Virtual Meeting Etiquette
- Be excellent.
- Attendance and voting can be found in the #meetings slack channel.
- Please show up early if you are concerned about your audio.
- If there is no one waiting to speak feel free to do so at the next opportunity.
- If there is someone waiting to speak, please say that you are raising your hand in the google call chat. (This will be demonstrated)
- Please refrain from other side conversations, these can be distracting for the rest of the meeting and make it difficult for the chair to keep track of what's going on.

Proposal for feedback. Zero out all previous budgeted amounts and expansion funds (refer to Zone Funds page on wiki) remaining in any zone fund balance. Retain any direct contributions. Allocate some amount at total level (say $3000-$4000) and have BOD approve any zone budget requests. This would formally put the expansion and old (pre-covid) budgets behind us and start with a clean slate. Also, this amount would be incremental to estimates (TBD) to complete sewing/elab/craft. FYI, 2024 spend on Expansion $12,500. Approved budgets would generally be used for zone improvements (e.g., new equipment) rather than supplies to operate the zone (weld gas, sandpaper, etc.) which should come mostly from contributions.
CRM discussion.
