Records of the proposals and responses from the Alms Assembly of 29 November 309 AC. The Alms Ministry thanks all those who have attended for their much valued input and participation.
Proposal I
By Her Eminence, Archduchess Sorenvik
An initiative seeking the development of improved efficiency charcoal kilns was proposed. Said kilns were envisioned to be obtained and distributed before next Winter, or preemptively to cold climate regions where their usage would be year round.
Status: Under consideration.
Formation of a list of interested engineers and the employment of a qualified Supervisor is ongoing.
Proposal II
By Mister von Leitner
An initiative involving the commemoration of those who have suffered or lost their lives in the Vampiric Occupation of 309 was proposed. Said commemoration would involve the construction of a statue in a prominent area.
Status: Under consideration.
Sculptors and a suitable location for constructing proposed commemoration is ongoing.
Proposal III
By various interested parties
As a byproduct of discussion concerning Mister von Leitner's proposal, several interested parties expressed interest in the management of a fund dedicated to the support of the bereaved; namely war widows and orphans.
Status: Null.
A portion of the Alms Ministry budget is already dedicated to such a task. However, further consideration is being made on the specifics of how the fund should operate in the future. Interested parties are encouraged to letter the Alms Minister or the Officer of Commoners with their suggestions, or provide them at the next Alms Assembly.
Proposal IV
By Her Eminence, Archduchess Sorenvik
An initiative regarding the development and construction of mass manufactured homes for the homeless was proposed. Said homes, rated for Northern climates, were stated to be occupiable for a time of up to eighty years, and a gauge of interest in regards to Noble House participation was made.
Status: Tabled.
Proposed cost was deemed too steep for projected longevity. The Archduchess states that while a government-based action would be postponed indefinitely, she would be willing to assist any Noble House that wished to implement the same mass housing scheme in their own lands.
Proposal V
By Her Eminence, Archduchess Sorenvik
An initiative made to incentivize farmers to plant more staple crops was proposed. Farmers would be given monetary bonuses for planting certain crops with higher yields, sacrificing variety in exchange for increased quantity of foodstuffs overall. Said quantity would be stored for future famines or times of need.
Status: Tabled.
Pending consultation with expert agriculturalists with regards to possible destabilization of crop production should one species prove to be susceptible to diseases. The issue of finding high yield crops that are also able to be cultivated in all of the Empire's various climates was furthermore raised.
Proposal VI
By Her Eminence, Archduchess Sorenvik
An initial proposal to sponsor impoverished but gifted youths to Knight Orders was broadened to also include their sponsorship to Arcane Academies and Academic Institutions. Said initiative would provide otherwise poor but competent unfortunates the ability to contribute further to the Empire through higher quality education and upbringing.
Status: Under consideration.
Investigating suitable candidate schools for their compatibility with the program, as well as establishing offices for the purpose of identifying potential candidates from the common population.

Next Alms Assembly event TBD.
