operating costs
 

My observation concerns operator fees. The VDACS stipulates that charities can only pay operators a set fee for their services, not a proportion of the revenue. This is detrimental to charities since they remain responsible for the flat fee even if revenue drops. It's strange that VDACS imposes this kind of arbitrary constraint. A logical solution would be to remove the first two sentences of 11VAC20-30-60.P. Commissioner Guthrie has emphasized the importance of charities meeting their use of proceeds requirements. Beyond this, there is no need for the state to interfere in the management of charities' business activities.
