**'''Budget Plan'''
 +
***For the time being, the $500 that is on the Bento cards for each area can be what they can spend until we get through the first quarter, or longer if possible.  Bare bones, absolute critical needs only while our finances recover.  We will re-evaluate and reallocate funds as necessary.
 +
***Each area is asked to look at their critical needs for the first quarter and report that back to the board.  Areas are asked to re-work their proposals to show those critical needs and to try and group needs together by quarter to help finance do their work.
 +
***Send these numbers to the finance committee to work on along with the overall budget to report back at the January board meeting.
 +
***Do we have enough supplies to run the new welcome center and classroom committee without allocating additional funds at this point in time?  Want a bare bones proposal for the first quarter and can approve from there if needed.  Lets use up supplies on hand and address needs if they come up.
 +
***Next finance committee is XX/XX.  Patrick send a reminder email out to areas and committees to update their budgets.

      • Metalshop - Rustin Atkeisson
      • Printmaking - Marc Lujan
      • Textiles - Malissa Long
        • $650 (Prior Year $600)
        • I just want a supply budget for textiles at this time. I’d be happy with just carrying over what is on my Bento card or $650 for the year, which has been my budget for the past 2 years. I only plan on Making the 2 additional ironing tables which can be done for less than $100, getting casters for the big table, and magnetic chalkboard paint to redo one of the chalkboard walls. I may need to replace one of our basic machines which is less than $200.
      • Woodshop - Doug Wilson
    • Requests from Committees:
      • Facilities - X
        • $x (Prior Year $2,000)
      • Inventory Committee - Anna DiSalvo
        • $1,000 (NEW)
      • Classroom Committee - LaDeana Dockery
    • Budget Plan
      • For the time being, the $500 that is on the Bento cards for each area can be what they can spend until we get through the first quarter, or longer if possible. Bare bones, absolute critical needs only while our finances recover. We will re-evaluate and reallocate funds as necessary.
      • Each area is asked to look at their critical needs for the first quarter and report that back to the board. Areas are asked to re-work their proposals to show those critical needs and to try and group needs together by quarter to help finance do their work.
      • Send these numbers to the finance committee to work on along with the overall budget to report back at the January board meeting.
      • Do we have enough supplies to run the new welcome center and classroom committee without allocating additional funds at this point in time? Want a bare bones proposal for the first quarter and can approve from there if needed. Lets use up supplies on hand and address needs if they come up.
      • Next finance committee is XX/XX. Patrick send a reminder email out to areas and committees to update their budgets.
