Budget Reorganization

We are trying to regorganize the budget slightly, so that each staff committee can get a clear picutre on how much money it is allowed to spend in any given quarter. To this end, we're trying to assign the expense categories, each a line item in the budget, to the exisiting committees. There are several line items that are currently shared between committees, and we'd like to reorganize them a bit.

Each committee should think about expected and desired projects that they would like to see added to the budget.

Shared between Committeees

These expense items are being shared between various committees and will likely be reorganized or assigned to an arbitrary committee:

Supercategory	Category	Subcategory	Committee
Adminstration	Mail and Postage		(shared)
Adminstration	Office Supplies		(shared)
Adminstration	Printing		(shared)
Adminstration	Program Development		(shared)
Adminstration	Transportation	Bus fare reimbursement	(shared)
