove page 118 from Consent Calendar, which the bishop declared out of order because resolutions and petitions were not added to the Consent Calendar. Rev. Melissa McCarthy raised a Point of Order. She brought a question to the floor last year about spending needs of Camp & Retreat Ministries and does not see that question addressed. After consulting with the CF&A Chair, Bishop advised the request be re-raised during the budget discussion later in the agenda. With no additional motions or comments, the body voted, and the Consent Calendar, as edited, was adopted.
86
-=-=-=-=-=Rev. Bill Gottschalk-Fielding called the body’s attention to the proposed agenda on the app/website addendum page, item A-11 and made a motion to adopt it. With no discussion, the body voted, and the agenda was adopted. Click here to watch the Fresh Start’s Keeping the Community Warm ministry video that was shown. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Pastor Ian Urriola, Chair of the Nominations Team presented their report on pages 54-75 of the Pre-Conference Workbook by directing everyone to the revised report on the app/website updates page, item A-4. Due to NYS law, election of Annual Conference Trustees must occur on paper ballot while the rest of the report can be acted on by regular conference procedures. Pastor Urriola asked that editorial corrections be emailed to the chair of the nominations team rather than coming from the floor. He moved the adoption of the revised conference Nominations and Leadership Development Report except for those to the Board of Trustees, which was approved. Paper ballots were distributed, the vote called, and ballots collected for electing nominees to the Board of Trustees. Before the vote was called, Mr. Mike Beardsley raised a question about the number of persons to vote for, which Pastor Urriola explained was up to four persons. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=Rev. Jeff Childs, chair of the Conference Global Ministries team, presented the 2025 Conference Advance Specials, as listed on page 101 of the Pre-Conference Workbook, which the body approved. Rev. Charles Mulemena, missionary with the General Board of Global Ministries, ordained elder of the Zambia Annual Conference and assigned to Belize, shared about his work. Ecumenical partner Rashida Tyler, Deputy Executive Director of the New York State Council of Churches, spoke about the work of that organization. -=-=-=-=-=Rev. Pamela Klotzbach called attention to the report of the Trustees as found beginning on page 158 of the Pre-Conference Workbook. Rev. Dr. Sherri Rood, on behalf of the Cabinet, presented the resolutions for church closures that can be found beginning on page 91 of the Pre-Conference Workbook and in the addendums shared on the conference website. Rev. Dr. Rood invited those whose lives has been touched by one of these congregations, including through clergy service, to stand as witness and testimony as the name of each church was read. Those churches were: Albion United Methodist Church Arkport United Methodist Church Benton United Methodist Church Caton United Methodist Church Conawango Valley United Methodist Church Fairfield United Methodist Church Flemingville United Methodist Church Royalton United Methodist Church Delevan United Methodist Church Westover United Methodist Church Buffalo: Cleveland Hill United Methodist Church Albany: Trinity United Methodist Church
87
Dryden United Methodist Church North Volney United Methodist Church Schuyler Lake United Methodist Church The resolutions affirming these church closures were adopted. -=-=-=-=-=The Conference Council on Youth Ministries shared a video about the Mission of Peace and presented the bishop with a Youth Service Fund blanket. Following a table blessing, all took a dinner break. Thursday May 22, 2025 Evening Gathering Rev. Rich Weihing shared the purpose of the Board on Equitable Compensation and reviewed some of their report. Ms. Teddi Urriola presented the six recommendations from the board as found beginning on page 84 of the Pre-Conference Workbook: (1) For minimum base compensation to remain unchanged from 2024, (2) that the annual increment for 2026 remain unchanged at 1.5 percent of minimum, (3) that the Accountable Reimbursement Plan for full-time clergy be increased by $750, (4) that clergy with multiple church charges continue to receive an additional $500 for each additional church, (5) that no pastor’s salary can be decreased as a result of these policies as long as they retain their current appointment, and (6) that all churches are strongly encouraged to offer a salary increase of no less than 4 percent to their pastors in 2026. Rev. Rachel Stuart moved an amendment to the recommendation on page 84 of the Pre-Conference Workbook, to strike lines 42-44 and replace them with, “We recommend that the minimum base compensation for 2026 be increased by $1,000 at each level, going into effect January 1, 2026.” This would change the values in chart 1 on page 85 to: “$45,818, $44,303, $43,345, $42,787 and $41,273 respectively.” The increment recommendation percentage would remain but the values in chart 2 would change, based on the changes to chart 1, to read: “$687, $665, $650, $642, and $619, respectively” that carried without discussion from the floor. The six recommendations from the board, with the first two as amended, were approved. -=-=-=-=Ms. Karyn McCloskey reminded the body that the Board of Pension and Health Benefits report beginning on page 77 of the Pre-Conference Workbook is on the Consent Calendar so she did not review it. Ms McCloskey presented the two recommendations from the board as found on pages 82 and 83 of the Pre-Conference Workbook. The first recommendation allows clergy to claim up to 100 percent of their pension, severance, or disability income as a housing exclusion. The second recommends increasing the Pre-82 Past Service Annuity Rate by 2 percent for 2026 which would make it $726. Both recommendations were adopted with one. Mr. Peter Hang of Wespath offered a presentation on the new clergy pension and retirement plan, Compass, that was approved by 2024 General Conference, will go into effect on January 1, 2026, and does not affect retirees. This income-based plan, from contributions by employee and local church, is less generous, but necessary. Benefits from Pre-82 and CRSP will remain. Eligibility remains unchanged. There will be three different types of contributions to choose from. Hang encouraged those wondering which option to choose to engage with a personal financial planner or EY Financial Planning Services. Hang also shared the Compass web page address that can be accessed here. -=-=-=-=The Conference Council on Finance and Administration (CFA) Chair, Roger Cullen presented the proposed 2026 Ministry Share Budget, found on pages 87-90 of the Pre-Conference Workbook.

Rev. Melanie Simmons expressed interest in hearing an answer to the camping question raised earlier by Rev. Melissa McCarthy. Bishop invited Rev. McCarthy to the microphone who explained that the information sought was not provided and then moved that CFA provide a pre-conference 2026 budget with specific information included, that received a second. The bishop explained that the budget was properly before the body, therefore such a motion would be received after the budget work was completed. Ms. Karen Hartman raised a question about the large increase between 2025 and 2026 in line 25 - the cost of annual conference sessions. Conference Treasurer Mr. Bob Flask clarified that the proposed 2026 budget shows a decrease in that amount, which is possible because of anticipated registration income. The budget was adopted. -=-=-=-=Rev. Melissa McCarthy moved “that CFA provide a pre-conference 2026 report that gives justifications used for ongoing decrease in budgetary support for CRM excluding accounting for decreasing ministry shares from our local churches. It shall include the actual financial budget totals of our camp and retreat sites to accomplish their programming needs/goals and what the conference contributes and shall include the five-year historical percentage of conference support for the CRM sites compared to their total budgets.” The motion carried. Bishop shared that the Annual Conference has been working over past 6-7 months in a deep dive and is currently working with consultants to amplify wisdom gained in this process of attending to our camping ministries. Ms. Karyn McCloskey, on behalf of the Conference Leadership Team, presented the resolution “UNY Camp and Retreat Ministries Sunday” on page 102 of the Pre-Conference Workbook that “the First Sunday of May shall be Camp & Retreat Sunday in Upper New York for the purpose of increased awareness of the ministry and the collection of an offering in UNY local churches to be used to offer scholarships for participation in CRM programming,” and that, “the years when Native American Sunday takes place on the first Sunday of May, Camp & Retreat Sunday will be on the last Sunday of April,”. Rev. Doug Mackey raised a question about logistics that resulted in his motion to amend the resolution to add, after line 31, “Be it further resolved that the money collected through the special offering will be forwarded to the conference treasurer for management by our CRM team” was approved. Rev. Evelyn Woodring pointed out that there are already several Special Sundays during that time of year. Pastor Ian Urriola proposed an amendment to strike lines 29-34 and replace them with “Therefore be it resolved that the second Sunday in February shall be camp & retreat Sunday in UNY for the purpose of increased awareness of the ministry and the collection of an offering that shall be remitted to the already established advanced special,” that was approved. Rev. Robert Dean moved to amend the amendment that had just been adopted by changing the word “shall” to the word “may.” Pastor Joel Holcomb raised a point of order regarding how such an amendment to the amendment just adopted would effect the word “shall” in the original resolution. Bishop ruled that the amendment to the just approved amendment was in order. Ms. Heather Smith referred to the Book of Discipline that uses the word “shall” for the six Special Sundays. Bishop called Ms. Smith’s remarks out of order because discussion was not about a denominational offering. Pastor Ian Urriola asked about the merit of the reasoning behind the amendment to the amendment, because paragraph 265 of the Book of Discipline allows annual conferences to establish special Sundays with offerings.
89
Bishop explained that the language used is up to the body that will be living into what their adopted legislation calls for. One of the youth members to Annual Conference whose self-introduction was not audible on the microphone asked to call the question and Bishop explained we were not in a place to call the question because we had not exhausted all of the debate as required by our rules, and asked the body if they were ready to vote. Rev. Brett Johsnon spoke against this amendment to the amendment because if we are truly committed to children and youth who continue to benefit from camping experiences, we should not worry about what the Judicial Council might think about directing churches to participate in a special offering, because we shall care for our young ones. With no additional comments, the amendment to change the language of the recently adopted amendment did not carry. The resolution as amended twice was approved. -=-=-=-=Dr. Scott Johnson and Ms. Jessica White presented the resolution “Strategic Visioning and Planning Process for the Upper New York Conference of The United Methodist Church” found on pages 103-105 of the Pre-Conference Workbook, which sought to empower “the UNY Conference Leadership Team (CLT) to initiate and oversee a Strategic Visioning and Planning Process.” Rev. Bob Long sought clarification about where to find the resolution in the Pre-Conference Workbook. Ms. Judy Craigmile asked the motivation for developing such a plan - disaffiliations, a new bishop, the new denominational mission and vision, sharing a bishop again, or something else. Ms. Craigmile also asked about the costs involved. Dr. Johnson explained that all of those reasons Ms. Craigmile listed are all part of the reality that we are in - a time that calls for discerning new directions. Any costs associated should be covered with the budget that had just been passed. Ms. Craigmile asked a follow-up question about local congregation lay members (rather than those already involved in activities of the annual conference) inclusion in the process, who Dr. Johnson confirmed would be included. Mr. Tim Barnes asked about the transparency of the names of those who will be appointed as members of the task force. Dr. Johnson explained that the CLT had not yet chosen who will be appointed and once that decision is made, it will be shared through already established means of communication from the annual conference. Mr. Guy Michaels asked if this vision plan would be a vision for the Upper New York Annual Conference rather than the local churches. Dr. Johnson assured the body that this plan would not impact visions discerned by local churches for themselves. The resolution was approved. -=-=-=-=Following announcements shared by the conference secretary, at 8:41pm Bishop moved the body into recess until morning worship at 8:30 the following morning. Friday, May 23, 2025 Morning Gathering The second day of annual conference opened with gathering music, prayer, and praise.

The Rev. Dr. Kathleen Kind, Director of Connectional Ministries for the Susquehanna Annual Conference, presented a gift to the Upper New York Annual Conference, received by Rev. Dr. Aaron Bouwens, in celebration of our shared partnership and neighborly connection. Dr. Scott Johnson and Rev. Tanya Spencer presented the monitoring report. Ms. Carmen Vianese, co-chair of the Episcopacy Committee, thanked Bishop Héctor, thanked his family, gifted him a stole modeled after the stained-glass window at Geneseo United Methodist Church, and presented his awaited new crozier. In his episcopal address, Bishop Héctor gave thanks and praise for the privilege of getting to be collaborators with God. He named three principles that focus our connectional work: Celebrating what’s going well, recognizing where business as usual is no longer an option, and embracing necessary shifts to remain faithful witnesses of Christ’s love. “Friends, I’m excited about what God is doing not just in Upper New York, but in the whole United Methodist Church,” he said. “I’m all in, and I can’t wait to step into this vision with all of you.” Click here to watch the Episcopal Address video. Click here to watch “A new Vision for The United Methodist Church” from the Episcopal Address. During a time of recess a video was shared from Ms. Rebecca Wilson with Stakeholder Relations of Discipleship Ministries sharing about the resources available and as well as a video, available here, from the Preachers: Rest. Work. Play. about the first cohort retreat. Clergy and clergy spouses who have died since May of 2024 were honored and celebrated during a Memorial Service. Click here to watch the Memorial Service video. All took a lunch break. Several used the time to participate in a workshop, while some others enjoyed an invitation-only meal for the families of those remembered during the Memorial Service. Friday, May 23, 2025 Afternoon Gathering Rev. Kris Sledge and Rev. Rachel Gilmore, co-authors of Followers Under 40, led a teaching moment. Click here to watch the learning session video with Rev. Sledge and Rev. Gilmore. Following a break, Bishop invited the body to be seated for Plenary at 2:50pm, and again at 2:53pm. When members were seated, Bishop led the body in singing “Spirit of the living God…” Ms. Jessica White led the body in prayer. Ms. Roselynn Kingsbury brought greetings on behalf of the Conference Committee on Native American Ministries. Bishop reported that Rev. John Loeser was elected to Trustees the class of 2028 and to the class of 2029 Pastor Jack Keating, Mr. Ben Hill, and Ms. Audrey Gavin. -=-=-=-= Upper New York General Conference delegates Ms. Carmen FS Vianese and Rev. Beckie Sweet presented an overview of the process to ratify constitutional amendments as approved by UM Church at General Conference. They were sure to include how, according to the Book of Discipline, ratification requires 2/3 majority from all annual conferences worldwide. Because this is an aggregate, every Conference Secretary will submit the results from their conference vote to the Secretary to General Conference. They pointed out who was eligible to cast a vote and that discussion would be welcome but no amendments to the proposed constitutional
91
amendments could be made. After the body distributed the ballots among themselves, at Bishop’s direction, Ms. Vianese and Rev. Sweet presented ratification ballot number 1: Worldwide Regionalization and then invited discussion. Ms. Jayne Smith moved to suspend the rules to limit debate per constitutional amendment ballot to one-minute speeches, no more than three speeches for and three against, and no more than two points of information. Bishop explained, suspending the rules is not debatable and requires a 2/3 vote. The motion to suspend the rules around voting on proposed constitutional amendments carried. Ms. Kylie, who did not share her last name, asked about the universal applicability of Ballot #1 for countries UMC is founded in and those not founded in. Ms. Vianese explained that it would be applicable everywhere The United Methodist Church is living out its mission. Rev. Gary Kubitz asked if this passes, would we have regional conferences in addition to General Conference. Ms. Vianese explained that should this ballot pass, General Conference will still happen in 2028, which could be shorter than in the past. There would also be a US Regional Conference, also not too long, and a Jurisdictional Conference of approximately the same length. As of that time, hard numbers for cost were not available, but the hope is it would be financially feasible for more people with smaller bodies gathering for shorter amounts of time. Rev. Dr. Bill Allen lifted a speech against this amendment because he sees it as a change to our theology. With connectionalism at the heart of Methodism, ensuring everyone has a say is important. Giving people across the world a say is important, and this amendment would cut off people’s voices. Mr. Tim Barnes spoke in favor of this amendment that was brought forward in consultation with Central Conferences. It is strongly supported by those Central Conferences. It allows us to be less colonial and it allows persons in areas of the world other than the US to speak in voices comfortable to their spaces - they are on same level within the UMC as those that live in the US. Rev. Matthew Stengel spoke in favor of this amendment by reminding the body that in 2008, the General Conference created a commission of twenty-six people to look at the global nature of the church. That commission made a recommendation in 2012 that regionalization be adopted that did not pass for various reasons. Those reasons have since been addressed and corrections made. Rev. B.J. Norrix tried to request a point of information that Bishop ruled out of order because while the UMC has relationships with churches in South America, they remain autonomous so that is a different issue from what was being considered. With no additional comments from the floor, the body cast votes on ballot 1 onto paper ballots. Ms. Vianese and Rev. Sweet presented ratification ballot number 2: Church Inclusiveness and then shared a short video from Rev. Stephanie York Arnold. Ms. Kelly O’Connell asked if this amendment would include our transgender siblings under that umbrella. Ms Vienese answered yes. Ms. Rebecca Oliver spoke in favor of this amendment as a teacher teaching people of all ages of all abilities and encouraged a wider circle of inclusion. By not including people of different abilities, we are missing out on an amazing enrichment in our communities. It is important that it is put in writing, because in writing it means we make a promise. Mr. Frank Ambrosia asked if we would be running afoul of the current federal government who seems to have taken a stand against diversity. Bishop refused the question because it was not related to the discussion.
92
Ms. Angela Harris, a disabled female, spoke in favor of this amendment because she feels this needs to be in writing. The first time she felt loved was in church and by putting this in writing people know we are serious about it, making it part of our doctrine and how we walk with the Lord. Ms. Judy Craigmile asked why race was not included in this amendment. Rev. Sweet explained that race is already included in that paragraph in the Book of Discipline. With no additional comments from the floor, the body cast votes on ballot 2 onto paper ballots. Ms. Vianese and Rev. Sweet presented ratification ballot number 3: Racial Justice Rev. Pam Klotzbach spoke in favor of this amendment as one who has raised children of color to know Jesus is their best friend and that they know they are welcome in the church. With no additional comments from the floor, the body cast votes on ballot 3 onto paper ballots. Ms. Vianese and Rev. Sweet presented ratification ballot number 4: Voting for Clergy Delegates. Ms. Angelique Blair asked for clarification about this amendment granting rights to Licensed Local Pastors (LLPs) to be voted in as delegates. Rev. Sweet explained that LLPs would not be eligible to be voted onto the delegation but would be able to vote to elect delegates. Mr. Andrew Hunt asked about the language in this proposed amendment that references Central Conferences. Should Resolution 1 pass, establishing Regional Conferences, what would happen? Rev. Sweet explained then the language would change from Central to Regional, but the new requirement would be connected to theological education from an institution that has been approved by the University Senate. Rev. Keith Griswald spoke against the amendment as written because it does not account for seminary graduates from institutions that are no longer endorsed by the University Senate because it implies that should his seminary lose its endorsement, he should no longer be considered to be a delegate. Rev. Steven Smith spoke in favor of the amendment because if one earns a degree from a seminary while it was approved by the University Senate, the credentials stand with the graduate regardless of future determinations about the institution. Rev. Matthew French spoke against the amendment as one who attended several different seminaries to achieve his goals, recognized a redundance that required courses completed at non-approved seminaries need to be repeated at approved schools, thereby giving too much power to the General Board to “funnel people” to certain schools, which gives pause about the motives behind this amendment and limits flexibility in how to achieve the required credentials. Rev. Rachel Stuart spoke in favor of this amendment because it simply makes explicit what has always been in place, strengthening existing requirements, so, in a certain sense the vote is to make it clearer. Furthermore, ratifying ballot 1 - regionalization, would allow for the flexibility to identify the “equivalent” that may be needed in specific circumstances. With no additional comments from the floor, the body cast votes on ballot 4 onto paper ballots. Completed ballots were collected by the tellers according to the bishop’s instructions and secured by the Conference Secretary, who would tally them and then report the results to the General Conference Secretary. Unused ballots were collected and destroyed. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Click here to watch Daija’s Dolls at Eastern Parkway United Methodist Church. Ms. Heather Smith, Upper New York Peace With Justice Coordinator presented UNYAC2025.1 Making the Stranger Feel Welcome as found on page 106 in the Pre-Conference Workbook as one way for us as people of faith to move from just believing to acting on our faith - to support immigrant populations in our communities. Rev. Joe Auslander proposed an amendment to delete lines 43, 44, 45 and 46, because, while the overall stance of UMC to look out for people is agreeable, blaming individuals we may not agree with is not. Mr. Andrew Hunt spoke against the amendment because we are Christians called to mercy and justice. Jesus flipped tables. Ms. Melanie Keith spoke against the amendment because it doesn’t make sense as written. With no additional comments on the amendment, it was not supported by hand vote. Ms. Deb Sprat proposed an amendment to add to line 45 “be it further resolved that UNYAC call upon all its congregations to study the issues surrounding social justice including the loss of billions of dollars primarily from Medicaid and billions of dollars from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and a cut to Medicare estimated to be billions.” After confirming the language and consulting with the chancellor, Bishop ruled that it is out of order as it is not related to the purpose of the resolution being considered and offered private conversation at a later time if the maker would like to bring forward a motion. Ms. Rebecca Mendelara proposed an amendment to line 42; add after communities…”within the confines of the current law” so that we are supporting immigrant’s rights and while she was clear to explain that she was not in any way saying that people should be turned in, but it is slippery slope to disobey the law or encourage people to do something that might get them in trouble. Rev. Dee Lowman spoke against the amendment because in her understanding or experience as pastor she has not known that church is to uphold the law of the land, but rather the law of God. Therefore, we should not be including the sentiment of abiding by the law in an amendment that’s related directly to our call to care for least and lost. Mr. Kevin Clark lifted the point of information about some misalignment with line numbers when printing the Pre-Conference Journal. Ms. Diane Rowe spoke against the amendment by citing the Social Principles that say if the law is oppressive, it’s not only our right to break the law, sometimes it’s our responsibility as United Methodists, even though it is civil disobedience. Rev. Alan Kinney raised a point of information about the maker of original motion speaking to it if they disagree with the amendment, according to our rules. Pastor Nate Lange, given the need to break for Ordination, moved to suspend the rules to call the question on all that was before the body. Bishop explained and clarified several times that such a motion is not debatable, requires a 2/3 vote, and, if passed, would result in three votes without discussion; 1) to suspend the rules and call the question, which would end debate on the amendment and the resolution 2) on the amendment, and 3) on main resolution. The vote to suspend rules and call the question, carried. The vote on the amendment line 42 did not carry. Resolution UNYAC2025.1, unamended, was adopted.

Mr. Matt Williams took a moment of personal privilege to reintroduce Bow Tie Day, which will occur on Fridays during annual conference, beginning in 2026. The monitoring report was given by the Rev. Tom LeBeau and Ms. Ellen Klock. The Leadership Report, was shared by Lay Leader, Ms. Jessica White, who focused on the work of the Board of Laity, by Rev. Dr. Sherri Rood, who focused on the work of the cabinet, Rev. Raquel Alston who focused on the work of the Conference Leadership Team, and Rev. Dr. Aaron Bouwens who focused on the work of the Office of Missional Excellence. Each year the General Board of Discipleship celebrates the ministry of local congregations through the One Matters Discipleship Award. This award is given to churches with significant improvement of baptisms and professions of faith. The award, which includes $1,000 and a One Matters Discipleship Award plaque, was presented to Richfield Springs Church of Christ Uniting in the Oneonta District and to Lyndonville UMC in the Niagara Frontier District by Rev. Dr. Aaron Bouwens and Ms. Naomi Annandale. Bishop recognized those clergy serving an extension ministry. After Rev. Raquel Alston lifted the names of those murdered in a racist massacre at a Tops grocery store in East Buffalo on May 14, 2022, Rev. Tanya Spencer spoke about the differences scholarships can make for African American students, Pastor Angela Stewart shared about this year’s recipients of the Buffalo 10 Scholarships: Madison Matthews, Harmony Lester, and Akoul Yak, and Dr. Scott Johnson shared plans for a permanent memorial. On behalf of the Conference Commission on Religion and Race, Dr. Johnson announced the name change of the program “Imagine No Racism” to “Dismantling Racism: From Imagination to Action” which is more in alignment with the work we are doing throughout the conference and connection. Following a video from a youth perspective, the delegation to Africa University also shared stories of their experience and gifts to the bishop. Pastor Sam Smith, Conference Commission on Archives and History chair, presented UNYAC2025.2 Designation of a “Historic Site” from the GCAH to the Harkness UMC to honor Dr. Georgia Harkness as found in the Pre-Conference Workbook on pages 108-109, which was adopted without discussion. Bishop signed the confirmation that initiated the process with the General Commission on Archives and History. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Rev. Merle Showers presented UNYAC 2025. 4 Identifying and Opposing Apartheid in the Holy Land as found beginning on page 110 of the Pre-Conference Workbook, related to the “Social Principles: The Political Community; Government Responsibilities; G. Migrants, Immigrants and Refugees” as found in the Book of Discipline. Ms. Ella Hinklin, a youth member, proposed an amendment to strike lines 1-15 on page 112, because “The president’s current policy on Isarael and Palestine does not reflect this resolution…It is incredibly unlikely this letter would bring any positive change.” Ms. Angela Harris, after introducing, Casper the cockatoo, made a speech against this amendment because “…We need to send letters to our government. We need to stand up …” and protest loudly. Ms. Pheobe Glover offered a speech in favor of the amendment because it is “…very unlikely the President will respond…Even though he does work for us, he does not listen to us…” Rev. Doug Mackey made a speech against the amendment because “…If we are not going to send a message simply because we do not think someone is listening, we are not believing…” Ms. Deb Spratt spoke against the amendment because “…It is so important for this body as one to … make our voices heard…If we don’t we become part of the problem rather than part of the solution.” Ms. Jessica Itotia lifted a for speech in favor of the amendment by suggesting “…Instead of forcing Conference Secretary to send letter, we should be sending these letters individually and to our local leaders.” Bishop recognized that the discussion limit had been reached, the amendment did not carry. Mr. Bruce Fance made a speech against the resolution because “…While it might be the correct political response, I am not convinced this resolution is the best Christian response…” Rev. Dr. Robin Blair offered a speech in favor of the resolution because she “…Interviewed people on scholastic tour of Israel and I can tell you from lived experience that the apartheid is real…” Rev. Brett Johnson spoke in favor of the resolution, “…and I want to add a word, a word Jews experienced a hundred years ago: genocide…we need to stop this now. We need to make good trouble…We need to say even if it falls on deaf ears that we do not agree with this…remember the Israeli state is not the whole Jewish community…we have work to do here but we also have work to do there…” Mr. Mike Beardsley offered a speech against because this “…resolution fails to mention anything about the reasons behind Israel’s restrictive policies…Isreal deserves the right to protect itself proactively.” Rev. Robert Long gave a speech in favor of “…this particular resolution [that] speaks about real and identifiable instances going on…as our affirmation that all people in all places have a right to live, right to be, and a right to celebrate the sacredness of life.” Rev. Robert Dean moved to refer the issue to the Conference Commission on Religion and Race, asking for a more comprehensive plan to be considered next year. Rev. Robert Long spoke against the motion to refer because “putting off this resolution does no help. We need to act on this now because a year from now who knows how far the genocide could go.” Ms. Grace Stierheim offered a speech in favor of this motion to refer because “We are too divided at this time. … not right to choose between two groups of people.” And by next year we can create a campaign for individual action.
96
Rev. Matthew Stengel made a speech against the motion because “To refer to another body disrespects work of the taskforce that brought this resolution and wastes the time and effort of the conference.” Ms. Blenda Smith moved to call the question. Bishop refused the motion because the body had not yet reached the level of debate agreed to. Pastor Nate Lange moved to suspend the rules on all that remained for the body to accomplish during that session of plenary, by limiting all debate to one 1-minute speech for and one 1-minute speech against. Bishop explained the motion that carried. The motion to refer did not carry. When Bishop brought the body back to discussion of the main petition, Rev. Rachel Stuart raised a Point of Order about having reached the limit of debate regarding the number of speeches for and against, which the bishop acknowledged as correct. Ms. Deborah Skinner proposed an amendment to the petition that would add sending letters to governors, senators, and representatives. Pastor Ian Urriola raised a Point of Order by pointing out page 4 of the 2024 Conference Journal where the standing rules state that all names and mailing addresses of intended letter recipients must be listed in the text of the petition and the proposed amendment does not include that information. Bishop declares proposed amendment out of order. Bishop led us in prayer. Petition UNYAC 2025. 4 was adopted. Bishop shared an invitation from the Palestinian Task Force for all Christian churches to join in prayer on June 8 for Christian Palestinians as they gather to worship on Pentecost. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=Mr. Lee Mount presented UNYAC2025.3 Sound Level at Annual Conference as found on page 115 of the Pre-Conference Workbook that proposed that “sound technicians at Annual Conference shall have an accurate sound level meter and shall maintain sound levels at 80 dBA with brief excursions at a maximum of 85 dBA.” Ms. Joy Hammon offered a speech against this petition because according to the sound app on her phone, the sound level during speeches had been very low. Rev. Melanie Simmons lifted a speech in favor of this petition because “Hearing loss is permanent and preventable. No one who is required to be here should be subjected to something that could deafen them.” The petition UNYAC2025.3 was adopted. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ms. Tara Barnes presented UNYAC2025.5 Embracing the Fullness of Lay Ministry as found on pages 116-117 of the Pre-Conference Workbook that recommends including retired deaconesses and retired home missioners as prioritized lay equalization members was adopted without discussion. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Mr. Cory Tylenda presented UNYAC2025.6 Encouraging United Methodist Institutions with Endowment to Utilize Wespath Institutional Investing as found on pages 118-119 of the Pre-Conference Workbook that proposed all those bodies within the Upper New York Annual Conference with endowment or investment assets, from the Conference to the local churches, be encouraged all to consider hiring Wespath Institutional Investments to manage all or a portion of their investments.
97
Ms. Brooke Conklin proposed an amendment to add “OR THE UNITED METHODIST FRONTIER FOUNDATION SERVING UPPER NEW YORK AND NEW YORK ANNUAL CONFERENCES” at the end of the title, and to add, “Whereas the United Methodist Frontier Foundation has been effectively serving large and small churches in the Upper New York Conference for over 50 years. They achieve this by delivering socially principled investment management, fostering generosity, promoting education, providing financial tools, and facilitating connectionalism” following Line 12 on page 119, and to remove the word “hiring” on page 119 line 16, and add, after Wespath institutional investments, the words “or the United Methodist Frontier Foundation,” and to add the word “both” after promote and after Wespath institutional investing, the words “and the United Methodist Frontier Foundation” on page 119 Line 19 because these would give more opportunity for large and small churches to have large and small investments that was approved. Petition UNYAC2025.6 was adopted as amended. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=Ms. Michelle Cole presented UNYAC2025.7 Inviting All to Experience the Love of Christ as found on page 120 of the Pre-Conference Workbook that would result in a conference team that resources local congregations on inclusivity of LGBTQIA+ persons. Ms. Angelique Blair offered a speech in favor of the petition based on her own experiences of being hurt by the church because she married a woman. Pastor Dave Buzard proposed amending line 48 by adding “ability, and neurodivergence” to list of descriptors, that was approved without discussion. Petition UNYAC2025.7 was adopted as amended. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Rev. Sara Baron presented UNYAC2025.8 Endorse NYS Poor People’s Campaign and Labor-Religion Coalition of NYS Statement, “Keep New York’s Commitment to Cut Child Poverty as found on pages 123-126 of the Pre-Conference Workbook. Pastor Amber Gregory asked about the sources of the information in lines 18-19, which Bishop explained was excluded as a clerical error and will be added as a footnote link. Mr. Tyler Nelson spoke against the petition because he does not believe a politically divisive issue has any place in the church. Petition UNYAC2025.8 was adopted. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= After all petitions were addressed, Bishop Héctor thanked all those who worked to organize annual conference and all who helped and participated. He then led the body in a moment of prayer bringing plenary to a close. A moment of personal privilege was given to Rev. Cathy Hall-Stengel who offered words of welcome and restoration to those who have been harmed by the church in the past and encouragement that we be a church that does no harm. Rev. Carolyn Stow moved to adjourn the sixteenth (16th) Session of The Upper New York Annual Conference until the body gathers again from May 28-30, 2026, in Syracuse, New York for the Seventeenth (17th) Session of The Upper New York Annual Conference and that in matters of importance requiring attention between ses-

Conference Rules
The Upper New York Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church (2025)
The Rules contained herein consist of the totality of Rules previously adopted by the Annual Conference, as amended. Adopted by the Annual Conference, May 2012 Amended by Annual Conference, June 2013, Amended by Annual Conference, October 2022. Amended by Annual Conference, May 2025 The Upper New York Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church Organizational Rules The organizational plan of The Upper New York Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church (as defined in The Plan of Union of The Upper New York Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, approved on June 19, 2010, hereinafter referred to as The Plan of Union, with statements of Vision and Purpose contained therein) will be as determined by the Annual Conference itself, in such a manner as (1) to be responsive to the Vision and Purpose of the Annual Conference, (2) to be responsive to the Mission of The United Methodist Church, as most recently adopted by The General Conference of The United Methodist Church, 2020/2024, (3) to be compatible with The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church 2020/2024 hereinafter referred to as The Discipline or The Book of Discipline, and (4) to be reflective of the Rules contained herein. Paragraph references contained herein are to The Book of Discipline unless indicated otherwise. The primary loci for ministry and mission in The United Methodist Church are the local churches and the communities in which they are located. The Annual Conference has responsibilities for sharing and assisting the ministry and mission of its local churches by equipping for ministry and by providing linkages for the sharing of ministry t h ro u g h s u c h m e a n s a s m o t i va t i o n , e n c o u ra g e m e n t , fa c i l i t a t i o n , c o o r d i n a t i o n , t ra i n i n g , valuation, and other forms of support. The Annual Conference also provides the challenge to global ministry (that is, connectional, ecumenical, and secular ministry beyond the local church and its community), and the link between local ministry and global ministry. In order to fulfill its role with respect to its local churches, The United Methodist Church, and the church universal, the Annual Conference will elect or otherwise select persons to serve as individuals or as members of specific groups, with understood duties, responsibilities, and accountabilities to the local churches and to the Annual Conference at large. Elected Members and Ex Officio Members of Conference Agencies In what follows, there will be distinctions between those who are directly elected by the Annual Conference itself or by a group within the Annual C onference to serve as an individual, or as a member of a group (with privileges of both voice and vote) in contrast to those who serve (ex officio) by virtue of holding some other office or position and serving with privileges of voice and vote, or with privilege of voice only. Persons who serve on General Church Agencies or Jurisdictional Agencies shall serve on the corresponding agencies of the Annual Conference, ex officio, with vote. Unless otherwise stated, it shall be the preference of the Upper New York Conference for individuals to only be elected to serve on one Conference Agency or Board. This preference shall not preclude individuals from minoritized, disenfranchised, or under-served communities from serving on Conference Agencies or Boards whose primary mission is serving and/or advocating for their minoritized, disenfranchised, or under-served communities, including, but not limited to, the Conference Commission on Religion and Race, the Conference Commission on the Status and Role of Women, the Conference Committee on Native American Ministries, the Conference Hispanic Ministries Team, the Conference Committee on Disability Concerns, the Conference Ministry Action Team for Higher Education, the Conference Council on Older Adult Ministries, the Conference Council on Youth Ministries, and the Conference Council on Young Adult Ministries. Likewise, this preference shall not preclude individuals from ex-officio membership on Conference Agencies and Boards by virtue of their position or status. Terms of Office and Term Limits of Elected Members of Conference Agencies For persons who are elected to serve as members of groups in “membership classes”, the term of office is from the moment of adjournment of the Conference Session at which the election took place or the selection was announced, until the moment of adjournment of the regular Conference Session held in the year of the “class.” Persons will normally be elected to classes for full‐length terms, exceptions occurring only to fill vacancies and during the period of startup for the group concerned. Unless stated otherwise for specific groups, full‐length terms shall be for four years, and the maximum term for persons serving in classes shall be two consecutive full‐length terms. Individuals who have served two consecutive full-length terms may be invited by the Nominations and Leadership Development Team to continue service on the team in emeritus status, with voice and no vote. Individuals serving
185
in this capacity may return to full service on the group following one year of emeritus service, if nominated by the Nominations and Leadership Development team. In the event of a vacancy opening in a class after the adjournment of the regular Annual Conference session at which the election for that took place or the selection was announced, the Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development in consultation with the team in need of filling a vacancy shall nominate an individual to fill the vacancy to be confirmed by Conference Leadership Team. The appointee’s service on this group shall begin immediately following their confirmation. At the regular Annual Conference session immediately following their nomination to the Conference Agency or Board, the Annual Conference shall ratify this nomination or elect a new individual to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the term. If their vacancy service equates to less than half of the length of the full term of that team, their vacancy service shall not count as a full term, and they shall not be subject to existing term limits for that team. If their vacancy service equates to half the length of the full term for that team or longer, their vacancy term shall count as a full term, subject to existing term limits for that team. Service “on a quadrennial basis” indicates full‐length terms beginning and ending in years when the General Conference meets. Successive tenures on the same group must be separated by an absence of at least one year. Lay Members of Conference Agencies Unless stated otherwise, lay persons elected to serve on groups or individuals within The Upper New York Annual Conference shall be professing members of The United Methodist Church, except for youth members. The Nomination Process and Diversity Recommendations Unless stated otherwise for specific groups, nominations shall be by the Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development, or from the floor of the Annual Conference; elections will be by the Annual Conference itself meeting in plenary session. Membership of organizations within the Annual Conference shall, to as great an extent as possible, conform and adhere to the recommendations contained in ¶610.5 of The Book of Discipline. It is further recommended that, as much as possible, there be balance of membership from among the respective Districts of the Annual Conference, a balance of representation from urban, suburban, and rural local churches, and representation from small‐member and ethnic‐minority local churches. Leadership of Conference Agencies Unless stated otherwise for specific groups, groups elected by the Annual Conference will be expected to organize themselves at their first meetings of the year. This Organizational Meeting will include the election of a chairperson (unless one is designated through the nominations process), a vice chairperson, and a (recording) secretary from among the elected members. Once elected, these officers will continue in place until new officers are elected. In the event that the slate of nominees (including continuing members) for a specific group includes neither a continuing chairperson nor a continuing vice‐chairperson for that group, the Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development shall designate an initial convener from among the nominees for the group. This person will convene the organizational meeting and preside until a chairperson is duly elected. Scheduling of Conference Agency Meetings A schedule of meetings for each group will be proposed and approved by majority vote at the Organizational Meeting of each group, or electronically as soon thereafter as possible. The nature and complexity of the work to be completed shall drive the scheduling and frequency of meetings. Meetings of groups consisting of at least 50 percent lay persons shall be scheduled on evenings and weekends whenever possible so that the working schedules of persons employed outside of the Church and school schedules of students may be accommodated. Additionally, and for the purpose of minimizing travel costs and time, meetings will be held using Conference telephone calling or other appropriate technologies whenever possible, provided that the specialized needs of persons with handicapping conditions are accommodated. The quorum for the conduct of business at scheduled meetings shall be those present and voting. Persons unable to attend meetings (due to personal illness, family emergency, work or school schedule conflicts, work emergency, adverse weather, or other uncontrollable circumstances acceptable to the Chairperson) shall be expected, whenever possible, to request an excused absence before the convening of the meeting concerned. Elected members of groups who have two consecutive unexcused absences from regularly scheduled meetings will be assumed as having resigned from the group, and the Chairperson of the group will request the nomination and election of a replacement through the Chairperson of the Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development. Nothing contained herein shall limit the ability of the Chairperson to call special meetings as may be necessary, but a majority of the elected voting membership must be present in order to conduct business at such called meetings.

Effective Action - The original policies and procedures regarding petitions and resolutions were approved by the Upper New York Annual Conference meeting in session, 2011. The updates contained herein shall be effective starting in 2013. They collectively or individually shall remain in effect until changed by the Annual Conference in subsequent sessions. 2. Changing the Policies and Procedures - After initial approval in 2011, proposals for changes in the standing policies and procedures regarding petition and resolutions will be submitted by the Committee on Petitions and Resolutions to the Committee on Rules. The Committee on Rules will consider such proposals for changes in policies and procedures (and may, itself, initiate recommended changes) and will make its recommendations to the Commission on Sessions and of the Annual Conference. 3. Scope of These Policies and Procedures, and the Responsibilities of the Committee on Petitions and Resolutions - The Committee on Petitions and Resolutions shall be responsible for all aspects of the organizing and processing of Petitions, Resolutions, and other items of a legislative nature through those portions of the Annual Conference Session designated for “Holy Conferencing” by the Commission on Sessions.

When feasible, and at the discretion of the chair and the advice of the resident bishop, technological assistance in performing committee work will occur in place of face‐to‐face committee meetings. 5. Definition: “Petition” - A “petition” is a document that requests a specific action of the Annual Conference itself, the Northeastern Jurisdictional Conference of The United Methodist Church, or The General Conference of The United Methodist Church.

Also, in accordance with the Rules of The General Conference and Robert’s Rules of Order, substitute motions may be received. Amendments and the main motion shall require a simple majority of those present and voting unless a super‐majority is required by Conference Rules. The originator also shall be permitted to be the last speaker for one minute for each proposed amendment, as well as the last speaker prior to the final vote on the entire petition or resolution. Otherwise, the other existing rules of the Conference shall apply to the consideration of legislative item. 18. Presence of Originator - No petition or resolution shall be considered by the session or a sub‐group of the session without the presence of the originator as named in the petition or resolution – or the presence of a person designated by her or him.

Appendix II Equalization Lay Members I. The Constitution (¶33 of The Book of Discipline 2020/2024) and Discipline (¶602.4 of The Book of Discipline 2020/2024) of The United Methodist Church require that the number of Lay Members of each Annual Conference be augmented, through the addition of “Equalization Lay Members” (with voice and vote) so as to equal the number of Clergy Members in the Annual Conference concerned. The means for electing these Equalization Lay Members is left to the discretion of each Annual Conference. II. The Conference Secretary shall, at the close of each calendar year, determine the number of Equalization Lay Members to be needed at the following Session of the Annual Conference by calculating the difference between the number of Clergy Members of the Annual Conference and the number of Lay Members to be elected by the respective Local Charge Conferences. This number shall be reported, promptly, to the Cabinet, the Chair of the Sessions Committee, and the Chair of the Rules Committee. III. The Chair of the Rules Committee shall create a prioritized list of potential nominees to serve as Equalization Lay Members. Lay persons who are the elected members from their Local Charge Conferences will not be included on this list. This list, with reserves if it exceeds the number of Equalization Lay Members needed as determined by the Conference Secretary, and reserves beyond that number, shall be published and distributed by the Director of Communications with other pre-conference materials, and incorporated by reference into the Conference Secretary’s Organizational Motion so that these nominees to serve as Equalization Lay Members (and Reserve Equalization Lay Members) can be duly nominated and elected as a first order of business of the Annual Conference. (Persons who are beyond the number specified by the Conference Secretary who might otherwise be qualified to serve as Equalization Lay Members shall be eligible to serve as Reserve Equalization Lay Members.) IV. General Rules and Limitations A. All Lay Members of the Annual Conference, with the exception of youth, must be Professing Members of The United Methodist Church. Persons who are not Professing Members of The United Methodist Church may be granted voice without vote at Sessions of the Annual Conference. These persons shall not count toward the total number of Equalization Lay Members. B.
No Lay Person shall be eligible to serve simultaneously both as an Elected Lay Member (from a Local Charge Conference) and as Equalization Lay Member at the same Session of the Annual Conference. Election from a Local Charge Conference shall have precedence over election to serve as an Equalization Lay Member.
C.
No Lay Person may hold more than one Equalization Lay Membership at a single session of the Annual Conference.
D. Clergy Members are ineligible to serve in any lay capacity. V. The prioritized list of potential nominees to serve as Equalization Lay Members shall be as follows: A. Lay Persons, by virtue of their office, as specifically identified in ¶602.4 of The Book of Discipline 2020/2024, during their tenure of office. This list is limited by The Discipline, and includes: • The Conference Lay Leader. • The District Lay Leaders. • The Conference President (or co‐Presidents) of United Women in Faith. • The Conference President (or co‐Presidents) of United Methodist Men. • The President (or co‐Presidents) of the Conference Young Adult Ministry Team. • The President (or co‐Presidents) of the Conference Council on Youth Ministry. • The Conference Scouting Coordinator. • The Chair (or co‐Chairs) of the Conference College Association. • One Young Adult from each District between the ages of eighteen and thirty, inclusive, as selected by the respective District Lay Leader in consultation with the Conference and District Young Adult Organizations. • One Youth from each District between the ages of twelve and eighteen, inclusive, as selected by the District Lay Leader in consultation with the Conference and District Youth Organizations. • Diaconal Ministers, as defined by ¶602.2 of The Book of Discipline 2016. • Deaconesses and Home Missioners as recognized by the General Board of Global Ministries ¶33 of The Book of Discipline 2020/2024 and identified by the Conference Secretary in accordance with ¶1913.3c(1) of The Book of Discipline 2020/2024. Insofar as this list is disciplinary, it must be included in full, even if the number of persons listed exceeds the Conference Secretary’s calculated total of the number of Equalization Lay Members needed.
194
B. Lay Supply Pastors as assigned by District Superintendents, during the tenure of their assignment. If the number of persons qualifying herein exceeds the Conference Secretary’s calculated total number of Equalization Lay Members needed, the Cabinet will be consulted to establish priorities. Those who cannot be accommodated will be Alternate Equalization Lay Members. C. Retired deaconesses and retired home missioners. D. Lay Persons in positions of leadership within the Annual Conference, during their tenure of office. This list includes: • The Associate Conference Lay Leaders. • The Associate District Lay Leaders. • The Conference Director of Lay Servant Ministries. • The Conference Secretary of Global Ministries. • The President and Members of the Conference Trustees. • The President and Members of the Conference Council on Finance and Administration. • The Members of the Sessions Committee. • The Chair and Members of the Conference Leadership Team. • The Conference Executive Staff Team (formerly Management Team). • Lay Persons in roles of leadership of the various Conference Programs, Boards, Councils, Commissions, Agencies, Teams, etc. as defined in The Book of Discipline 2020/2024, created by action of the Annual Conference or the bishop, appearing on the Organizational Charts of the Annual Conference, identified in the Conference Rules, and/or composed of persons nominated by the Committee on Leadership Development and Nominations and elected by the Annual Conference. The determining question is that of the need of the person concerned to be present, with voice and vote, at formal meetings of the Annual Conference, in order to adequately fulfill and discharge the duties and responsibilities to which he or she has been elected or appointed. • The Peace with Justice Coordinator for the Annual Conference. • Lay Persons in roles of leadership of the various functioning Conference‐level Agencies defined in The Book of Discipline 2020/2024 as being a part of the organizational structure of the Annual Conference. • The most recently elected Lay Delegates to The General Conference of The United Methodist Church and/or the Northeastern Jurisdictional Conference of The United Methodist Church. • Lay Members of Agencies, Boards, Councils, Commissions, Teams, etc. of The General Conference or the Northeastern Jurisdictional Conference of The United Methodist Church. If the number of persons qualifying herein exceeds the number that can be accommodated (according to the calculation of the Conference Secretary), priorities will be determined by the Chair of the Rules Committee in consultation with the Conference Lay Leader on the basis of the need of the respective candidates to be present, with voice and vote, at formal meetings of the Annual Conference in order to fulfill and discharge their duties and responsibilities to the Annual Conference. Those who cannot be so accommodated will be Alternate Equalization Lay Members. After the foregoing have been accommodated, the remaining Equalization Lay Memberships (if any) will be divided as equally as possible among the respective districts of the Annual Conference, with the remainders of this division being shifted among the Districts on an annual basis. These Equalization Memberships will be awarded by the respective District Lay Leaders in consultation with organizations within the District. Youth (in consultation with District youth leadership) should be given a priority for at least one‐third of these memberships, these youth members shall be in excess of the disciplinary youth memberships mentioned above. Attention should also be given to unrepresented local churches on multi‐point charges, to persons who are able to bring wisdom and experience of value to the Annual Conference, and to the guidelines for inclusivity found in ¶140 of The Book of Discipline 2020/2024.

196
X. Balloting A. Balloting will be by written or electronic ballot, as determined quadrennially by the Commission on Sessions. Electronic ballots prepared in advance for the election of Lay Delegates will include the names of all of the persons who have submitted “Candidate Information Sheets” in accordance with the procedure described above and will allow for the addition of “write‐in” candidates.

After balloting has begun, no one will speak, directly or by implication, for or against any candidate for any reason, including, but not limited to, age, giftedness, ethnicity, gender, physical ability, theology, or geography. C. Any person who did not submit the Candidate Information Sheet, by the date specified by the Commission on Sessions, but receives twenty‐five (25) or more ballots cast for her or him on the first ballot, shall be added (manually by lay members on Lay Delegate ballots) to future ballots. He or she may prepare and place on the Conference registration table printed copies of her or his responses to the “Candidate Information Sheet” that was not previously submitted. He or she will be introduced before the second ballot, if present, or as soon as possible. D.

The clergy and the laypersons receiving the highest numbers will be elected as alternates to the N.E.J, according to the numbers needed. E. If the scheduled time for final adjournment is within one hour without the necessary delegates having been elected, a final ballot will be taken and those receiving the highest number of votes will be elected, in order as delegates and alternates according to the numbers needed. F. After the first ballot, any subsequent ballot that contains the name of a person who did not complete and submit the Candidate Information Sheet, by the date specified by the Commission on Sessions, or who did not fulfill “C,” above, will be invalid. G. Any ballot that contains more or fewer names than there are places to be filled on that ballot will be invalid. H. Any ballot that contains the name of a person already elected will be invalid. I. Any ballot that is not marked, in the opinion of the head teller(s), according to the instructions given by the presiding officer or secretary, will be invalid. J.

In subsequent quadrennia, the delegation’s vice‐leader will alternate between the first layperson elected and the first clergy person elected. D. The Annual Conference Council on Finance and Administration will provide financial support of at least four delegation meetings during the year prior to the General Conference. Dates will be determined by the delegation and places in concert with that board or agency. E. Agenda of meetings of the delegation shall include worship; fellowship; attending to logistical matters; and expert‐led discussions regarding selected General and Jurisdictional topics. F.

197
Attachment A
from The Book of Discipline, 2020/2024: “Delegates shall be elected in a fair and open process by the Annual Conferences.” (Constitution, Section II, ¶ 14, Article I, 2.). “The persons first elected up to the number determined by the ratio for representation in the General Conference shall be representatives in that body. Additional delegates shall be elected to complete the number determined by the ratio for representation in the jurisdictional or central conference, which, together with those first elected as above, shall be delegates in the jurisdictional or central conference. The additional delegates to the jurisdictional or central conference shall in the order of their election be the reserve delegates to the General Conference. The Annual Conference shall also elect reserve clergy and lay delegates to the jurisdictional or central conference as it may deem desirable. These reserve clergy and lay delegates to the jurisdictional or central conferences may act as reserve delegates to the General conference when it is evident that not enough reserve delegates attend the General Conference.” (Constitution, Section VI, ¶35). “The clergy delegates to the General Conference and to the jurisdictional or central conference shall be elected by and from the ordained ministerial members in full connection with the Annual Conference or provisional Annual Conference.” (Constitution, Section VI, ¶35) See Judicial Council decisions 1, 308, 403, 473, 531, 534, and 875. “The lay delegates to the General and Jurisdictional or Central Conferences shall be elected by the lay members of the Annual Conference or provisional Annual Conference without regard to age, provided such delegates shall have been professing members of The United Methodist Church for at least two years next preceding their election, and shall have been active participants in The United Methodist Church for at least four years next preceding their election, and are members thereof within the Annual Conference electing them at the time of holding the General and Jurisdictional or Central Conferences.” (Constitution, Section VI, ¶37)

198
Appendix IV Nomination of Candidates for Election to the Episcopacy In accordance with the Constitution and The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church (¶¶47 and 405), the responsibility for electing persons to The United Methodist Council of Bishops and the respective Jurisdictional Colleges of Bishops rests with the Jurisdictional Conferences. The respective Annual Conferences may nominate candidates for election to the episcopacy by their Jurisdictional Conferences. The purpose of this Appendix is to establish a procedure whereby the members of the Upper New York Annual Conference, and the Annual Conference itself, may participate in the process of nominating candidates to the Northeastern Jurisdictional Conference. The Book of Discipline (¶405) specifically prohibits the binding of any delegate to vote for any specific candidate seeking election to the episcopacy. During the year preceding the convening of the Jurisdictional Conference, the most recently elected Delegates to the Jurisdictional Conference shall serve as a “nominating committee” for the nomination of candidates to the Annual Conference for nomination by the Annual Conference to the Jurisdictional Conference. The Jurisdictional Delegation shall solicit the membership of the Annual Conference (including the members of the Delegation itself)for recommendations and self‐recommendations of persons eligible for election to and service on the episcopacy ¶¶402, 408). The Delegation, guided by The Book of Discipline (¶403) and using procedures of its own design, shall discern the gifts and graces of each and every person so recommended, and shall recommend to the Session of the Annual Conference immediately preceding the convening of the Jurisdictional Conference the nomination of persons discerned by the Delegation to have the gifts and graces for episcopal service. The Annual Conference may nominate none, any, and all of these persons recommended by the Delegation. The Annual Conference can also consider persons nominated directly from the floor. Candidacy is not limited to clergy members of The Upper New York Annual Conference; any person meeting disciplinary requirements (¶¶402 and 408.1) may be recommended. As a part of the solicitation for recommendations from the membership of the Annual Conference, the Delegation will specify the nature of the materials to be included in the recommendation. These shall include contact information, academic preparation, pastoral appointments, a listing of past and present church responsibilities (both denominational and ecumenical), and reasons for the recommendation. There shall also be included a brief statement (less than 200 words) as to why the person being recommended feels that he/she will, in his/her own words, bring the kind of episcopal leadership that The Church needs at this point in time. The Delegation shall share candidate recommendations for persons nominated by the Delegation through online materials on our website. Persons nominated on the floor may distribute comparable materials when their names are submitted.
199
Appendix V Procedure for the Nomination of Candidates to be Elected to Certain General and Jurisdictional Agencies of The United Methodist Church by the Northeastern Jurisdictional Conference (¶705) One of the functions of the quadrennial Jurisdictional Conference is the election of persons to serve on specific agencies of the General Church for the coming quadrennium. Nominations for these positions are made by the Jurisdictional Nominating Committee to the Jurisdictional Conference based upon a “pool” of nominees (including both clergy and laity) approved by each of the respective Annual Conferences within the Jurisdictional Conference. It is the responsibility of the Bishop and the Jurisdictional Delegation to present the pool of candidates for endorsement by the Annual Conference session immediately preceding the meeting of the Jurisdictional Conference. The following procedure is to be used in guiding this process. 1.
All members of the General Conference Delegation are to be included in the pool
2.
At least fifteen and not more than forty‐five additional persons are to be included in the pool a.
Persons presently serving on a general agency and wishing to continue serving on the same or a different agency may be included in the pool. The electability of these persons by Jurisdictional Conference will be subject to a variety of term limits. b. Members of the Jurisdictional Delegation (including Reserves) not elected to the General Conference may be included as additional members of the pool. c. The total pool should include between one and five persons in of each of the following categories: clergy (including at least one clergywoman), laywomen, laymen, youth (ages 12‐16) young adults (ages 17‐28) older adults (over 65), and persons with disabilities. Each name presented to the Jurisdictional Nominating Committee should include an indication of all appropriate categories. d. If possible the total pool should include at least two persons from each of the following recognized ethnic groups: Asian American, African American, Hispanic American, Native American, and Pacific Islander. 3.
Effective in 2016, forms for nomination and/or self‐nomination to the pool will be distributed electronically with Conference pre‐registration forms and available in hard copy at pre‐conference briefings and District Conferences. They must be turned in at the registration table at Annual Conference. A completed nomination form will include name and other contact information; category (item 2c above), ethnicity if appropriate (item 2d above); three preferences as to the agencies on which the applicant would like to serve, together with reasons for volunteering for such service; a listing of past services to their District, the Annual Conference, the Jurisdictional Conference, the General Church, and/or ecumenical agencies; and a list of church memberships or pastoral appointments.

CLERGY SUPPORT POLICIES III. Clergy Housing Policy
(Comm. On Equitable Compensation)
In the United Methodist Church, housing is provided to clergy. While the parsonage remains the normative provision of housing, some parishes prefer to offer, and some clergy prefer to receive, a housing allowance instead. The complexities of contemporary economics, local church resources and pastoral households make it less likely that a “one size fits all” housing provision best meets the needs of every situation. Local churches and clergy both need to carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages, especially if considering a change from one to the other. A. Values and Considerations The Upper New York Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church believes that both congregations and clergy benefit when clergy and their families live in residences which are safe, clean, comfortable, and as commodious as the average home in their community. It is required that clergy housing meet all applicable local and state residential codes. As faithful stewards of the earth and other limited resources, congregations and clergy are encouraged to make clergy housing as energy efficient as possible. Local churches may prefer to provide a housing allowance for a variety of reasons: less property to maintain and repair, more predictable budget implications, and no “landlord” issues with their pastor. Likewise, clergy households may prefer a housing allowance for other reasons, such as: accumulation of equity, allowance for differing clergy household needs, ability to locate in a desired location, freedom to renovate and refurbish as desired, and no “tenant” relationship with parishioners. However, it is also to be acknowledged that tension may exist between the appointive/itinerant system of clergy deployment and the housing allowance system. Pastoral appointments are made on an annual basis at the will of the bishop. The financial advantage to long-term clergy home ownership may be at odds with a short-term need or desire for a pastoral transition. It must be understood by all that the provision of a housing allowance or parsonage shall not be a primary consideration by the bishop and cabinet for future appointments for the pastor. Further, a local church that has a parsonage available to the pastor is under no obligation to provide a housing allowance if that pastor prefers to live in a different location. B. Parsonages 1. Relationships and Responsibility The parsonage is to be mutually respected by the pastor’s family as the property of the church and by the church as a place of privacy for the pastor’s family. (Book of Discipline of the UMC, par. 258.2.g.16)

CLERGY SUPPORT POLICIES The chairperson of the Staff-Parish Relations Committee, the chairperson of the Board of Trustees or the chairperson of the Parsonage Committee, if one exists, and the pastor shall make an annual inspection and review of the church-owned parsonage to assure proper maintenance. (Book of Discipline of the UMC, paragraph 258.2.g.16) The church shall provide a parsonage which addresses the values noted above and the standards listed below. Standard maintenance and repairs, and renovation of the parsonage are the responsibility of the church. The Trustees or Parsonage Committee shall arrange, supervise, and arrange payment for such tasks. Necessary work shall be scheduled in consultation with the pastor. The church and the pastor shall work together to develop a process to assure timely, good quality repairs and maintenance. • • • • • •

Parsonages with a wood burning heat source must have a professional chimney inspection (and cleaning if necessary) at least every 2 years. The pastor shall furnish the house to suit his or her needs. The pastor is responsible for notifying the church about necessary repairs as the need arises. The pastor is responsible for the repair of damages exceeding normal wear and tear. The church, in consultation with the pastor, is responsible for lawn care and snow removal. The church shall pay for insurance, heat, electricity, garbage and trash removal, water and sewer, basic telephone service (landline or cell), and installation fees for cable or satellite television service if broadcast reception is inadequate. Churches that expect pastors to have access to the internet away from the church should pay for internet access at the parsonage. The pastor shall pay for personal toll calls and communication services beyond those provided by the church.
If a pastor is appointed to serve more than one local congregation, all congregations shall share equitably, the costs and other responsibilities of providing a parsonage. If more than one congregation has a parsonage, the parsonage of residence shall be determined by the District Superintendent in consultation with the appointed pastor and the congregations. If a parsonage is occupied by a clergy couple serving different appointments, all congregations served shall share equitably and reasonably the costs and responsibilities of providing a parsonage. The parsonage of residence and shared cost responsibilities shall be determined by the District Superintendent in consultation with the appointed pastors and affected congregations.

204
CLERGY SUPPORT POLICIES Adherence to this policy by both clergy and congregation is essential to the appointment covenant. Failure to adhere to this policy by either clergy or congregation may jeopardize current and future appointments. 2. Parsonage Standards Parsonages shall have at least 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a kitchen, dining room, living room, laundry facilities, appropriate storage capacity, and provision for 2 parking spaces. All shall be in good repair and meet all applicable local and state health and safety codes. The parsonage shall be at least the size of the average home in its community. The church is responsible for providing a furnished office or study for the pastor. While it is preferable to locate this office in the church or another church building, if necessary, it may be a separate, additional room in the parsonage. If the Pastor’s primary office is located in the parsonage, it must have its own, separate, outside entrance and unencumbered windows, in accordance with Safe Sanctuary policies. 3. Rooms and Spaces a. Bedrooms should be large enough to contain a bed, adequate storage for clothing (dresser and closet, or dresser and wardrobe), and a desk and chair or a reading area. It is preferable to have at least one fully accessible bedroom on the ground floor of the house. b. Bathroom facilities shall include: a toilet and sink on each floor, a tub, a shower, a medicine cabinet, and storage space for linens and supplies in or near the main bathroom. It is preferable to have at least 2 complete bathrooms including a fully accessible, complete bathroom on the ground floor. c.

In areas with hard water, water softeners shall be installed and maintained. Leaks of any kind are not acceptable. d. Safety, Security, and Environment - Parsonages shall be equipped with properly maintained CO detectors and smoke alarms, and have fire extinguishers in kitchen, furnace room, near fireplaces, pellet stoves or wood stoves, and near bedrooms. Radon testing shall be done periodically, and remedial measures taken if necessary. Visible mold and moldy odors shall not be present. The presence of any health threat shall be remediated including, but not limited to: lead and uncontained asbestos. Where necessary for the safety of children and/or vulnerable adults, yards and outside spaces shall be adequately enclosed.

206
CLERGY SUPPORT POLICIES g. Exterior - The roof, exterior walls, exterior doors, windows, and foundation of the parsonage shall be carefully maintained to keep out the elements, pests, and to conserve energy. The house shall be adequately insulated. It is preferable to have energy efficient doors and windows that suit the architecture of the house as much as possible. i.
Porches and decks shall be maintained to ensure their safety. Exterior faces and spaces of the building(s) and yard shall be designed and maintained to be functional for the family, and to be a pleasant addition to the community.
5. Waivers and Exceptions If the minimum standards described above cannot be met because of the age or historic character of the house, the charge must propose alternatives which afford an equivalent quality of life to that set by these standards. Any such changes must be approved by the District Superintendent. It is understood that such changes will not compromise the safety provisions of these standards, the overall functionality of the parsonage, or the mandate that it be kept in good repair. It should be noted that the accessibility preferences described above are mandated when purchasing or building a new parsonage. (Book of Discipline of the UMC, par. 2544.4b) 6. Transition Protocols Prior to a pastor’s move, but no more than every 5 years, a certified building inspector shall inspect the parsonage so that the congregation can plan necessary maintenance and repairs. If a pastor is moving and the parsonage has had a professional inspection within the past 5 years, this pre-move inspection may be performed by the outgoing pastor, the chairperson of the SPRC, and the chairperson of the Board of Trustees and/or the chairperson of the Parsonage Committee or their designates. The outgoing pastor shall leave the parsonage clean and in good order. As soon as possible after a change in appointment is announced, the Trustees or Parsonage Committee shall inspect the parsonage for maintenance needs and damage caused by the outgoing residents, including damage caused by pets. [It is recommended that a signed Parsonage Inspection Form and a Parsonage Transition Form be filed with the District Office and a copy of the inspection provided to the incoming pastor.] If excessive damage is discovered, it will be the responsibility of the outgoing pastor to pay for repairs of or replace the damaged item(s). When the pastor or family has allowed smoking within the parsonage, the cost of professional cleaning, and purchase of an air purifier, if necessary, to remove smoke odor will be the responsibility of the outgoing pastor.
7
207
CLERGY SUPPORT POLICIES The charge shall refurbish, repair and thoroughly clean the parsonage prior to a new pastor moving in. Damaged walls, ceilings, floors, windows, fixtures, and appliances shall be repaired or replaced. Painted surfaces shall be cleaned or repainted. Carpets shall be thoroughly steam cleaned or replaced; replacement is required if the carpet is torn, excessively worn, or permanently stained. Windows shall be cleaned inside and out. In the event that such work requires that the incoming pastor must make temporary living arrangements, related expenses will be paid by the receiving church. It is recommended that a photographic record of house and yard, including each room’s condition and contents, be created and filed for reference and planning purposes. 7. Treatment of Parsonage Value in Compensation Packages Wespath provides the following guidance: When a parsonage is provided, it will be valued at 35%, with a minimum floor of $10,000, of salary for benefit computation purposes. In a multi-church appointment, this factor is added to salary for all churches served by the pastor, regardless of which church owns the parsonage in which the clergy person lives. a. If a clergy couple is serving separate churches and each church/charge has a parsonage available, each clergyperson’s entire compensation will include a parsonage value equal of 35% of salary, with a minimum floor of $10,000, regardless of where the clergy couple lives. [Note: only the fair rental value of the occupied parsonage is reported by the clergy couple as part of selfemployment income] b. However, if a clergy couple is serving separate churches, and is living in a parsonage provided by one of the churches, with no parsonage offered or available from the other church, only the clergyperson serving the church which provides the parsonage will have the parsonage value added to salary. C. Housing Allowance All full-time clergy appointed to a full-time charge, or a Conference-responsible extension ministry shall be provided either a parsonage or a housing allowance. In the event that an appointment has already moved to providing a housing allowance for their pastor, and a parsonage is no longer available, the charge will negotiate an appropriate housing allowance with the incoming pastor. A housing allowance enjoyed by a pastor appointed to charge “A” will not necessarily translate into a housing allowance for that same pastor when s/he is appointed to charge “B.” Housing allowances shall exist in accordance with the following policy or successive policies as determined by future sessions of the Annual Conference: 8
208
CLERGY SUPPORT POLICIES 1. The housing allowance policy will be in effect from the time the charge moves from providing a physical parsonage to a housing allowance for the current pastor or an incoming pastor. Once the charge makes the transition to providing a housing allowance, that charge shall not be required to return to providing a physical parsonage. In the event that the charge wishes to do so, see item #4 below. 2. Charges that elect to provide a housing allowance shall do so at a charge/church conference chaired by the District Superintendent after and only after following the steps outlined in item #3 below. 3. A housing allowance agreement shall be drawn up by the local charge (the Staff/Parish Relations Committee and the Board of Trustees, in consultation with the District Superintendent, should be involved in this process as a joint effort). The agreement shall include the following: a. For the purchase of a home (house, condo, etc.) by the pastor: i.
Costs associated with a typical annual mortgage, based upon a 20% down payment and 30-year mortgage, for a home that meets the size requirements of the Conference Parsonage Standards, to cover at minimum: monthly principal and interest costs and mortgage insurance.
ii.
Costs associated with utility expenses (heat, light, phone, basic cable, internet service if not provided in a separate church office), property taxes for a home that meets the size requirements of the Conference Parsonage Standards. This information will be provided by a reputable realtor or rental agent so a dollar range for housing may be set for the incoming pastor as s/he considers the appointment and seeks housing.
iii.
The housing allowance will be at minimum the sum of items i and ii above.
EXAMPLE: i. Purchase price of home = $140,000; 20% down - $28,000; 30 year mortgage of $112,000 @ 4.75% is $585 x 12 = $7,020 annually property and school taxes of $4,000 homeowners insurance of $600 ii. Average monthly utility expenses of gas, electric, and bundled phone/internet/tv = $345 x 12 = $4,140 Minimum housing allowance in this example is $15,760 9
209
CLERGY SUPPORT POLICIES iv.
Charges providing a housing allowance may assist the pastor in obtaining a loan or provide a grant for down payment if needed. Any such agreement for down payment shall become a part of the housing allowance agreement.
v.
The housing allowance agreement shall be signed by the pastor, the chair of Trustees, and the chair of S/PPRC.
b. For the rental of a home (house, apartment, condo, etc.) by the pastor: The housing allowance shall be determined in accordance with item a. sub items i. through v. above. It should be noted that housing (either as an allowance or in physical form) shall be provided in accordance with parsonage standards. In the event that the appointed clergyperson chooses to spend less in a rental circumstance s/he shall be afforded the opportunity to save and invest the difference for the eventuality of providing housing for herself or himself in retirement. This provision provides for the near equivalent opportunity for the pastor to accumulate something akin to equity over the life of the housing allowance. By the same token, should the clergyperson choose to rent a home costlier than a home that meets the parsonage standards, the charge shall not be responsible for the additional costs associated with that choice. c. A charge may use the annual income and capital gain from the sale of a parsonage over the rate of inflation to help support the housing allowance. d. All current IRS regulations shall be met for both recording and reporting purposes. 4. A charge shall not be required to establish a parsonage after changing to a housing allowance. However, if a charge chooses to return to providing a parsonage, it shall do so only after: a. A full and frank discussion with the clergyperson, the S/PPRC, and the local Board of Trustees. b. An agreement dissolving the housing allowance agreement has been signed by the pastor, the chair of S/PPRC and the chair of the Board of Trustees. c. A proposal for the purchase of a new parsonage has been completed in full accordance with the United Methodist Book of Discipline. d. The proposed parsonage is in full compliance with current Conference Parsonage Standards.

CLERGY SUPPORT POLICIES D. Housing Exclusion Pastors may utilize the favorable tax advantages of a housing exclusion, which does not increase the compensation package but does lower the pastor’s federal income tax liability. 1. A Housing Allowance is money paid to the pastor for the purpose of housing in addition to base salary. A Housing Exclusion is the amount of a pastor’s base salary that he/she declares to be excluded from taxable income as housing related expenses. Housing is exempt from Federal Income taxes but is NOT exempt from self-employment tax. 2. A pastor living in a parsonage may have a Housing Exclusion; a pastor living in his/her own home may take advantage of a Housing Exclusion in addition to the Housing Allowance. This can be accomplished by passing a resolution designating an amount greater than the housing allowance listed on the compensation package. a. Section 107 of the IRC provides that: “In the case of a minister of the gospel, gross income does not include: 1) the rental value of a home furnished as part of compensation; or 2) the rental allowance paid as part of compensation, to the extent used to rent or provide a home and to the extent such allowance does not exceed the fair rental value of the home, including furnishings and appurtenances such as a garage, plus the cost of utilities.” i. A “minister of the gospel” is defined as any duly ordained, commissioned, or licensed minister of the church, who is performing substantially all of the religious duties of his/her church or denomination. The “fair rental value” is the annual amount for which a similar furnished home in a similar neighborhood could be rented, including utilities. This can be determined by formal or informal appraisal by a realtor, or by comparing actual rents advertised for similar homes in the community. 3.
Below are some further guidelines regarding a Housing Exclusion: a. The housing exclusion must be put in place by official church action before payment is made to the pastor-at the start of a new appointment or calendar year. b. The housing exclusion recognized for tax purposes is limited to the lesser of: i. The amount declared by the church. ii. The actual amount spent to provide housing. iii. The fair rental value as described above.
11
211
CLERGY SUPPORT POLICIES c. The housing exclusion may be paid in the same check as the pastor’s salary as long as it is identified on the stub accordingly. It may also be paid separately. d. Housing exclusion is not reported as part of gross income on the W-2. e. It is the pastor’s responsibility to account for the actual amount spent on housing expenses to the IRS (not the church) if requested.
4.
f.
If the total expenses are less than the allowance paid, the pastor must declare the excess as an addition to gross income.
g.
If the total expenses are more than the pre-defined exclusion, they do not qualify for the exclusion.
h.
The housing exclusion may be used by the pastor to pay for most nonpersonal type expenses incurred in providing or running a home (see list below).
The following items are examples of expenses paid by the pastor that may qualify as Housing Exclusion items, as applicable, and keeping in mind the limits above: a. Housing Expenses such as: down payment on a home, mortgage payments, home equity loan payments (if they are for home related expenses), real estate taxes, property/renters’ insurance, utilities. b. Repairs and Maintenance: Structural repairs, remodeling, yard maintenance and improvements, lawn equipment and repairs, pest control, trash pickup, snow removal, tools, cleaning supplies c. Furniture and Decorating Accessories: Appliances, TV/VCR, stereo, furniture, drapes, pictures, rugs, linens, lamps, etc.

IV. Accountable Reimbursement Plans
(Comm. On Equitable Compensation)
A. Policies and Budgeted Amounts 1. All pastors appointed within the Upper New York Annual Conference are eligible for an Accountable Reimbursement Plan (ARP) for professional expenses incurred while performing pastoral duties. 2. A minimum annual Accountable Reimbursement Plan (ARP) budget for a full-time pastor shall be $5,000 for a single church appointment and $6,000 for a multi- church appointment. 3. Within the Accountable Reimbursement Plan there shall be a designated amount for the pastor’s continuing education. If the amount is not fully used in the current fiscal year, a pastor may request to roll over the remainder of the ARP Continuing Education amount with an SPRC approved plan for the use of the funds. 1. This plan and specific amount is to be reported to the local church/charge conference at year’s end. No more than three successive years of funding or $2,000 (whichever is less) can be rolled over in this manner. This maximum dollar amount should relate to full-time clergy. The amount for part-time clergy shall be prorated. 2. In the event of a pastoral change the roll over amount will be a part of the appointment conversation among the pastor, the churches, and District Superintendent(s) involved. 4. Pastoral appointments of ¾ time, ½ time or ¼ time shall budget and pay an ARP proportionally to this standard for full-time appointments. 5. Congregations are encouraged to budget ARP above the required minimum in consideration of location-specific mileage needs and other factors. B. Accountable Reimbursement Plan Procedures An Accountable Reimbursement Plan (ARP) arrangement is established to reimburse business expenses and should satisfy three conditions: 1. The expense must have a connection to services performed for the church or other connected entity. 13
213
CLERGY SUPPORT POLICIES
2. There must be an adequate accounting of the expense within a reasonable period of time, i.e. date, place, amount/mileage, business purpose provided at least quarterly. 3. Any excess reimbursements or advances to the pastor must be returned to the church within a reasonable period of time, i.e. 120 days, and within 30 days for end of the year expenses. Reimbursements are not considered to be income for the pastor, but professional costs as an expense of the church. Therefore, ARP reimbursement is not included in income reporting to the IRS. The amount budgeted is reported to the Conference as a component of the compensation package but is not considered part of salary. A pastor’s salary may not be reduced to fund the Accountable Reimbursement Plan. To implement an ARP, there needs to be a written policy or resolution established annually in advance of payment and approved at Church/Charge Conference. Payment of funds may be done • as a reimbursement of qualified expense, • as payment direct to vendor, or • as an advance with subsequent documentation of expenses; or any combination of these methods. Pastors shall submit a voucher for reimbursement of professional expenses, providing receipts for expenditures and an accounting of mileage where applicable. The specific nature or names related to pastoral visitations shall not be disclosed. The church, in consultation with the pastor, may wish to designate certain items which it elects to have covered by this policy, such as travel, continuing education, books, subscriptions, work supplies, vestments, etc. There may be a cap or dollar amount on the total reimbursable business expenses that will be paid, for example: "The reimbursement amount shall be no more than ." The church may also want to require preapprovals by the treasurer or SPR/PPR chair of business expenses in excess of $ 500 (or any other amount deemed appropriate). The church may want to set a dollar amount for which receipts must be submitted such as purchases over $25.00. These additional requirements should be included in the policy. C. Qualified Expenses Pursuant to information provided by the General Council on Finance and Administration, an example of items that are reimbursable under an Accountable Reimbursement Plan includes: 1. 2. 3.
14
Trips to visit parishioners at hospitals, nursing homes, or the parishioner’s home Business-related meals and mileage Expenses related to meetings of a connectional nature (i.e. District events, conference-level meetings, etc. Expenses for Annual Conference sessions should be budgeted as a separate line item in the church budget for both clergy and lay members, not as part of the ARP.)

D. Sample Accountable Reimbursement Policy This is a sample of an accountable reimbursement policy. The specifics of each policy should be reviewed by each church and minister considering their specific concerns. If legal or tax advice is required, the services of a competent professional advisor should be sought. The following resolution is hereby adopted by the church council of XXXXXXXXX Church. It will be effective for the calendar year and all future years unless specifically revoked or superseded. The church pastor (or other employee(s)) will be reimbursed for ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred in the performance of his or her responsibilities when he/she substantiates the amount, business purpose, date, and place of the expense. Confidentiality shall be maintained in the substantiation of pastoral visits and/or counseling. This substantiation must be provided to the chair of the pastor parish relations committee (or church treasurer) within ninety (90) days of incurring the expense. The individual must return to the church any amounts received in excess of the substantiated expenses within one hundred twenty (120) days of receipt. The church will not report any properly substantiated reimbursement payments as income on any Form W-2. Chair, Church Council

CLERGY SUPPORT POLICIES V. Benefits
(Conf. Bd. Of Pension & Health Benefits)
A. Retirement 1. Clergy All licensed, commissioned, or ordained pastors under appointment to a United Methodist Church 75% or more are eligible to participate in the Compass Plan. All licensed, commissioned, or ordained pastors under appointment to a United Methodist Church at 50% are eligible to participate in the United Methodist Personal Investment Church Plan (UMPIP Church) with the church making contributions. The eligible clergyperson will be enrolled unless a Waiver of Participation, notarized and filed on the prescribed form, is received in the Benefits Office. The charge shall pay the monthly Compass or UMPIP Church Invoice as applicable. Clergy on Incapacity Leave and Sabbatical Leave continue to accrue credit toward the Compass Plan, paid by the Annual Conference. Clergy on other forms of leave, appointed to attend school, or appointed to an extension ministry outside the responsibility of the Annual Conference do not accrue “years of service” toward this benefit. 2.
Lay Employees The Book of Discipline, Para. 258.2g (12) states that the PPRC shall recommend 100% vested pension benefits of at least 3% of compensation for lay employees who work at least 1040 hours per year. The United Methodist Personal Investment Plan (UMPIP) is available to local churches for this purpose, or they may utilize other options.
B. Death and Disability The Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) provides death, long-term disability, and other survivor benefits to eligible clergy. All full-time clergy plus elders, associate or provisional members serving 75% appointed to a United Methodist Church are enrolled. A clergyperson’s District Superintendent must be notified when applying for long term disability benefits and/or seeking Medical Leave status. Until and unless Medical Leave status is granted, the church to which the clergyperson is appointed remains responsible for salary and benefit costs for the pastor. 1. Short Term Disability-Workers Comp-Paid Family Leave The Conference carries statutory coverage for short term disability, workers compensation and paid family leave on all clergy appointed to local churches as
16
216
well as lay employees of the church through the multi-peril insurance program. Premiums for this benefit are included in the church insurance invoice. Unless in retired status, while on short term leave, the church remains responsible for all salary and benefit costs associated with the pastor. If a pastor is serving in retired status and becomes disabled, salary and benefit costs will be negotiated by the District Superintendent. C. Health Insurance 1. Active Clergy All full-time clergy appointed to a local church or as Conference staff are eligible for health insurance and eligible to enroll in the Conference-sponsored health insurance plan. Regardless of enrollment, all charges that have a full-time pastor will be billed the blended rate premium. This premium may be split between churches served by the full-time pastor. Clergy enrolled and receiving a benefit are required to pay a Pastor’s Personal HealthFlex Contribution of any election amounts over and above the premium credit in 2026. The amount of the Pastor’s Personal HealthFlex Contribution is controlled by the pastor’s elections in the HealthFlex Exchange. Clergy are encouraged to elect a pre-tax medical account (HSA and/or FSA) to be deducted from their salary. Medical accounts are administered through Health Equity. Churches with clergy serving less than full-time should include in their salary support packages a “health insurance allowance” in an amount that relates to the blended rate to enable the clergyperson to obtain health insurance or fund a Health Savings Account. This amount must be added to taxable salary. Clergy and/or spouses over age 65, and enrolled in the conference Via benefits Medicare secondary plan(s), have to pay for Medicare Part B out of pocket. 2. Lay Employees Full-time lay employees are also eligible to enroll in the health insurance program. The premium billed is based on coverage level, i.e. single, two person or family and the elections chosen in the HealthFlex Exchange. The HealthFlex Plan options, and medical accounts, are the same as for a clergyperson. 3. Retired Clergy and Surviving Spouses The Upper New York Conference continues to support part of the cost of providing health insurance to retired clergy through the use of invested funds. The remaining financial support for the cost of retiree health care is billed to all of the local 17
217
churches in the conference on a proportional basis.

Retirees under age 65: Conference will pay 3% of actual premium credit based on Full-time equivalent years of service up to 30 years. Elections over the premium credit amount is the responsibility of the retiree plus, an additional amount of 5% of premium for each year under age 65, (up to a max 15%). xxii. Retiree Health Insurance years of service include all full-time UMC church appointments or conference staff; adjusted for part-time. xxiii. Conference lay employee retirees have the same 5-year eligibility requirement and pay on the same basis as Clergy retirees. xiv. Spouses and Surviving Spouses (clergy and lay employees) receive the same amount of the HRA (over 65) or pay premiums (under 65) as their eligible spouse. xxv. New spouses of retired participants pay 100% of their premium when under age 65 and receive no HRA when over age 65. xxvi. Premiums for legally dependent adult children determined by CBOPHB.

xxvii. Churches with clergy serving part-time should include in their salary support packages a "health Insurance allowance" in an amount that relates to the blended rate to enable the clergy person to obtain health insurance or fund a Health Savings Account. The amount must be added to taxable salary. VI. Other Considerations
(Conf. Bd. Of Pension & Health Benefits)
Pastors are strongly encouraged to participate in the Social Security system. Wespath and the Conference Board of Pension & Health Benefits have structured retirement, disability, and health benefit programs around the Social Security system. No grants will be provided by the conference to persons who have opted out of Social Security for the purpose of supplementing income or health benefits.
VII. Paid Time Off Policy
(Comm. On Equitable Compensation)
A. All clergy are eligible for two days off per week for personal time, family time and spiritual renewal; one of which would be a Sabbath day. B. All clergy under episcopal appointment are entitled to 4 weeks of vacation each year with 5 weeks for those with more than 20 years of full-time equivalent service. The number of Sundays off will correspond at least one-to-one with the number of weeks of vacation. C. As per ¶ 351.1 & 351.2, full-time clergy shall have at least 1 week per year of Continuing Education/Spiritual Growth Leave with the Conference providing up to one more additional week for a total of up to 2 weeks. Furthermore, once every quadrennial period (every four years) there should be one year where an additional month of Continuing Education/Spiritual Growth is undertaken. D. Full-time pastors are encouraged to give a week annually to a Conference camping ministry. E. There will be no prescribed sick leave for clergy. Short and long-term disability, and paid family leave, will be provided as needed. F. Vacation and paid time off for supply pastors and district hires are to be individually negotiated in consultation with the SPRC, pastor and District Superintendent, at the initial appointment and subsequently as needed. G. Associate, provisional, or members in full connection may request family leave through the Board of Ordained Ministry per ¶354.2b.
20
H. Maternity or Paternity leave, not to exceed one fourth of a year, will be available and shall be granted to any local pastor, provisional member, associate member, or clergy member in full connection who so requests it per ¶356.

VIII. CLERGY MOVING POLICY
(UNY Cabinet)
Clergy Appointment Moves: If a clergy appointment move (of any distance) is paid for by the Conference, a 1099-MISC reflecting the actual cost of the move will be sent to you at year end. Under the federal tax law, the cost of a move paid on your behalf is taxable income which must be reported. The expense is non-deductible. ** Please remember Wespath no longer recognizes moving costs as compensation in relation to benefits, and churches will no longer receive one time inceases to CPP or Compass related to these costs. INTRODUCTION The Conference Moving Coordinator and Regional Moving Coordinators will be responsible for scheduling moves and securing professional movers to relocate pastors when an appointment change is made for full-time appointments, less than full time appointments where the pastor will live in a parsonage, or pastors retiring from a local church. These Moving Coordinators will function under the guidance of the Commission on Equitable Compensation. "Self-Moves" are not encouraged. However, in special circumstances, after consultation with the Pastor, S/PPRC, and District Superintendent(s), the pastor may elect to move via truck rental. Self-Move arrangements must be coordinated through the appropriate Moving Coordinator. FINANCING THE MOVE With the exception of retirement moves, covered later in this document, funding for this program will be accomplished through a cost-sharing arrangement between the Conference and the local church/charge receiving a new appointment. This arrangement will cap the total moving expenses incurred by a receiving local church/charge at $2250. It will also allow this expense to be spread out over the course of five years through a conference-managed accrual system. Further, because the total number of contributing local churches/charges in a given year is greater than the number of local churches/charges receiving a new appointment, the program is intended to be self-sustaining (see Table #1).

Total UNY Church Contributions/year (i.e. >500 churches x $450/year)
G.
$225,000
Program specifics: H. Every year for five (5) consecutive years each local church/charge will remit $450 to the Conference Treasurer to be held in escrow in a moving account to cover the local church/charge's portion of the moving expense. This process will restart after a new appointment. I. Once a local church/charge has accrued a total of $2250 in this account, its moving account will be considered paid in full. When a new appointment is made, the incoming pastor's moving expenses will be covered by the funds in the receiving local church/charge moving account along with any needed additional funds supplied by the Conference. J. In the event a local church/charge experiences a change of appointment prior to having accrued $2250 in its conference-held moving account, the move will still be funded under this program. In this case the amount accrued in the receiving local church/charge moving account will be expended and the receiving local church/charge will then be expected to remit $450/year beginning in the calendar year following the move, until the $2250 moving account total has been reached. For a professional move within the Conference boundaries, the Mover engaged by the Conference will submit an invoice directly to the Benefits Administrator for payment by the Conference Treasurer. The Conference Treasurer will pay the Mover's total fee. If any additional or special charges are involved, the Conference Treasurer will request payment from the pastor to the Conference. For a self-move, the pastor must pay the bill up-front and then submit receipts to the Benefits Administrator for reimbursement by the Conference Treasurer. NOTE: Federal law requires that all moving expenses paid by the Conference for or to a pastor are considered compensation. The amount paid will be reported to the pastor and the Internal Revenue Service at the end of the tax year in which the payment is made. NOTE: If a local church does not pay into the moving fund or is behind in payments, and they receive a new pastor, the FULL COST of the move will be the responsibility of the local church unless the moving fund balance is paid in full. PASTORAL MOVES A. Clergy Moves: The Conference will pay the full cost of a pastor's move up to 16,000 pounds. The pastor(s) will be responsible for the cost of moving weight that exceeds those limits. The Conference will provide $250 for boxes and packing materials which may be provided by the mover or purchased by the pastor. The pastor is responsible for packing, except for those items the carrier is required to pack under insurance regulations (i.e. mirrors, mattresses, marble tops, etc.). 22
222
B. Clergy Couples: The Conference will pay the full cost up to 20,000 pounds and provide $350 for boxes and packing materials. C. Seminarians and Local Pastors entering their first appointment: The provisions in #1 apply, even if the seminarian is moving from outside the conference. D. Pastors moving from outside the geographical boundaries of the Conference: The Conference will pay for up to $4,500 or 16,000 pounds, whichever is less. The pastor will be responsible for charges in excess of these amounts. E. The Moving Coordinator must be notified in advance (two weeks minimum) of the need to change a scheduled moving date. If a move is cancelled, in absence of a crisis, the pastor (not the church) will be responsible for any cancellation fees incurred from the moving company. F. Pastors returning from Sabbatical Leave, Leave of Absence, Retirement, Extension Ministries, Medical Leave, or Honorable Location: The Cabinet will be empowered to negotiate the amount of reimbursement for the cost of the move. G. Surviving Spouses: The Conference will pay up to $4,500 for billed expenses for moving surviving spouses and/or immediate families when requiring them to vacate a parsonage. Each situation must involve consultation with the affected spouse and immediate family, the Cabinet, and the appropriate Moving Coordinator. H. Displaced Spouses: The Conference will pay up to $3,000 for billed expenses for moving spouses and immediate families displaced due to divorce or other legal action when requiring them to vacate a parsonage. Each situation must involve consultation with the affected spouse and immediate family, the Cabinet, and the appropriate Moving Coordinator. I. Moving out of the Conference: The Conference will not be responsible for the cost of moving an active pastor to an appointment or ministry outside the geographic bounds of the Conference.
III. RETIREMENT MOVES
(Conf. Bd. of Pension & Health Benefits)
A. The Conference Board of Pension & Health Benefits will share the cost for one retirement move for clergy members – full-time or part-time -- who are retiring from a local church appointment or conference staff appointment. The retirement move shall occur one year prior to retirement or up to two years after retirement. Any variation from the schedule must be recommended by the District Superintendent and approved by the Conference Board. For each full-time equivalent (FTE) year of service in The United Methodist Church, the following amount will be paid toward the retirement move: $100.00 per FTE year of service up to $3,000 23
223
B.
The Conference will provide $250 for boxes and packing materials which may be provided by the mover or purchased by the pastor.
Effective January 1, 2026, all retiree moves within the bounds of the annual conference may use the moving coordinator or the retiree may coordinate their own move and submit receipts for the reimbursement. Retirees coordinating their own move must vacate a parsonage by June 15th of that year, unless granted an exception by the moving coordinator, and reimbursement will only be dispensed for receipts from an insured and/or incorporated moving company. Any retiree choosing to move outside the bounds of the annual conference are required to make their own arrangements, vacate the parsonage by June15th of that year and will need to submit receipts for reimbursement. Moves outside the annual conference will only be reimbursed with a receipt from an insured and/or incorporated moving company. C. The retiree is responsible for packing, except for those items the carrier is required to pack under insurance regulations (i.e. mirrors, mattresses, marble tops, etc.). The Conference will provide $250 for boxes and packing materials which may be provided by the mover or purchased by the pastor. D. If the move costs less than the eligible grant amount, the balance is not payable to the retiree. E. For any funds paid by the Conference for a retirement move (of any distance), a 1099-MISC reflecting the amount paid by the conference will be sent to you at year end. Under tax law, the cost of a move paid on your behalf is taxable income which must be reported, and the expense is non–deductible.
XI. Pastor’s Compensation Arrearage Policy
(Comm. on Equitable Compensation)
A. In the event that the local church treasurer becomes aware that the church will be unable to provide to the pastor full payment of a regularly scheduled payroll, accountable reimbursements or housing allowance installment, or to remit full payment for any items deducted or withheld from a pastor’s base compensation, the church treasurer shall immediately notify both verbally (within 24 hours) and in writing (within 3 days) the pastor, the lay leader, the lay member of annual conference and the chairs of S/PPRC, finance, trustees and the administrative/church council of the impending arrearage. Upon receipt of such notice, the chair of S/PPRC and/or the pastor shall immediately (within three days) notify the district superintendent of the impending arrearage. It is the pastor's responsibility to keep copies of all such written notifications, and to provide additional written confirmation to the district superintendent when an arrearage has taken place. Failure to document salary-related arrearages may result in a loss of compensation. 24
224
B. Upon receipt of notice of a pending arrearage, the chair of S/PPRC shall immediately (within 72 hours) schedule and hold a meeting of the pastor, lay leader and chairs of finance, trustees and the administrative/church council to discuss the financial situation and seek remedies to prevent an arrearage from occurring. Such remedies might include: • Drawing from invested funds • An emergency appeal for special giving from the congregation. According to the Book of Discipline Para. 623, such remedies cannot include a reduction in the pastor’s compensation until the beginning of the next conference year. C. If, after consultation among the lay leader, pastor, and chairs of S/PPRC, finance, trustees and the administrative/church council, it becomes apparent that the church may be facing a long-term financial crisis, the chair of S/PPRC shall notify in writing the pastor and district superintendent that: • An Equitable Compensation Subsidy Grant may be necessary to maintain compensation for the remainder of the conference year and/or, • A change in pastoral compensation or appointment may be necessary. D. If the local church becomes delinquent in the pastor’s compensation (i.e. more than 30 days delinquent), then the district superintendent shall notify the Commission on Equitable Compensation, which on its own initiative may do any or all of the following, but not limited to: • Sending a representative from CEC to meet with the local church and pastor to seek resolution of the issue; • Developing with the local church a payment plan so that the pastor receives full payment of compensation by the end of the conference year. The district superintendent shall be a participant in this process. E. If the local church is already receiving a subsidy grant from the CEC, the CEC may also: • Determine if all subsidy grant funds allocated to the church were used to pay the pastor's salary. • Examine the original subsidy grant application to determine if the amount requested to meet minimum compensation was reduced • Require an outside audit of all church funds in compliance with GCFA guidelines (www.gcfa.org). • Notify the district superintendent of its findings and recommendations in writing. F. Paragraph 2543 of the Discipline makes clear that no real property on which a church building, or parsonage, is located shall be mortgaged to pay for the current or budgeted expenses of a local church (including arrearages), nor shall the principal proceeds of a sale of any such property be so used. This provision shall apply alike to unincorporated and incorporated local churches. G. Regardless of any assistance received from the Annual Conference, it remains the 25
225
responsibility of the local church to provide minimum compensation for its appointed clergy (Para. 624). H. It is the responsibility of the pastor to provide evidence of an arrearage by providing documentation to the District Superintendent, Commission on Equitable Compensation and any other conference agency. This evidence should include treasurer's reports, charge conference reports of adopted salary and compensation, check stubs, W-2 forms, and any other pertinent documents. I.
The limitations for filing a claim for funds from the annual conference (i.e. notification to the district superintendent of the arrearage) for any salary arrearage is one year from the date of the initial arrearage. Once an appointment ends, the pastor no longer has claim on the local church for compensation funds (Para. 342.4).
J. The district superintendent shall provide a report of the matter and actions taken which will be placed in the permanent files of the church and the pastor.

*The Council on Finance and Administration (CF&A) is presenting the 2026 budget for approval.
103
This budget represents an overall reduction of $300,000 from the 2025 approved budget and a $1,800,000 reduction
104
compared to the 2023 budget. This reduction was done to account for closed and disaffiliated churches and the
105
revenue lost from those churches. CF&A has also work diligently to find alternative funding sources to help sustain the
106
budget. CF&A has accounted for fund income use in ministry areas along with general fund interest ($400,00) to
107
also help cover some of the costs related to the 2026 budget.

Upper New York Conference (374) 2026 Comprehensive Benefit Funding Plan This funding plan incorporates, to the best of our understanding, the plan sponsor’s obligations and funding of the benefits provided to clergy and laity, as noted below. It is understood by the signees that defined benefit plan liabilities [Pre-82 Plan, Ministerial Pension Plan (MPP) and Clergy Retirement Security Program Defined Benefit (CRSP DB) and other sponsored defined benefit plans] continue until the last benefit is paid to participants and their surviving spouses irrespective of the funding level of the plan. That is, even if the assets in the plan are larger than the liabilities in the plan, the plan sponsor still has a liability (obligation) and potential future contribution due to the plan.

Upper New York Conference (374) 2026 Comprehensive Benefit Funding Plan Pre-82 Plan (Pre-82) Plan Overview: Supplement One to the Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP), also known as the Pre-82 Plan, provides clergy with a pension benefit for their years of ministry with The United Methodist Church prior to 1982. The Pre-82 Plan was replaced by MPP effective January 1, 1982. If a clergyperson retires within the conference (and does not terminate), the minimum benefit payable is based on two factors: 1) Years of service with pension credit--approved by each conference on the recommendation of the Conference Board of Pensions (CBOP) in accordance with plan provisions and The Book of Discipline. 2) The conference pension rate (past service rate)--the dollar amount chosen by the conference as the amount payable for each approved year of service with pension credit (may change from year to year). The number of years of service with pension credit is multiplied by the PSR, and the product is the minimum annual benefit payable to those clergy eligible for Pre-82 Plan benefits. In certain situations, the benefit received from the Pre-82 plan may vary based on the applicability of what is referred to as Defined Benefit Service Money (DBSM), which is the defined contribution feature of the Pre-1982 Plan. At the time that a participant retires, the DBSM account is converted to a life-based benefit. At that point, the clergy’s benefit is the greater of the PSR benefit or DBSM benefit. If the conference increases the PSR, the clergy’s benefit is recalculated; however the DBSM-based benefit does not change. Elections and Estimates Final Past Service Rate (PSR)

Upper New York Conference (374) 2026 Comprehensive Benefit Funding Plan Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) Plan Overview: The Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) provides death, long-term disability and other welfare benefits for eligible clergy of The United Methodist Church and their families. It is an Internal Revenue Code 414(e) “church plan” funded by plan sponsor insurance premiums. Generally, clergy are eligible to participate in CPP if they satisfy the eligibility requirements, including full-time appointment with plan compensation of at least 25% of the Denominational Average Compensation (DAC). Plan sponsors may elect to cover participants with three-quarter time appointments and/or to continue to cover clergy who, due to certain leaves or appointments, are not otherwise eligible to continue coverage. The CPP adoption agreement executed by the UPPER NEW YORK contains its elections to cover or not to cover categories mentioned above.

Book of Discipline ¶: N/A Book of Resolutions ¶: N/A Conference Committee/Agency that would be affected by/responsible for implementation if passed: Camp & Retreat Ministries Financial Implications: None to Conference Budget Whereas Camp & Retreat Ministries are a vital part of the mission and ministry of the Upper New York Conference. Unfortunately, they are often a hidden partner for the ministry of the local church. While some are aware of the opportunities of both summer camp and retreat possibilities, many are no longer connected to this good work. Creating a Camp & Retreat Ministries Sunday will provide an opportunity to highlight the ministry of our Camp & Retreat Centers as well as raise funds for this ongoing work. Whereas Camp & Retreat Ministry has the capacity to enhance the ministry of local congregations as a partner in the journey of transforming the world as we nurture passionate disciples of Jesus Christ who share faith, mercy, and justice in their everyday lives. Whereas our Camp & Retreat Ministries have been faithfully working to offer impactful opportunities through retreats and summer camp programs that benefit the people of our local churches and communities. Whereas the operations of the Camp & Retreat Ministries sites has grown as they experience the impact of inflation and other economic facts that have caused significant increase in cost of food and other essential materials. Whereas there is an opportunity to provide a way for local congregations to become aware of the ways in which they can help young persons attend camp that are unable due to financial circumstances. Therefore be it resolved that the second Sunday in February shall be Camp & Retreat Sunday in UNY for the purpose of increased awareness of the ministry and the collection of an offering that shall be remitted to the already established advanced special Be it further resolved the years when Native American Sunday takes place on the first Sunday of May, Camp & Retreat Sunday will be on the last Sunday of April.

Whereas the vision of the Upper New York Conference of the United Methodist Church (UNY) has guided our work in serving our leaders, congregation, and communities since before the COVID-19 pandemic. Whereas UNY faces dynamic changes in denominational, structural, societal, cultural, and financial landscapes that require thoughtful adaptation and proactive leadership; and Whereas it is vital to ensure that UNY remains aligned with its mission and purpose while meeting the evolving needs in our context of ministry; and Whereas in this new season of ministry as United Methodists, God is calling us to embrace a faith that unleashes God’s boundless creative and transforming power, made known through Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Be resolved this annual conference session empowers the UNY Conference Leadership Team (CLT) to initiate and oversee a Strategic Visioning and Planning Process, that builds on the missional clarity gained over the past 2 ½ years as outlined in the UNY Missional Playbook, to discern and articulate a clear, forward-looking roadmap for the Upper New York Conference; and Be further resolved that the Strategic Visioning and Planning Process will: 1. Secure input from clergy, laity, elected conference leaders, staff, ministry partners, community members, and other key stakeholders. 2. Assess the current strengths, opportunities, aspirations, and desired results (SOAR) for the Upper New York Conference. 3. Explore and identify opportunities for collaboration that enable amplified impact and good stewardship with our missional partner, the Susquehanna Conference. 4. Recommend the 2026 Annual Conference session with a Ministry Action Plan that includes, but is not limited to, the following elements: a) Vision statement b) Core values c) Cultural shifts needed d) Structural adaptations needed e) Missional strategic direction with appropriate goals, objectives, and actionable strategies for the next 3-5 years. 5. Ensure alignment with the mission, vision, doctrine, and polity of The United Methodist Church. Be further resolved that the resident bishop, in consultation with the CLT, will designate a task force to guide the Strategic Visioning and Planning Process, facilitate regular updates to the conference, and ensure the process is inclusive, transparent, and participatory. This task force will be amenable to the CLT. Be further resolved that the UNY Annual Conference commits to engage in a season of prayer over the summer to open our hearts to the guidance of the Holy Spirit as we discern how God wants us to go forward.

Book of Discipline ¶: Social Principles: The Political Community; Government Responsibilities; G. Migrants, Immigrants and Refugees - The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church 2020/2024 Book of Resolutions ¶: “Welcoming the Migrant to the U.S.” section (4271) Conference Committee/Agency that would be affected by/responsible for implementation if passed: Social Holiness, Commission of Race & Religion, and the Immigration Task Force Financial Implications: none for the Annual Conference Brief Rationale: Demonizing people based on the country of origin and status in the United States is a sin. United Methodists stand with those affected by “globalization, dislocation, economic scarcity, persecution, climate change, and other reasons” (The United Methodist Book of Resolutions 2020/2024, 4271). But we do more than stand with these individuals, we serve them and advocate for them as each are beloved children of God. Whereas on January 20, 2025, the Trump Administration rescinded a policy that protected “safe spaces”—churches, school, and hospitals—from immigration enforcement, replacing it with an unreleased directive that gives Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents unbridled power to take enforcement actions in any of these spaces. Whereas protecting sensitive locations from immigration enforcement is essential to ensuring all our community members can access basic services and support without fear—the policy’s rescission constitutes an attack on immigrant communities’ wellbeing and undermines safety for all. Whereas scripture clearly admonishes us to welcome the stranger: Exodus 23:9: Don’t mistreat foreigners. (CEV) Leviticus 19:34: Any immigrant who lives with you must be treated as if they were one of your citizens. You must love them as yourself… (CEB) Deuteronomy 27:19: Cursed is anyone who obstructs the legal rights of immigrants, orphans, or widows. (CEB) Hebrews 13:2: Be sure to welcome strangers into your home. By doing this, some people have welcomed angels as guests, without even knowing it. (CEV) Whereas Jesus says in Matthew 25:43 and 45 (CEB) that welcoming strangers is the same as welcoming Christ himself: 43 I was a stranger and you didn’t welcome me. I was naked and you didn’t give me clothes to wear. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’ 45 Then he will answer, ‘I assure you that when you haven’t done it for one of the least of these, you haven’t done it for me.’ Therefore be it resolved that the Upper New York Annual Conference call upon all its congregations to study the issues, learn their rights in dealing with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, and make a concerted effort to support immigrants in their communities.1 Be it further resolved that the website and electronic communications of the Upper New York Annual Conference clearly state our support of the lawsuits brought against Homeland Security and the Trump Administration2 by multiple faith traditions to reverse these abhorrent policies that are designed to frighten and shame immigrants.

UNYAC2025.2: Designation of a “Historic Site” from the GCAH to the Harkness UMC to honor Dr. Georgia Harkness Recommendation 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49
Book of Discipline ¶: 1712.a Book of Resolutions ¶: N/A Conference Committee/Agency that would be affected by/responsible for implementation if passed: UNY Commission on Archives and History Financial Implications: $75 for the marker for Harkness UMC Brief Rationale: The Upper New York Commission of Archives and History would like to honor Dr. Georgia Harkness’s “home Church” in Harkness, New York with the designation as a United Methodist “Historic Site.” Whereas Georgia Elma Harkness was born April 21, 1891 in Harkness, NY in the hamlet named for her grandfather. Her parents were J. Warren and Lillie (Merrill) Harkness. Whereas Georgia was educated in Harkness, NY and attended church there as well. She passed all her Regents exams at age 14 and stayed in school two more years to mature. That same year she joined in membership with the Methodist Episcopal Church. She always considered the Harkness UMC to be her “home church,” no matter where she lived. She returned nearly every summer to worship in “her church” and gave sermons there as well in her later years. At General Conferences, she even sat with the former Troy Conference delegates, despite her living out of state. Whereas “her church” was the center of her and her family’s world in her early days. The building itself was originally built in West Peru, NY in 1852. In 1907, this church was dismantled and moved to its present location. Whereas she won a scholarship to Cornell University in 1908 and earned a teaching degree in 1912. She went on to teach high school Latin, German, and French at the Schuylerville and Scotia, New York schools. Whereas in 1917, Boston University opened a School of Religious Education and Social Service where she earned her Ph.D. Her dissertation is what launched her onto the academic stage where she worked as both a scholar and an intellectual for the Church. She taught at Elmira College for the next 15 years, which was devoted to women’s education. As a noted intellectual of the Church, she started traveling the world. Whereas in1924, she wrote an article entitled “The Ministry as a Vocation for Women.” It was in 1926 that Georgia was ordained as a Local Deacon in the Methodist Episcopal Church and 12 years later she became a Local Elder. She argued that the Church needed the skills and talents of educated women. She remained a strong advocate for women’s ordination, and she pressed the issue at worldwide ecumenical venues. It wasn’t until 1956 that a resolution granting Full Clergy Rights for Women of the Methodist Episcopal denomination was passed by the General Conference. She lobbied and strategized vigorously for this to happen. She served as a delegate to the General Conference six times. Whereas in July 1937, she participated in conversations at the Oxford Conference, which laid the groundwork for the World Council of Churches in which she was very active. She was one of the first women to attend such a conference. This is where she represented the Methodist Episcopal Church in the world arena. She was the Methodist Delegate to the Faith and Order Conference of the World Council of Churches. She visited many people and places of the world. At one point she traveled to India where she met with Mahatma Gandhi. Only a few months before World War II started in 1939, she attended the Geneva Convention where church leaders

gathered to discuss how to prevent the Second World War. Whereas in 1939, Georgia joined the faculty of Mt. Holyoke College and taught there for ten years. She then moved on to Garrett Biblical Institute. It was here that she became the first female FULL Professor of Theology at a Protestant seminary in the United States. She also taught at the International Christian University of Japan and Union Theological Seminary in the Philippines. Whereas in 1950 she joined the faculty of Pacific School of Religion and taught there until 1961. She became the first female member of the American Theological Society. She gave inspiration to many famous religious leaders of her time, including the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. She was a champion of social justice and Women’s Rights. Whereas in 1954, she penned the award-winning hymn, “Hope of the World.” Whereas today the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry awards a scholarship for women in Georgia’s name. This is designated for women choosing to prepare for ordained ministry as a second career. Whereas she became a denouncer of racism and unbridled capitalism, a defender of Women’s Rights, as well as a promoter of women’s ordination. Her witness of faith has left its mark on Methodism and the world. She wrote 38 books professing faith and dedicated her life to teaching. She wrote hundreds of articles, poems and prayers as well as nine hymns. She also received numerous academic awards. Whereas on August 21, 1974, Georgia Elma Harness died, in Claremont, California. Whereas on August 14, 2010, the Troy Conference/UNY Commission on Archives and History held a service and placed a Clergy Grave marker on the grave of Dr. Georgia Harkness in the Harkness Cemetery. Whereas the Anderson Falls Heritage Society erected a Pomeroy Foundation roadside historical marker in front of the church in her honor in 2018. Therefore be it resolved with all the accomplishments and legacy Georgia Harkness has provided throughout The United Methodist Church, it is with great honor that the UNY Commission on Archives and History recommend that her “home church,” Harkness UMC, be given the designation of “Historic Site” by the General Commission on Archives and History. Be it further resolved the Upper New York Annual Conference will approve the request to make the Harkness UMC a designated “Historic Site” of The United Methodist Church. Be it further resolved the application for the designation as a “Historic Site” will then be forwarded to the General Commission on Archives and History for their approval. Be it further resolved a plaque with this designation will be placed on the outside of the church and a service of dedication of the plaque will follow.

UNYAC2025.4 Identifying and Opposing Apartheid in the Holy Land Book of Discipline ¶: None Book of Resolutions ¶: None Conference Committee/Agency that would be affected by/responsible for implementation if passed: Annual Conference Secretary and the UNY Task Force on Peace With Justice in Palestine/Israel Financial Implications: None Brief Rationale: It is critical to understand what apartheid is and know what we as Christians and UMs have declared about it and then test that against the actions of the Israeli government and then take action to do something about it. Whereas in most of the region between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, Israel is the sole governing power, and, in the remainder, Israel maintains primary control over Palestinians’ lives, and Whereas Israeli authorities have demonstrated a clear intent to maintain domination over Palestinians by enacting a system of laws and policies that grant full self-determination exclusively to Jewish Israelis and enforce systematic oppression of Palestinians, which is the essence of an apartheid system, and Whereas “apartheid” is not defined by the conditions that existed in South Africa, but by the United Nations Convention on Apartheid of 1973 and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court of 1993, (1) and Whereas apartheid is named as a “crime against humanity” under international law (2) and the primary features of apartheid include: •
codifying into law a preferred group of people and giving that group preferential access to resources, benefits and services,
•
segregating the population into geographic areas based on identity, and establishing laws and policies designed to suppress opposition to the regime and enforcing domination through arbitrary imprisonment, torture, cruel and inhumane treatment, and other violations of human rights, and
Whereas within Israel and in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) that is the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Gaza, the Israeli government has established its control over the lives of Palestinians with discriminatory laws and policies specifying where they can live, whom they can marry, where and when they can travel short distances, which roads they can drive on, how much water they can use, when they can access their own farms, what land they can purchase, which justice system they are subject to, whether they will receive due process, and the kinds of punishment they will receive, and Whereas Israel has seized more than three-quarters of the land of its Palestinian citizens and continues their dispossession today, and Palestinians in the OPT have lived under Israeli military law for generations without any protected civil rights, and Whereas Israel has blatantly codified a racist governing principle in the Nation State Basic Law of 2018, which grants self-determination exclusively to the Jewish citizens of Israel, and Whereas many authoritative scholars and organizations have conducted in-depth investigations and issued reports regarding Israeli apartheid, including: •
In 2009, a thoroughly documented, 302-page report on the OPT by an international group of legal scholars, commissioned by the South African government,

•
Whereas these commissions, legal scholars, and human rights organizations have all come to the same unavoidable conclusion: that the Israeli government is committing the crime against humanity known as apartheid, and Whereas, if apartheid is to be opposed and abolished, it is essential for the international community to recognize and name apartheid where it exists, and Whereas Kairos Palestine, the Palestinian Christian movement endorsed by all the major Christian denominations in Palestine, in their “Cry for Hope” of 2020 has called upon the Church around the world to nonviolently oppose both “apartheid and occupation” in the Holy Land and to “uphold a vision of inclusivity and equality for all peoples of the land,” (4) and Whereas the Social Principles of The United Methodist Church state that United Methodists “commend and encourage the self-awareness of all racial and ethnic groups and oppressed people that leads them to demand their just and equal rights as members of society,” and furthermore “call the Church to challenge any hierarchy of cultures or identities,”(5) and Whereas The United Methodist Church has forcefully declared its opposition to the crime of apartheid, calling it a “heresy” and “a sin” that must be “condemned unequivocally – within Southern Africa and neighboring countries and throughout the world.” (6) Therefore be it resolved that the Upper New York Conference of The United Methodist Church affirms that apartheid is antithetical to the Gospel message and that we recognize and oppose Israeli apartheid as we strive to resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves, and Be it further resolved that the conference calls on the U.S. government to condition U.S. funding to Israel upon Israel’s willingness to dismantle its apartheid system and implement all the rights due to Palestinians under international law, and Be it further resolved that the conference urges all United Methodist clergy and laity to listen to the voices of Palestinians regarding their situation, by meeting with them in their homeland, by seeking opportunities to hear from them at online events, and through the study of the Palestinian Christians’ landmark 2020 document entitled “Cry for Hope: A Call for Decisive Action.” Be it further resolved that the Conference Secretary send a letter to the President of the United States and the Secretary of State asking them to condition U.S. Funding to the State of Israel upon Israel’s willingness to dismantle its apartheid system, and

UNYAC2025.3 Sound Level at Annual Conference 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37
Book of Discipline ¶: 162 Book of Resolutions ¶: N/A Conference Committee/Agency that would be affected by/responsible for implementation if passed: Conference Sessions Financial Implications: None Brief Rationale: In recent years, the sound level at Annual Conference has been painfully loud. Sounds at or below 80 A-weighted decibels (dBA) are unlikely to cause hearing damage if listened to for up to 40 hours per week. Sounds at 85 dBA can lead to hearing loss of listened to for more than eight hours at a time. Exposure to loud sounds for a very short period of time can damage hearing. According to the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) “when sound levels exceed 85 dBA, employers must take steps to protect workers’ hearing, including providing hearing protection and monitoring noise levels.” Hearing loss due to loud sounds is insidious as the loss is cumulative over time. People don’t realize that it is happening at the time of exposure.

Book of Discipline ¶: 33, 602.4 Book of Resolutions ¶: N/A Conference Committee/Agency that would be affected by/responsible for implementation if passed: Rules Committee Financial Implications: None Brief Rationale: Retired deaconesses and home missioners, who are informed, educated, committed laypeople who have dedicated their life to the church, should be added as lay equalization members by virtue of office to our conference rules to help the conference equalize its lay and clergy membership while also strengthening its commitment to lay ministry and outreach outside church walls. Whereas the Book of Discipline also states that “if the lay membership should number less than the clergy members of the annual conference, the annual conference shall, by its own formula, provide for the election of additional lay members to equalize lay and clergy membership of the annual conference (¶¶33, 602.4), and Whereas both active and retired clergy are members of the annual conference, and local charges can elect laity only in numbers matching active clergy, thus annual conferences must create a way to ensure as many lay members as there are retired clergy, and Whereas the number of retired clergy in the Upper New York Conference is 595, (1) and the average number of lay equalization members approved by the last three annual conferences is only 221, (2) our lay equalization (3) efforts are falling short, and Whereas Deaconesses and home missioners, (4) laypeople who are called by God, consecrated by the church, and commissioned by bishops to be in a lifetime relationship with The United Methodist Church in fulltime vocation in ministries of love, justice, and service, provide crucial perspectives on how conference decisions affect ministry beyond local church settings, and Whereas active deaconesses and home missioners are granted annual conference membership by the Book of Discipline (¶33), but retired deaconesses and home missioners are not, and Whereas deaconesses and home missioners are one of three orders in the church, the other two orders being deacon and elder, who are granted voting membership into retirement, and Whereas clergy and lay leadership working together strengthens our witness, and particularly through the specialized ministries of deaconesses and home missioners in settings such as hospitals, schools, and community organizations, and Whereas deaconesses and home missioners serve as vital bridges between church and society, bringing unique understanding of how our ministry impacts communities beyond church walls, and Whereas including retired deaconesses and home missioners as lay voting members of our conference will help meet our lay equalization goals and strengthen our commitment to lay voices and ministry, Therefore be it resolved that the Upper New York Conference recommends that the Rules Committee include retired deaconesses and retired home missioners as prioritized lay equalization members (which would appear under Appendix II, section V, on p. 184 of the Conference Rules as published in the 2023 Journal).

UNYAC2025.6 Encouraging United Methodist Institutions with Endowment to Utilize Wespath Institutional Investing or The United Methodist Frontier Foundation Serving Upper New York and New York Annual Conferences Book of Discipline ¶: N/A Book of Resolutions ¶: N/A Conference Committee/Agency that would be affected by/responsible for implementation if passed: Finance and Administration, Cabinet, Board of Trustees, Conference Secretary Financial Implications: None Brief Rationale: When United Methodists pool their resources together, our witness and capacity for mission is stronger than it would be when we are disconnected. This resolution encourages United Methodists in Upper New York to explore hiring Wespath Institutional Investing to manage any of their institutional investment assets (endowments, memorials, reserves, etc). Whereas Wespath Benefits and Investments (Wespath), an agency of The United Methodist Church (UMC), provides investments services through its subsidiaries including Wespath Institutional Investments (WII); and Whereas Wespath has served the UMC and its predecessor denominations since 1908 through the administration of benefit plans for clergy and lay employees and by more recently investing non-benefit funds for a broad range of UMC entities, including church endowments, UM Foundations and Annual Conferences; and Whereas all of Wespath’s investment funds seek to align all investments on behalf of clergy and lay employees, church endowments, UM Foundations, and Annual Conferences, with the values of the UMC’s Social Principles with guidance found in The Book of Discipline and The Book of Resolutions; and Whereas WII seeks to provide investors with additional values-aligned investment options through its Social Values Choice (SVC) funds that adhere to heightened environmental and social investment criteria and additional values-based exclusions, including the exclusion of fossil fuel companies; and Whereas WII’s disciplined investment approach has delivered long-term, competitive returns relative to its peers; and Whereas, the ten-year return for WII’s Multiple Asset Composite, a balanced strategy comprising both equity and fixed income funds, was 7.11% compared to the BNY Mellon Master Trust Universe median return of 7.05% as of December 31, 2024; and Whereas, the one-year return for WII’s Social Values Choice Bond Composite was 2.67% and the one-year return for WII’s Social Values Choice Equity Composite was 17.86% as of December 31, 2024; and Whereas WII, as a nonprofit organization, seeks to provide investment services to its fellow faith-based, nonprofit institutions at a competitive cost; and Whereas WII’s expense ratio (fee) for its balanced fund (Multiple Asset Fund – I Series) was 16 basis points lower than the median annual operating expense for the institutional share class of a group of mutual funds that have a similar investment strategy and similar benchmarks as provided by Lipper as of December 31, 2023; and

Whereas WII’s 2024 estimated expense ratio is 38-40 basis points for the Social Values Choice Bond Fund – I Series and 23.5-25.5 basis points for the Social Values Choice Equity Fund – I Series; and Whereas Wespath, including WII, seeks to be a unifying body within the UMC; and Whereas United Methodist churches and institutions that invest funds through WII communicate a commitment to both the mission of the United Methodist Church to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world and the mission of Wespath to care for those who serve; and Whereas the decision to hire WII to manage invested assets is a faithful and prudent decision that will serve the mission of the congregations and United Methodist organizations for generations to come; and Whereas the United Methodists of Upper New York is comprised of a vibrant network of 677 local churches and active new faith communities in 12 districts, covering 48,000 square miles in 49 of the 62 counties in New York state; and Whereas the United Methodist Frontier Foundation has been effectively serving large and small churches in the Upper New York Conference for over 50 years. They achieve this by delivering socially principled investment management, fostering generosity, promoting education, providing financial tools, and facilitating connectionalism Therefore be it resolved United Methodists of Upper New York do hereby encourage all its local congregations with endowment or investment assets to consider hiring Wespath Institutional Investments or the United Methodist Frontier Foundation to manage all or a portion of their investments; and Be it further resolved its Cabinet to promote both Wespath Institutional Investing and the United Methodist Frontier Foundation to the local churches with endowment or investment assets that they supervise; and Be it further resolved the United Methodists of Upper New York do hereby direct its Council on Finance and Administration and Board of Trustees to study the question of hiring Wespath Institutional Investments to manage any investment or reserve assets held by the Annual Conference and report back to the 2026 session of the Upper New York Annual Conference their findings and any recommendations for any actions requiring Annual Conference approval.

Book of Discipline ¶: N/A Book of Resolutions ¶: N/A Conference Committee/Agency that would be affected by/responsible for implementation if passed: Bishop’s office Financial Implications: Cost of meetings Brief Rationale: The United Methodist Church no longer mandates discrimination against LGBTQ+ people. At the 2024 Upper New York Annual Conference, the bishop proposed creating a team to help Upper New York churches be more inclusive and welcoming. This petition affirms the bishop’s plan, encourages a diverse and representative team, and recommends the use of resources from the Reconciling Ministries Network. Whereas the 2024 General Conference of The United Methodist Church removed the denomination’s policies mandating discrimination against the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) community, and Whereas Bishop Héctor A. Burgos Núñez stated in his 2024 episcopal address that “with the changes made by the General Conference regarding ministry with and by LGBTQ+ persons, and mindful that United Methodists in Upper New York are not of one voice on this matter, we have some important work ahead of us,” stating that “we need to collaborate and covenant to love each other and our neighbors in healthier ways,” and Whereas Bishop Burgos Núñez shared intent “to convene a small theologically diverse team of clergy and laity to create a resource and process to guide congregations that want to engage in deep and courageous conversations” and to “produce a resource to assist congregations that want to create a contextual covenant about ministry with and by LGBTQ persons,” [1] and Whereas the Reconciling Ministries Network has been working to reconcile The United Methodist Church with the LGBTQ+ community for more than 30 years, and Whereas the Reconciling Ministries Network continues to be committed to intersectional justice across and beyond the United Methodist connection, working for the full participation of all LGBTQ+ people throughout the life and leadership of the Church, and Whereas the Reconciling Ministries Network has a library of resources to help accomplish the goals stated by the bishop, [2] Therefore be it resolved that the Upper New York Conference affirms Bishop Burgos Núñez’ intent to bring together a team to offer resources for congregations seeking to be more inclusive of LGBTQ+ persons and calls on Bishop Burgos Núñez to formally create this team within 90 days of the close of the 2025 session of the Upper New York Annual Conference, and Therefore be it further resolved that the Upper New York Conference encourages the team to prioritize resources created and curated by the Reconciling Ministries Network, and Therefore be it further resolved that the team include LGBTQ+ United Methodists and members/pastors of reconciling churches in the conference while valuing a membership diverse in age, race, ethnicity, gender, and lay and clergy status.

UNYAC2025.8 Endorse NYS Poor People’s Campaign and Labor-Religion Coalition of NYS Statement, “Keep New York’s Commitment to Cut Child Poverty” 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50
Book of Discipline ¶: 161.2 “The Economic Community” Book of Resolutions ¶: N/A Conference Committee/Agency that would be affected by/responsible for implementation if passed: Conference Secretary Financial Implications: None Brief Rationale: United Methodists of Upper New York should encourage New York State to act to decrease child poverty in our state. Whereas New York State continues to have the worst income inequality and some of the highest child poverty rates in the nation yet we also have the resources to solve these problems. In 2021, New York State committed to cutting child poverty in half by 2032. This year, Gov. Hochul and the legislature can make good on that promise by passing a transformative package of policies that would slash child poverty and pay for it by fairly taxing the richest corporations and individuals. Whereas numerous faith organizations, including the NYS Council of Churches, have joined with the NYS Poor People’s Campaign, the Labor Religion Coalition of NYS, and the Kairos Center to issue a joint statement to Gov. Kathy Hochul calling on her to fulfill NYS’ promises to its low-income residents. Therefore be it resolved the Upper New York Annual Conference adds its name to call on Gov. Hochul to include this anti-poverty agenda in her Executive Budget proposal, and we direct the conference secretary to add UNYAC to the organizational sign on at https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/keep-new-yorks-commitment-tocut-child-poverty-organizational-sign-on/ The statement at issue reads as follows: To: Gov. Kathy Hochul From: [Upper New York Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church] We write to you as concerned organizations, congregations and individuals from across New York State to urge you to include measures in your Executive Budget to cut child poverty in half, and to pay for these policies through progressive taxes targeting our state’s wealthiest individuals and corporations. Especially as the Trump administration signals its intention to cut funding for safety net programs and cut taxes for the rich, New York must take bold, proactive steps to protect the most vulnerable New Yorkers and rein in the flow of wealth from the bottom to the top. As your administration has recognized, child poverty in New York is at unacceptable levels. Our child poverty rate is higher than 40 other states, with 1 in 5 kids living in poverty. In the Bronx, more than a third of children are in poverty, and in Rochester, Buffalo and Syracuse the rate is more than 40 percent. As common sense and countless studies show, poverty has devastating consequences on children’s well-being and their future development. New York has a moral obligation to confront this crisis. We applaud the commitment New York made in 2021 through the Child Poverty Reduction Act to cut child poverty in half over the following decade. While we believe New York can and must aim to abolish child poverty altogether, this is an important first target. Thanks to the work of the Child Poverty Reduction Advisory Council,

we now have a package of policies that would achieve this goal. They include: •
Increasing the Empire Child Credit from $330 per child to $1,500 per child annually, expanding eligibility to include the lowest income families, and indexing the credit amount to inflation.
•
Creating a state rental assistance program to serve income-eligible renting households. The program would cover the difference between the rent and 30% of household income, would be available to households regardless of immigration status, and would be an entitlement so that all income-eligible renting households would be able to access support.
•
Doubling the Cash Assistance program benefit amount and indexing it to inflation.
•
Creating a state Food Assistance Program that would cover the nearly 65,000 households with children that are currently excluded from participating in SNAP due to their family’s immigration status.
We call on you to include this full policy package in your 2026 Executive Budget. The Urban Institute estimates these policies would reduce child poverty by 50% if they are fully implemented and reach every eligible household. Although full implementation will take time, child poverty is continuing to rise, and federal policies on the horizon may move us in the wrong direction. Now is the time for decisive action for New Yorkers in need. Including the full package of policies in your budget would demonstrate that New York is serious about meeting the 50% child poverty reduction goal by 2032. New York has the resources to make this transformative investment in our children and families. Our state is home to 139 billionaires, as well as some of the wealthiest, most profitable corporations in the world. In the first half of 2024, for example, Wall Street posted profits of $23.2 billion, nearly 80% higher than the previous year. We call on you to fund these child poverty reduction policies through progressive taxes that target the ultra-wealthy. The Urban Institute estimates the cost of this policy package to be just under $9 billion. There are proposals currently in the NYS legislature that would raise more than five times that amount by modestly increasing taxes on the wealthiest individuals and corporations. These include implementing a capital gains tax, raising corporate taxes on the most profitable companies, making our income taxes more progressive, taxing billionaire wealth, and creating an heirs’ tax.

Camp & Retreat Ministries The Camp & Retreat Ministries Committee exists to support the five camp & retreat centers in the Upper New York Conference of The United Methodist Church.
During this past year, we have worked on moving all five camps forward in our mission to make disciple of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Our five diverse settings provide a safe sanctuary for people of all ages to engage and grow in their relationship with Jesus and to develop and improve their leadership skills. We have actively supported each site in becoming more self-sustaining by developing foundations to focus on each camp and retreat site. Each of our camps has received their 501(c)(3) tax exempt status and the individual Foundations are working towards financial sustainability. Much of our time has been spent in 2024 -2025 on the needs of Casowasco Camp & Retreat Center. Casowasco has suffered from devastating flooding and years of deferred maintenance. In 2024, Casowasco went “On the Road” to provide ministry through some of our other sites as we discern a way forward for future ministry. Currently, Casowasco is in a season of Sabbath rest while we work to discern our next faithful step in vital mission and ministry for Jesus Christ. Please continue to pray for all of our sites as we carry the legacy forward into this new day. In the coming months we will endeavor to find a way forward in the ministry at Casowasco. We will ask the question, “What does God want for this beautiful corner of Creation?” and “How can we help?” We will study and work to make the Foundations for each of our sites function at a higher level and bring each site to vital sustainability for future mission and ministry. We will work to provide our Camp & Retreat Ministry staff – seasonal and year-round staff – all that they need to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. We will prayerfully steward these “thin spaces in the Spirit of God” that have been entrusted to us in this season. Rev. Bill Mudge pastorbillmudge@gmail.com

Trustees, Board of Addendum Re: BSA Settlement Chancellor Abdella recently received an important update on the BSA reorganization plan. This is a supplement to the UNY Trustees’ report on this subject: Following the initial confirmation of the BSA reorganization plan by the Delaware Bankruptcy Court, a small number of claimants appealed, as well as a larger number of insurance companies that issued insurance policies to BSA and various local councils. The appeal was pending before the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. The Court issued its decision on May 13, 2025, dismissing the appeal on mootness grounds – meaning it’s too late to stop the implementation of the BSA plan. In this circumstance, unless someone appeals further, the confirmation of the BSA reorganization plan will become final. If there is an appeal, it would be to the U.S. Supreme Court. This decision is very good news for UNY. We continue to feel that the BSA reorganization plan is safe and our settlement of the BSA-related lawsuits is on track. We will keep a close eye on any possible appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Young Adult Council The role of the young adult council, as it currently functions, is to provide opportunities for connection, collaboration, and opportunities for fellowship and discernment for young people in Upper New York. The council has been able to bridge the wide geography of our area by meeting regularly through Zoom! We partnered with Skye Farm to have two young adult focused retreats. The council is discussing a future trip to Taize, possibly in 2026. Our top three goals for the coming year, include: 1. Continue to explore a Taize trip 2. Explore what young adults around the conference would find most beneficial in terms of resources, retreats, and connection. 3. Support the young adults serving on conference committees and boards.

Ann J. Chatterton Dateline – Saratoga Springs, NY Ann J. Chatterton passed away peacefully on February 20, 2025, at the Wesley Health Care Center in Saratoga Springs, New York where she has resided since October 19, 2023. Ann was born on February 23, 1943, at the Cornwall General Hospital in Cornwall, Ontario, Canada to Albert and Dorothy (Bellis) Seguin of Lancaster, Ontario. The week was memorable for the severe snowstorm that closed roads in the area and prevented the parents from bringing Ann home to Lancaster for several days. Ann grew up in Lancaster, attending elementary and secondary schools there. She earned a Grade Thirteen high school diploma. She went on to earn a Teacher’s Certificate at Ottawa Teacher’s College. Her first teaching job was as a Kindergarten Teacher in Kingston, Ontario at the Central Public School in 1962. While teaching in Kingston, Ann assisted some friends who were moving to Long Lake, New York for a teaching position there. It was in Long Lake that Ann met the Rev. Richard Chatterton, the pastor of the Long Lake Methodist Church. A friendship was established that quickly blossomed into a marriage proposal in the next twelve months. Ann and Richard were married at the United Church of Canada on July 13, 1963. Ann was active in the churches and communities where Richard was appointed over the next 40 years. Those appointments United Methodist Churches in Warrensburg, NY, Delmar, NY, South Burlington, VT, Lansingburg, NY, Saranac Lake, NY, Cobleskill, NY and Ravena, NY. Ann was admired and appreciated as a valuable Christian worker in all these communities. Ann was also acknowledged as a dedicated wife and mother, having given birth to three children: April, Andrew, and Angela. They in turn produced four precious grandchildren: Alex Hicks, Maddy Hicks, Colin Chatterton, and Gavin Chatterton. Ann will be long remembered for her love of nature, especially with regard to dogs and flowers. Ann had a variety of pets throughout the years. Almost always she owned at least one dog. Her dogs were always beloved members of the family. She had a rapport with animals that resulted in healthy, happy relationships. Likewise, Ann had a “green thumb”. She planted and tended many lovely flowerbeds through the years. She knew what plants needed and faithfully provided for those needs. The flowers, in turn, enriched her life and the world with beauty. While continuing her activities in the congregations and at home, Ann expanded her teaching career. At various times she worked as a preschool teacher, a Head Start teacher, and a Montessori School teacher. While living in South Burlington, Vermont, she earned a Bachelor of Education at Trinity College. In Saranac Lake, she commuted to SUNY, Plattsburgh earning a master’s degree in counseling. She did her field work at St. Joseph’s Rehabilitation Center as an alcoholism counselor for residents and their families. When the Chattertons moved to Cobleskill, Ann’s qualifications and experience led to an invitation for her to be the Administrator and Clinical Supervisor for the Schoharie County Outpatient Clinic. In 1991, Richard was appointed the Albany District Superintendent for the United Methodist Church and the family moved Albany. Ann was hired to be a social worker and family therapist for the Families Work Program of the Northeast Parent and Child Society of Schenectady, NY. After five years of working for that agency, Ann opened a private practice she named “Children’s Counseling Services.” Ann’s record of working in the fields of education and counseling while maintaining her duties as a wife and mother and her volunteer activities in local churches and communities earned her wide respect throughout her life. She will be greatly missed! Ann is predeceased by her parents, Albert and Dorothy (Bellis) Seguin of Lancaster, Ontario. Ann is survived by her husband Rev. Richard Chatterton and by her children April (Ted) Hicks, Andrew (Lorie) Chatterton, Angela (Patrick) Doyle and her four grandchildren Alex Hicks, Maddy Hicks, Colin Chatterton and Gavin Chatterton. Ann is also survived by her brother Keith Seguin of Courtney, British Columbia and her sister Carol Veltheim of Calgary, Alberta.

Carl Eugene Getz “Pastor Carl,” 79, of Holland Patent, NY, passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 20th, 2024 after a long illness. He lived a full life of hard work, patriotism, family, and discipling. He was born in Callicoon, NY on August 12th, 1945, to Venus and Eugene Getz. He had wonderful memories of growing up in the Glen Spey, NY Area, graduating in the Eldred class of 1963. It was there that he began his public service career in 1965, working at the Otisville Training School as a Motor Vehicle Operator. His career continued as a Narcotics Correction Officer at Matteawan State Hospital. He received an associate degree from Orange County Community College before moving upstate to the Mohawk Valley. He took a position at the Central New York Psychiatric Center where he spent most of his career in various capacities, including a Mental Health Staff Developmental Training Specialist, and culminating as a Security Hospital Supervising Treatment Assistant before retiring after 38 years of public service in 2001. He was respected at the facility, known for his clipboard, attention to detail, necktie, promptness, and ability to resolve conflicts. He looked back on the years of state service and remarked “I never had a job I didn’t like.” The stories he shared from his time at the state could be their own book series. In 1977, shortly after moving north, he met his soulmate through a mutually beneficial advertisement for childcare posted in the office at work. On July 23rd, 1978, Nancy and Carl began a 46 year marriage, one that has inspired us all. They spent their last 36 years together in their beautiful home on Miller Road in Holland Patent, a property that he enjoyed exploring and maintaining and they loved sharing with others, especially during their many campfires, picnics, holiday parties, or firework displays. He enjoyed his many hobbies. His various collections were a focus, especially the record collection that includes the top 40 from the 1940s-1980s on 45 RPM vinyl. He would spin those records and bring joy to many as the DJ “The Baby Boomer.” Carl also carried on the tradition of hunting that he learned from his father, often returning downstate during the season to hunt with family. He was always willing to take someone out in the woods and share the tricks of the trade. Mets baseball games were rarely missed, but you may have also caught him flipping back and forth to an Old Western Movie or Fox News. He didn’t stay retired long, as after a short battle with Thyroid Cancer, Carl felt a call to the ministry of Jesus Christ through the United Methodist Church. Pastor Carl started as the minister of Trenton United Methodist Church in Barneveld in 2011, a place where he and his family had worshiped for years. He dreamed big with this church, helping to beautify the outside with a new handicapped ramp and a fresh paint job. But the building wasn’t where his ministry left the biggest impact - it was the miles he logged zigzagging the hills visiting people at their homes, hospitals, or nursing facilities, sharing the gospel without hesitating. He was known to invite people to church while picking up his morning coffee at the Holland Patent Stewart’s Shop. His ministry quickly expanded when he was asked by the district superintendent to also serve the Sauquoit Valley United Methodist Church. This began many years of Sunday mornings serving 2 communities with 1 service at 9 am in Trenton and another at 11 am in Sauquoit. He loved his churches, and he gave them everything he had until he knew his health would keep him from performing the full duties of pastor. He left a lasting impact on the communities in this area. He had only wished he would have answered the call to ministry sooner. The family that Nancy and Carl built together included “His, Mine, and Ours,” but he became a father to all of his children and loved them all deeply. He was predeceased by his parents and sister Natalie Van Aken. He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Nancy Pryce-Jones Getz, children Dawn (Clarence) Garduno of Draper, UT, Dean (Dedee) Getz of Denver, CO, Heather (David) Bray of Atlanta, GA, Lisa (Shelby) Ferguson of Rome, NY, Tanya Getz Fox (Joe Meyer) of Middletown, NY, and Sara (Marshall) Bailey of Clay, NY. His legacy also lives on in his 14 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren, all of whom lovingly called him “Poppy.” Calling Hours will be on Saturday, November 2nd, at 10 am at CenterPoint Church, 8021 State Route 12, Barneveld, NY 13304. A Celebration of Life will be held immediately following at 12 pm. In Lieu of flowers, donations can be made to CenterPoint Church. Pastor Carl Leaves us with a call and response benediction: “Go and Serve the Lord.” “We Will Go and Serve the Lord!”

Linda Ward Linda June (Town) Ward, 79, entered Heaven peacefully on February 17, 2025, after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Linda was born on March 30, 1945, in Jamestown, New York to June Evans Town and Lester Town, who was deployed at the time to Germany during WWII. She was blessed to grow up in the small rural town of Clarks Corners, where she would cross the yard to visit her grandmother next door or walk to church at her father’s one-room school house, situated on a road her mother named. She attended Falconer High School, class of 1963, was active in the 4-H program her mother ran, where she learned to make the lattice-top cherry pie that would go on to win her an oven, and participated in Grange, giving everyone a run for their money in dart ball. Following graduation, Linda worked as a teller at the First National Bank and as an Administrative Assistant to the president of the Bell Telephone Company in Jamestown, New York. She also traveled to Senegal on shortterm mission with her local church, stopping over in Spain and the Canary Islands on the way. It was as a volunteer “Gray Lady” at General Hospital that she fell in love with the local pastor, who was making rounds to visit his parishioners. Linda married Jerome (Jerry) Ward on August 4, 1973, in front of over 400 of their closest family and friends! Following their wedding, Linda went on to become a stalwart supporter of Jerry during his ministry in the United Methodist Church, serving as both pastor’s wife and, often, his church secretary. Together, they served the churches of Panama and Watts Flats, Findley Lake, Kidder Memorial Church in Jamestown, Fredonia, and Wellsville. In 2011, they retired to Orchard Park, where they purchased their first home together and found a spiritual home in Revive Wesleyan Church. They enjoyed traveling, their grandchildren, attending Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra concerts, and time with their siblings. Linda was a true homemaker who loved creating themed cakes to celebrate each birthday, decorating for every holiday, and making each new parsonage a home. She attended Bible Camp with her entire family each summer and always looked forward to her extended family’s 4th of July reunion. Linda raised two daughters with her husband Jerry: Christina (Rick) of Fairport, NY, with whom Linda spent her final months, and Heidi (J.L.) of Houghton, NY. She was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Bruce. She is survived by her husband of 51 years, daughters, beloved brothers and sisters-in-law who showered her and her family with sustaining love and prayers throughout this journey, and six grandchildren: Silas, Sadie, Corinna, Eli, Owen, and Lawson, as well as many cousins, nieces, and nephews, and great-nieces and nephews.

She went peacefully, surrounded by her family in the house she built with her husband. Born July 21, 1953, in Pittsburgh, PA, she was the daughter of the late Chalmers and Jesse Gilbert. She is survived by her husband of 45 years, Douglas C. Merle; her children, Nathan (Kristin) Merle, Kristen (Dwight) Hess, and Katie (Nolan) Flores; her grandchildren, Allison & Mason Merle, Rebekah, Raymond, & Ruth Hess, and Levi & Claire Flores; and her brother, Jim (Sandy) Gilbert. Sara led a God-centered life starting as a Christian Education Director. While raising her three children, she felt called to go to Seminary. After graduating from The United Theological Seminary, she became ordained in the United Methodist Church. She had the opportunity to share the Word of God while shepherding the congregations at the United Methodist Churches in North Gainesville, Covington, Knowlesville, Millville, and retiring from Kendall. In retirement, she also spread the Word of God at Carlton and Holley UMC’s. While serving these churches, she was well known for leading the congregations in singing while enthusiastically playing the guitar. She never missed an opportunity to get people involved, which led many to a stronger spiritual awakening. Sara lived a very active life and enjoyed many hobbies over the years including kayaking, fishing, camping, pottery, woodworking, and many different athletic activities. She competed in many events from marathons to Iron Girls, but her proudest achievement was kayaking the “90-miler” in the Adirondack Canoe Classic Race 13 years in a row (over 1,170 miles paddled). She was known to convince members of the church to join in her water adventures as the “Pit Crew” who could be seen outfitted in their “Paddling Pastors” team shirts. When not racing in her kayak, you could find Sara on the water with a fishing pole out at the many campsites in the Adirondacks. On many of their camping trips, Sara shared her passion for the outdoors with her friends, children, and grandchildren. Sara was also a talented potter and woodworker who often made creations for the altar, and gifts for her church members. Sara’s family was the center of her world. She shared her competitive spirit by joining her children in their various athletic events from swimming, to biking, to running. She loved being “Grammy” to her seven grandchildren whom she enjoyed babysitting over the years. She had the great honor of baptizing each of them in their respective churches.

He was a 1952 graduate of Phelps High School and subsequently received a degree in business from Syracuse University.

Timothy Frederick Humphrey-Fox CORINTH & AMSTERDAM & ALBANY – Timothy Frederick Humphrey-Fox of Corinth/ Amsterdam/Albany, passed into the arms of Jesus on Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2024 at St. Peter’s Hospital in Albany. Born on Jan. 12, 1963 in Queens, he was the only child of Frank and Jeanne Fox. Tim lived in Queens until the age of 12 when his mother married Thomas Moore, their across-the-street neighbor at their camp in New Fairfield, CT. His parents and step-parents predeceased him. Tim graduated from New Fairfield (CT) High School, the University of Connecticut-Stores campus, and from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary and the NY State College at Oneonta. He also completed St. Peter’s Hospital’s training for alcohol and substance abuse counselors. Tim and Judy met during their first week of orientation at GCTS and had all of their classes together their first semester. He was certain that he would marry far sooner than she was. But she couldn’t resist his sensitive, compassionate, loving personality. She also enjoyed his sense of humor, most of the time. The couple married on August 20, 1988 while still attending seminary. They shared their love, joys and struggles for 36 years of marriage. After finishing seminary together, they headed off to Judy’s first church in Ames, NY, where there were, in his words, more cows than people. Tim always supported Judy’s pastoral ministry wholeheartedly. He also had his own ministry as an Alcohol Intervention Counselor at St. Mary’s Hospital in Amsterdam. He followed that with several years of inspired service at New Horizons Christian Counseling Center in Scotia. Joshua and Adam, Tim and Judy’s sons, were the joy of his life. He loved seeing them, joking with them, and being teased by them. He always beat them (and Judy) in the board game, “Sorry”. Their only regret is that they didn’t have many more years to show him how much they love him. Tim was so happy to welcome Katie into the family as Adam’s wife and his daughter! He also frequently asked Joshua when he was going to marry Nikki. He was a fan of the UConn Huskies champion basketball teams, as well as the NY Jets and NY Mets, even though they haven’t been champions in sometime! He would cheer for the NY Yankees and Giants when necessary. More importantly, Tim was always Joshua’s and Adam’s biggest fan, whether at baseball, wrestling, hockey, soccer or tennis. His family is grateful for all the loving help and support they received from friends, family, church members, and exceptional home health aides during the years that he battled with health issues. All who know and love Tim are grateful that he now stands tall and strong, singing praises in the heavenly choir to Jesus, whom he loves and who has always loved him. Tim is survived by his loving wife of 36 years, Judith Humphrey-Fox of Guilderland and two sons, Joshua Fox (Nikki Baccol) of Corinth and Adam Fox (Katie) of Wynantskill. A Service of Death and Resurrection will be held at 11 a.m., Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2024 at the Amsterdam Methodist Church, 347 Golf Course Road, Amsterdam.

Following the committal, the family invites friends to Rocco’s Pizzeria, 119 Main St., Corinth for a reception to share a story or two about Tim.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
BOARD OF TRUSTEES UPPER NEW YORK ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH Opinion We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the UPPER NEW YORK ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, which comprises the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2023, and the related statements of activities, functional expenses, cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Upper New York Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church as of December 31, 2023, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Upper New York Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Upper New York Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.
464
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements, including omissions, are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we: •
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
•
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
•
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Upper New York Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
•
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
•
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Upper New York Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
2 465
Report on Supplementary Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The information on pages 32 to 36 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

UPPER NEW YORK ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2023 NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS The Upper New York Annual Conference was created as of July 1, 2010 as the result of the merger of four pre-existing conferences: Troy, Wyoming, North Central and Western Annual Conferences. The plan of Union was presented by the Joint New Area/Conference Team (“New ACT”) and developed through the efforts of New ACT, the Joint Distribution Committee, the Assets Allocation Task Force and numerous other teams and committees. The purpose of the Upper New York Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church (“the Conference”) (“UNYAC”) is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world by equipping its local churches for ministry and by providing a connection for ministry beyond the local church; all to the glory of God. The Conference fulfills that mission by facilitating and resourcing the local churches in the Conference to invite, i.e. opening our doors to welcome new faces and doing new things to share the Good News, to nurture and care for our people so they may care for others, to equip the clergy and laity to learn so they can be enabled to lead; and to deploy, taking the love of Christ into our communities and the world. The Conference also serves as the administrative agency for the United Methodist Churches in the Upstate New York region, facilitating the establishment of local churches which become part of the Conference, providing leadership to the local churches, and by enabling of ministry through the extended connection of the United Methodist Church. NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Accounting The Conference’s financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and accordingly reflect all significant receivables, payables, and other liabilities.

472
UPPER NEW YORK ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2023 NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued Financial Statement Presentation The financial statements of the Conference have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require the Conference to report information regarding its financial position and activities according to the following net asset classifications: Net assets without donor restrictions: Net assets that are not subject to donor-imposed restrictions and may be expended for any purpose in performing the primary objectives of the Conference. These net assets may be used at the discretion of the Conference’s management and the board of directors. See Note 7. Net assets with donor restrictions: Net assets subject to stipulations imposed by donors and grantors. Some donor restrictions are temporary in nature; those restrictions will be met by actions of Conference or by the passage of time. Other donor restrictions are perpetual in nature, whereby the donor has stipulated that the funds be maintained in perpetuity. See Notes 8 and 9. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Conference considers all bank demand deposit accounts, money market accounts and all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023. The Conference maintains its cash in bank accounts, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The organization has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to cash. Investments Investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is determined principally on the basis of quoted market prices. Investment income or loss (including realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments, interest, and dividends) is included in the net change in net assets.

UPPER NEW YORK ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2023 NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance – Allowance for Credit Losses In June 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changed how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren’t measured at fair value through net income. The most significant change in this standard is a shift from the incurred loss model to the expected loss model. Under the standard, disclosures are required to provide users of the financial statements with useful information in analyzing an entity’s exposure to credit risk and the measurement of credit losses. Financial assets held by the Conference that are subject to the guidance in ASU 2016-13 are accounts receivable. The Conference adopted the standard effective January 1, 2023. The impact of the adoption was not considered material to the financial statements and primarily resulted in new/enhanced disclosures only. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses The Conference operates in the ministry industry and its accounts receivables are primarily derived from churches for member benefits. At the statement of financial position date, the Conference determines the expected allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses estimate is derived from a review of the Conference’s historical losses based on the aging of accounts receivables. This estimate is adjusted for management’s assessment of current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts regarding future events, and any other factors deemed relevant by the Conference. The Conference noted no material adjustments relating to these assessments. There was an allowance for credit losses for the year ending December 31, 2023 of $1,054,000. The Conference writes-off accounts receivables when there is information that indicates the debtor is facing significant financial difficulty and there is no possibility of recovery. If any recoveries are made from any accounts previously written-off, they will be recognized as an offset to credit loss expense in the year of recovery, in accordance with the Conference’s accounting policy election. The total amount of write-offs were immaterial to the financial statements as a whole for the year ending December 31, 2023.

474
UPPER NEW YORK ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2023 NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition if purchased or their fair value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. The Conference’s policy is to capitalize expenditures for those items in excess of $20,000. Lesser amounts are expensed. Depreciation is recorded on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. When properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the statement of activities. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance not considered to substantially lengthen property life are charged to expense as incurred. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Conference reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recovered. An impairment loss would be recognized when the estimated future cash flows from the use of the asset are less than the carrying amount of that asset. The Conference has determined that no impairment existed as of December 31, 2023. Leases The Conference determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. Leases are included as right-of-use (“ROU”) lease assets and lease liabilities in the statement of financial position. ROU lease assets and lease liabilities reflect the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Conference uses an incremental borrowing rate for a period comparable with that of the lease term. The Conference does not report ROU assets and lease liabilities for its short-term leases (leases with a term of 12 months or less) or those leases with a present value of the lease payments less than $20,000. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Short-term lease expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $99,668 and included in rent expense.
12 475
UPPER NEW YORK ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2023 NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued Program Service Fees The Conference charges a fee based on the nature of the service provided. These amounts are due from churches, clients and other third-party payors and include variable consideration. The Conference charges the third party payors shortly after the services are performed. The Conference utilizes the portfolio approach practical expedient for contracts related to program service fees as the revenue utilizing the given portfolio would not be materially different than if accounting for revenue on a contract by contract basis. Revenue is recognized at a single point in time as performance obligations are satisfied. Revenue is reported at the estimated realizable amounts from clients and third party payors in accordance with ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Direct Billed Benefits to Member Churches The Conference bills member churches for health insurance (active, retired), flex spending accounts, the Clergy Protection Plan, the United Methodist Personal Investment Plan and the Clergy Retirement Security Program and other miscellaneous member benefits. Contributions Unconditional promises to give cash and other assets are reported at fair value at the date the promise is received, which is then treated as cost. The gifts are reported as with donor restriction support if they are received with donor stipulations that limit the use of the donated assets. Contributions are considered available for general use unless specifically restricted by the donor and are recorded when received. When a donor restriction expires, that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or purpose restriction is accomplished, net assets with donor restrictions are reclassified to net assets without donor restrictions and reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions. Donor restricted contributions whose restrictions are met within the same year as received are reflected as contributions without donor restriction in the accompanying financial statements. Church Apportionments Church apportionments are the amounts assessed to each local church to fund the Conference’s budget. Church apportionments expire at the end of the calendar year. Local churches do not have any commitment on any underpayment of their apportionments.
13 476
UPPER NEW YORK ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2023 NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued Church Disaffiliations Disaffiliation fee income is composed of fees charged to member churches who decided to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church. At the 2019 Special Called General Conference of the United Methodist Church, conditions were passed to allow churches to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church for reasons of conscience related to The United Methodist Church’s stance on issues related to the practice of homosexuality or the ordination or marriage of self-avowed practicing homosexuals. These conditions expire on December 31, 2023. The Conference had about 15% of its member churches disaffiliate prior to the expiration of paragraph 2553 on December 31, 2023. Disaffiliation revenue is recognized when the disaffiliating church pays their disaffiliation fees to the Conference. There were no accounts receivable recorded in the financials for disaffiliation as all fees were paid prior to December 31, 2023. Nonfinancial Contributions A number of clergy and laity of the UNYAC have contributed significant amounts of their time to the affairs of the Conference. However, these services have not been reflected in the financial statements as they do not meet the U.S. GAAP criteria for recognition. Functional Allocation of Expenses The costs of providing the various programs and other activities are summarized on a functional basis in the statement of activities and the statement of functional expenses. Management and general expenses are allocated to the various programs in the form of internal charges based on space occupied, time expended, budgeted allowable share of overhead, etc. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates could affect the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
14 477
UPPER NEW YORK ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2023 NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued Income Tax Status The Conference has been determined to be exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation under Section 509(a). Management is unaware of any unrelated business activities that may be subject to unrelated business income tax or any activities that would jeopardize the Conference’s exempt status. Subsequent Events The Conference has evaluated events and transactions through February 20, 2025, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. NOTE 3 – LIQUIDITY AND AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSETS The Conference’s financial assets, reduced by amounts that are not available to meet general expenditures within one year of the statement of financial position date because of donor restrictions, consist of the following as of December 31, 2023:

UPPER NEW YORK ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2023 NOTE 4 – INVESTMENTS Guidance provided by the FASB defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When measuring fair value, a fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Inputs are broadly defined as assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: •
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
•
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
16 479
UPPER NEW YORK ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2023 NOTE 4 – INVESTMENTS – Continued Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used as of December 31, 2023. Money Market Funds – Valued at carrying cost, which approximates fair value (Level 1 inputs). Equities and Exchange Traded Funds – Valued at the closing price reported in the active market in which the individual investment is traded (Level 1 inputs). Mutual Funds – Valued at quoted net asset values of the shares held on the last business day of the fiscal year (Level 1 inputs). Pooled Investment Funds – The Conference operates a cooperative investment and deposit program for the mutual benefit of United Methodist Church organizations, parishes, and related organizations. The holdings of the Pooled Investment Fund (PIF) include cash equivalents, governmental and corporate bonds, mutual funds, equity securities, and other investments. While there are fluctuations in the PIF’s market value in total, the Conference has followed the practice of valuing the funds due to the participant organizations at the principal amount deposited plus an allocated amount of investment earnings and losses less an allocated share of investment fees. Fair value of the funds is based upon values determined by the Conference with respect to changes in the market values of the investment pool. The funds are Level 2 based upon the underlying investments within the PIF. The PIF investments are calculated using an ownership percentage of the PIF in total (Level 2 inputs).

Net investment interest, dividends, realized and unrealized gains and losses from the investment funds are allocated to the Conference designated and donor designated net asset funds via a pro rata method. The value of each net asset at the beginning of the fiscal year is allocated a portion of the net gains (losses) of each investment account based on the percentage of the overall net assets. These funds are separated into separate investment accounts and the net gains (losses) from each of these investments are allocated directly to the respective net endowed asset account to with which it is associated. All donor restricted contributions have indicated a specific purpose for which these investments can be utilized, but with no time restrictions. At this time, it is expected that only $400,000 of these funds will be used in the coming year.

UPPER NEW YORK ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2023 NOTE 9 – ENDOWMENT FUNDS The Conference’s endowments consist of 20 donor restricted endowment funds as of December 31, 2023. As required by GAAP, net assets associated with endowment funds are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. There were no administrative fees charged in 2023. Interpretation of Relevant Law The State of New York enacted the New York Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (“NYPMIFA”) as of September 2010. NYPMIFA establishes law for the management and investment of endowment funds held by the Conference. The board of directors of the Conference has interpreted NYPMIFA as requiring the preservation of the fair value of the original gift as of the gift date of the donor-restricted endowment funds unless there are explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. As a result of this interpretation, the Conference retains in perpetuity the original value of the initial and subsequent gift amounts (including promises to give). The remaining portion of the donor restricted endowment fund that is not classified in net assets with donor restriction held in perpetuity is classified as net assets with donor restrictions with purpose restrictions until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure by the Conference, in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by NYPMIFA. The Conference’s board of directors has interpreted the applicable provisions of New York Not-for-Profit Corporation Law to mean that the classification of appreciation (depreciation) on gifts held in perpetuity, beyond the original gift amount, follows the donor’s restrictions on the use of the related income (interest and dividends). Income is classified as with donor restrictions until appropriated by the governing boards for expenditure.

UPPER NEW YORK ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2023 NOTE 9 – ENDOWMENT FUNDS – Continued Return Objectives and Risk Parameters The Conference has adopted investment and spending policies for endowment assets that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding to programs supported by its endowments while seeking to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets. Endowment assets include those assets of donor-restricted funds that the Conference must hold in perpetuity or for a donorspecified period(s). Under this policy, as approved by the board of directors, the endowment assets are invested in a manner that is intended to preserve capital, considering the impact of inflation, strive for consistent annual total returns, achieve long-term total returns which meet or exceed inflation, plus spending for operations and grants and earn the highest possible return given the risk tolerance established by the Conference. Funds with Deficiencies From time to time, the fair value of assets associated with individual donor-restricted endowment funds may fall below the level required by New York Not-for-Profit Corporation Law. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, deficiencies of this nature are reported in net assets with donor restrictions. Due to fluctuations in the stock market, some values of endowment funds with donor imposed restrictions may fall below historical gift value (the value as of the date of the gift). It is the Conference’s policy to monitor these fluctuations to ensure historical value is maintained. Should a fluctuation cause funds to fall below historical value, it is the Conference’s practice to suspend spending from these funds until such time historical value is reached. There were no underwater endowments as of December 31, 2023.

UPPER NEW YORK ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2023 NOTE 9 – ENDOWMENT FUNDS – Continued Investment Return Objectives, Risk Parameters and Strategies The Conference has adopted investment and spending policies, approved by the governing boards, for endowment assets that attempt to earn returns that keep pace with or exceed inflation over the long-term while providing a substantial and moderately stable source of income to the Conference for its programs. The Conference’s spending and investment policies work together to achieve this objective. Endowment assets include those assets of donor-restricted funds that the Conference must hold in perpetuity. The investment policy establishes an achievable return objective through diversification of asset classes. The portfolio is expected to exceed the policy index and the real return target each measured on a compound annual return basis after the deduction of investment management fees and annualized over three to five year rolling time periods and a full market cycle. Actual returns in any given year may vary from this amount. To satisfy its long-term rate-of-return objectives, the Conference relies on a total return strategy in which investment returns are achieved through both capital appreciation (realized and unrealized) and current yield (interest and dividends). The Conference targets a diversified asset allocation that places an emphasis on cash equivalents, common stock, mutual funds, corporate bonds, and closed end funds to achieve its long-term return objectives within prudent risk parameters. Spending Policy The Conference doesn’t have a formal spending policy however all spending is approved by the Board prior to being spent. The Conference is working to have a spending policy in place for 2025.

UPPER NEW YORK ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2023 NOTE 10 – RETIREMENT PLANS The UNYAC participates in a multiemployer defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) administered by the General Board that covers substantially all UMC clergy. The UNYAC participates in various sub-plans under the multiemployer plan which are (1) Supplement One to the Clergy Retirement Security Program (“Pre-1982 Plan”), (2) the defined benefit portion of Supplement Three to the Clergy Retirement Security Program otherwise known as the Ministerial Pension Plan (“MPP Annuities”), and (3) Core Defined Benefit Part of the Clergy Retirement Security Program (“CRSP-DB”). This multiemployer plan is a non-electing church plan under the Internal Revenue Code Sections 414(e) and 410(d) and as such is exempt from the minimum funding requirements of ERISA, the Pension Protection Act of 2006, and Internal Revenue Code Sections 412 and 430 through 436. Accordingly, no funding improvement plan or zoning funding requirements apply. The Plan covers three service periods and is therefore managed as three sub-plans since the benefit structure differs for each of the service periods, although the funding for any of the subplans can, under certain circumstances, cover any of the sub-plans. The risks of participating in these multiemployer sub-plans are different from single-employer plans in the following respects: •
Assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one conference may be used to provide benefits to clergy of other U.S. Methodist Annual Conferences.
•
If the Annual Conference stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating annual conferences.

UPPER NEW YORK ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2023 NOTE 10 – RETIREMENT PLANS – Continued Pre-1982 Plan Prior to January 1, 1982, eligible clergy were provided pension benefits under the Ministers Reserve Pension Fund, which was operated as a multiemployer defined benefit plan. Clergy were entitled to a monthly pension benefit calculated as years of service times the annuity rate divided by twelve. Each year, the Conference sets the past service rate. The 2023 past service rate was $658, which represents 1% of Conference Annual Compensation (CAC). Each year, the Board of Pensions consults with plan actuaries to determine the funding status of this plan. No contribution was required in 2023. Future contributions will depend on the funded status of the plan and is determined on a year-to-year basis. The Plan is a non-electing church plan under Internal Revenue Code §414(e) and §410(d). As such, it is exempt from the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA), and Internal Revenue Code §412 and 430 through 436 [see §412(e)(2)(D)]. Accordingly, no PPA funding improvement plan or “zoning” funding requirements apply. Further, the Plan is exempt from filing a Form 5500. As of January 1, 2023 for 2025, the date for which the most current information is available, the Pre-1982 Plan for all conferences had assets of $1,657,842,622 and liabilities of $1,552,628,208 for the net funded status of $105,214,414 (107%). Ministerial Pension Plan (MPP) The Ministerial Pension Plan (MPP) provided benefits for United States of America clergy from January 1, 1982 through December 31, 2006. It is primarily a defined contribution retirement plan with the requirement that clergy must convert 65% of his or her total account balance to an annuity. This plan was frozen effective December 31, 2006. The Conference made no contributions to the plan in 2023. Future contributions will depend on the funded status of the plan and is determined on a year-to-year basis.

UPPER NEW YORK ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2023 NOTE 10 – RETIREMENT PLANS – Continued Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP) The CRSP plan covers service on or after January 1, 2007. The plan has both defined benefit and defined contribution components. The Conference contributed an amount per month per Full Time Equivalent towards the defined benefit portion of the plan for clergy. Contributions for each participant are fully vested. Expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 amounted to $1,380,339. In addition, there is a non-matching contribution to the CRSP-Defined Contribution portion of the plan. The Conference contributes 3% of the compensation for eligible clergy. Expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 for CRSP-DC amounted to $413,016. As of January 1, 2023 for 2025, the date for which the most current information is available, the CRSP-DB and MPP Plans for all conferences had assets of $7,754,497,262 and liabilities of $6,113,768,171 for a net funded status of $1,640,729,091 (127%). United Methodist Personal Investment Plan (UMPIP) Lay-staff retirement benefits are covered under UMPIP, a 403(b) defined contribution plan. Participation in UMPIP requires each eligible employee to contribute 3% or more of wages to receive a 9% of salary contribution by the UNYAC. Expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 amounted to $139,440. Beginning in 2017, some clergy are covered under the UMPIP plan as well. Electing churches were given the option to cover clergy who are not full time, as some churches could not afford to fully participate in the CRSP plan that is offered to clergy. Clergy who are covered under this plan receive a 9% contribution (based on salary plus housing allowance). Expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 for this plan was $87,625.

UPPER NEW YORK ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2023 NOTE 10 – RETIREMENT PLANS – Continued Clergy Protection Plan (CPP) The Upper New York Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church participates in a defined benefit multiemployer welfare plan administered by the General Board of Pensions of the United Methodist Church (Clergy Protection Plan) (CPP). The plan provides life insurance benefits to qualifying and retiring members in addition to providing long-term disability income benefits to qualified active clergy and guaranteed minimum benefits for widows and dependent children of deceased members. Expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 for clergy CPP programs amounted to $418,466. NOTE 11 – POST-RETIREMENT HEALTH BENEFIT The Conference sponsors a post-retirement health care plan for all Conference employees and participating clergy that meet eligibility requirements. The plan is contributory, with retiree contributions that are adjustable based on various factors, some of which are discretionary. The summary of the plan provisions and contribution requirements for the plan include: The Conference obligation is based on years of service: 3.33% of the maximum funded amount per full-time equivalent year of service up to maximum of 30 years (90%) with 5 year vesting. Surviving spouses receive the same percentage as the retiree and lay retirees receive benefits on the same basis as clergy. The period of coverage for both retirees and spouses is lifetime. On December 31, 2014, the UNYAC terminated the retiree group medical insurance. Effective January 1, 2015, the UNYAC partnered with Towers Watson One Exchange to provide a choice of Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage health insurance plans for the UNYAC’s current and future eligible retirees, who are already enrolled in Medicare. These plans are combined with an individual Health Reimbursement Account (“HRA”) for each retiree and spouse, as applicable. The UNYAC will fund the HRA within the plan chosen by the retiree with a fixed amount with which the retiree may choose to pay health care premiums and other healthrelated expenses. The fixed maximum contribution per participant for 2023 was $2,678, based on years of service.

UPPER NEW YORK ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2023 NOTE 11 – POST-RETIREMENT HEALTH BENEFIT – Continued Accounting standards require an employer to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit pension and other post-retirement plan as either a net asset or liability in its statement of financial position. The standards also require an employer to measure the funded status of its postretirement plans as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. The Conference’s post-retirement healthcare obligation is determined annually by an actuary based on census data at January 1st that’s projected forward to the December 31st measurement date, considering adjustments for benefit payments, the expected growth in benefit obligations, changes in key assumptions and plan provisions, and any significant changes in plan demographics that occurred during the year. The actuarial assumptions are based on the presumption that the plan will continue. Significant actuarial assumptions used to determine the post-retirement health benefit obligation are as follows: Valuation Date:
December 31, 2023 (measurement date).
Discount Rate:
4.75% for 2023 (4.90% for 2022). The discount rate was chosen by the plan sponsor based on market information on the measurement date.
Current Health Care Cost Trend Rate:
6.75% for 2023 (7.00% for 2022).
Ultimate Health Care Cost Trend Rate:
5.00% for 2023 (5.00% for 2022).
Year of Ultimate Trend Rate:
