[Noisebridge-discuss] Noisebridge Meeting 10/17/2017

[John Shutt]

The original consensus proposal doesn’t mention the general fund at all, so in trying to understand how to actually allocate money, here’s my interpretation:

1. $200 in state mandated spending has already been allocated to the Elevator Repair Fund.

2. $720 is inbound to the Elevator Repair Fund. This will mean $920 is allocated specifically to elevator repair.

3. Matching grants from the Equipment Fund count towards Noisebridge’s yearly spending on elevator repair.

4. If the Elevator Repair Fund and/or Equipment Fund are exhausted to the point that they can’t cover the mandated $400 of elevator repair spending per year, consensus is that the money should be made available from the general fund at that point.

This level of detail matters since our spending and bookkeeping is more complicated than in the past. We have several distinct funds and need to account for them separately.

Details and running totals can be found at https://noisebridge.net/finances

If my interpretation of how to account for the elevator repair fund seems off to anyone, let’s talk about it and figure it out.
