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.
