Consensus items[edit]

Considering fiscal sponsorship of Zine. - would allow donations to Zine to be tax-deductible - kelly, would block if they want thier own account, otherwise likes idea. - gavin, would only rarely need to access account anyway, so shouldn't be big burden upon kelly - kelly, wants Zine to make detailed proposal outlining what fiscal responsibility means. Suggests they make separate landing page which donations can go to, and consense at a meeting when they want to spend money - RESOLUTION: gavin, miloh, and kelly will discuss and have a more concrete proposal next week.

Wants $300 to improve electronics area. - passes! Miloh will be given the money

Proposals from last week[edit]

(Add any items which pass or are blocked to the Consensus Items History page.)

Proposals for next week[edit]

Kelly (our treasuror) - wants to migrate to using invoice tracking. This way we can tell who is paid up. Freshbooks. "spend the money required to accept payments with authorize.net, not to exceed $400 followed by $80/mo" kelly will gather more details and present a more detailed proposal next week.

proposes to take sewing machines to apparel city, buy spare parts, and fix/repair them all. estimates the cost of missing parts will not exceed $60 , cost of fixing timings on two machines with broken machines is $70 each. (less than $250) - should mail sewing list and see if anybody could help fix / start a collection (traditionally NB doesn't spend money to fix things) - RESOLUTION: will go to mailing list, will not consense next week.

Discussion Items[edit]

Nothing was discussed.
