Harbor Freight has a very good sale right now. The proposal is for spending $500 and it should get us enough of the interlocking matts for 2 list fields. There were no issues or concerns. This was discussed in the previous meeting as well but did not make the minutes. The biggest point of discussion was it enough to make the size list fields we need and it was agreed that yes, as long as we can get it done in time with the sale.

(<i>WASSAIL!!!!</i>) budget. The reason is that the $250 deposit is not considered part of, or taken out of, the general site fee. Therefore, when the amount due for the full site fee, we need that as well as the $250 security deposit. When the original budget was approved, it was (incorrectly) assumed the security deposit was incorporated into the site fee. Barring any unlikely need for the site to keep any or all of the security deposit for damages, we will be getting the $250 back after the event. No issues or concerns. This is the 2<sup>nd</sup> of our 3 meeting discussion/approval process.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><u><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>New Business<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Budget item: Additional funds needed to cover Baronial polling costs ($29.63) –</span></b><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'> Due to the overwhelming response in poll returns, the original estimated cost for the Barony’s responsibility (by Kingdom law) for paying for the polling processing (paper, copies, postage, etc) was more than the amount the Barony originally approved. The Barony originally approved $100 for covering the polling costs, but since we had such a great response, the additional copying and postal fees needed increased the total the Barony is responsible for to $129.63. Therefore we have a $29.63 gap we need to approve. Due to the fact that the Kingdom Group Transitions Deputy fronted the costs herself, it was agreed that we can expedite this approval process to a single meeting for several reasons. 1) A person outside our group fronted the money for us out of the goodness of their heart and making her wait another month for the 3-meeting process did not seem appropriate. 2) It is only a small amount we are approving, less than $30. 3) The Barony is responsible for paying for this anyway. So after discussion everyone at the meeting agreed that it was right and proper to expedite this process. The extra $29.63 was approved and we can now cut the full check for $129.63.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Budget item: Materials for printing Baronial brochures and business cards ($60) –</span></b><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'> Genoveva is requesting $60 to buy paper/stock to print more business cards and brochures.
