=== Plan B ===
There is a Plan A vote in progress. This is plan B. This vote should not be proposed if Plan A is ready or already passed. If plan B is proposed and passes, the intention is to overwrite it with Plan A when it is complete.
Plan B is to reuse the 2014 budget in 2015, so that we can still spend money in January if there is no budget authorization already ready.
Plan B is the 2014 budget with the following changes:

=== 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 were not chosen for authorization under this proposal
** Filtering a specific purchase out was not a condemnation of the purchase, but to allow the members to have a more distinct voice in the expenditure decisions of the Hackerspace.
** Knowing what might be purchased later this year was helpful in planning the rest of year.
* Member projects were moved out.
** Again, not a condemnation, but intended for these to be resubmitted as member votes 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
=== Monthly and Fixed Expenses Explained ===
The following is a list of recurring expenses. Some of them have already been paid in full, or in part. The following tables shows both what the yearly expected cost is, and the expected remaining cost for April to December.
