→$500 cap on Area host purchases
::: We went with a $750 limit this year, which is what we told to the area hosts when they were making their budgets. If this hasn't already been added back into the language, it will be in just a minute. [[User:Justin|Justin]] ([[User talk:Justin|talk]]) 18:51, 6 January 2015 (CST)

"Area hosts are authorized to spend up to $750 for any single capital expenditure. Any line item in the budget that goes above this limit is not authorized for purchase and will require a separate member vote.
Area hosts may spend any amount to replace or repair existing tooling or machinery. Replacements must be the exact same item. Any upgrade or different tooling or machinery that serves the same purpose would require a member vote to authorize spending."
:I am still not real comfortable with this wording... I understand the other side of this argument. (That a vote could keep the equipment down for too long.) I am wondering what people would think of adding something like this:
:"Any spending that falls in the above two situations that the host post on the mailing list what they are going to do before spending over $300 at least 12 hours before the purchase."
:This is just so the membership can speak up if there may be a desire to upgrade a piece instead of direct replacement when it brakes- Just to cite one situation that might come up.
