Considering fiscal sponsorship of Zine.

- kelly, would block if they want thier own account, otherwise likes idea.
- gavin, would only rarely need to access account anyway, so shouldn't be big burden upon kelly
- kelly, wants Zine to make detailed proposal outlining what fiscal responsibility means. Suggests they make separate landing page which donations can go to, and consense at a meeting when they want to spend money
- RESOLUTION: gavin, miloh, and kelly will discuss and have a more concrete proposal next week.

Wants $300 to improve electronics area.
- passes! Miloh will be given the money

=== Proposals from last week ===

''(Add any items which pass or are blocked to the [[Consensus Items History]] page.)''

=== Proposals for next week ===

Kelly (our treasuror) - wants to migrate to using invoice tracking. This way we can tell who is paid up. Freshbooks.
"spend the money required to accept payments with authorize.net, not to exceed $400 followed by $80/mo"
kelly will gather more details and present a more detailed proposal next week.

proposes to take sewing machines to apparel city, buy spare parts, and fix/repair them all. estimates the cost of missing parts will not exceed $60 , cost of fixing timings on two machines with broken machines is $70 each. (less than $250)
- should mail sewing list and see if anybody could help fix / start a collection (traditionally NB doesn't spend money to fix things)
