Area Host
Area hosts submitted budgets to this vote's sponsors with items that lead toward the area hosts's vision for his or her area. The process chosen for deciding is the following:
- New capital purchases over $500 was not approved.
- This was not a condemnation of the purchase, but to allow the member's to have a more distinct voice in the expenditure decisions of the Hackerspace.\
- Knowing what might be purchased was helpful in planning the rest of year.
- Member projects were moved out.
- Again, not a condemnation, but intended for these to be resubmitted by the interested parties.
- Knowing these numbers is also very helpful for planning.
- Any area host budget under $3,000 after removing items for separate vote was bumped up to a minimum $3,000
Grand total: $27,047
