A lot of expenses (Chase, Zoho, Pagely, Comcast, etc.) are authorized only to a certain amount. Is a buffer included? If not, one should be, e.g. the Board has discretion to increase this by 20% to cover increases to costs billed. Otherwise, something unexpected causes the ridiculousness of having to increase something by $12.50 with a member vote. Or, alternately, the language could be modified so it is clear that the policy granting the Board the power to pay contractually required expenditures trumps the budget. Comcast raised the rate $5 a month? No big deal. --[[User:Rdpierce|Rdpierce]] ([[User talk:Rdpierce|talk]]) 16:48, 6 April 2014 (CDT) | A lot of expenses (Chase, Zoho, Pagely, Comcast, etc.) are authorized only to a certain amount.

The board has a fair amount of discretion in keeping the space running - see [[Bylaws#Board Budget]] for one of the several pieces of language that allow the board to spend money to keep things rolling along. --[[User:Dbever|Dbever]] ([[User talk:Dbever|talk]]) 21:02, 6 April 2014 (CDT) | |||
