Committee Review/Business

Committee Minutes review notes:

  • Still seeing a few votes for spending without supporting documentation
  • Voting for $1999.99 to get under the $2000 limit does not strike me as excellent behavior
  • Printmaking mentioned a steamroller quote for review, but I haven't seen it
