Ongoing Areas of Concern

Server Room (no longer new, still does not have a page of its own) Phone Infrastructure (this is just as important as the rest of our infrastructure, if not more!)

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.)

Are these still needed?

• line identifier (better than our current one, which doesn't work): $50(?)
• special punch-down head for phone blocks: $5-8 * YES, LOOK ABOE * -Jared

Meetings

We meet weekly at 2:00 pm on Saturday in the Meeting Room. Meetings are open, but participation is generally limited to members of the Technocrats. If you're interested in joining, the best way would be to listen in on the meetings and join either server build or tech support.
