or, if it's $200 and you know for a fact the space needs it right now, just grudgingly buy it and hold mild anger towards those that said it wasn't needed (sorry, in a mood). Unless (crosses fingers) this is meant as a way to test a new, functional system for the space approving purchases, if so:
Is there a budget for the space that includes consumables like toilet paper that any member is allowed to see / comment on? What percentage of the remainder of that does this $200 represent? As I mentioned before, I think this is a great idea, and the lower price tag just makes it better. I also have mentioned we should be paying more for internet so we can supplement our real host with some old fashioned house file servers (and a webcam/open sign/phone that doesn't require so much maintenance). If a call for comments is up, my only concern is one of not knowing if the amount we have for monthly improvements has included all the consumables I would think higher priority (such as toilet paper). I am also surprised that there is a penny left in this fund after 2 months of building.
