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
