Agenda¶
Notes on new BOD structure:
-
Itemization Categories
-
Deliberation
- Items which require discussion and maybe a vote afterwards
-
Voting
-
Items which need a vote for, but not much discussion. Prefer this for procedural items.
-
Notification
-
Information provided to the board to keep everyone in the loop
-
Open Discussion
-
Free for all, unstructured bod time
\ Bod started: 6:12pm
Deliberation Items¶
- Joe: Alumni wanted to advertise tech volunteering opp

- notification at next bod
- total < 250 $
- only for emergencies
- we still want to discuss utility items to avoid bad purchases
- refer to Purchasing Thresholds Act
