Current Members
Ongoing Areas of Concern
Budgeted Expenses
(Your actual expense budget goes here, along with explanatory notes, for example notes indicating which months expenses are expected to happen in,.)
- $575 every February for new UPS batteries
UPS batteries get used up faster than expected.
Nonrecurring expenses
(This is where one time expenses would go. Yearly or more often go above.)
Related Items
(This is for notes that indicate expenses that affect your committee but are actually classified under a different committee.)
- Increasing bandwidth is expected soonish, which will raise costs (up to $130/month)
- Also another phone line ($26 or so).
- Or there is a package proposal from Integra that covers both at $140ish per month (replacing current setup).
- more bandwidth adds $20 per month
I don't know how often we'd need to get these. They probably will end up in Action:Tools budget item, but just in case they are forgotten:
- line identifier (better than our current one, which doesn't work): $50(?)
- special punch-down head for phone blocks: $5-8
