Budget Rules

TBD, all rules are currently under review

Budget Proposals

• the proposed budget is compiled by the Hall Chairs who receive proposals from comms and individual hall members
• comms are allowed to propose general amounts for their group's use, a sort of comm "slush" fund
  • however, overall money requested must be organized into an approximate mini-budget in order to justify how much the comm asks for
    • comms are not necessarily obligated to buy every item proposed in mini-budget unless voted on by hall as a separate item and not as part of the comm's general fund
  • big ticket items should include links/quotes on prices
• individuals may propose rough amounts for one-time purchases
  • most purchases should consist of single items or one-time event funding
  • proposals for items that fall under comm responsibility will be forwarded to the corresponding comm
    • comms must review these proposals and mention all of them at the budget meeting
  • individuals must have links/quotes on prices as well
• all proposals must be in the Friday before the Sunday meeting, though some changes will be allowed during the meeting itself

Budget Approvals

• at the budget meeting, the proposed budget is reviewed
  • Hall Chairs will present overall proposed budget and comms or individuals will explain their own proposals
  • discussion of proposed budget will follow with residents asking questions and offering changes to the budget
• budget is put together to reach total amount given for term
  • slush funds are always budgeted and are intended for emergency use only
• the rough budget for the term is approved at the meeting by majority vote of those present
• throughout the term, approval must be granted for big budget spending by comms at monthly hall meetings
