[Vanhackspace] Operations Committee: VHS purchases for space

[Dallas Luther]

Hey everyone,
We have worked out a basic budget policy to purchase some much needed
equipment for the space (Soldering Irons, Lasers, Tools etc). We hope to
discuss this policy at the next infrastructure meeting on Monday, September
7th. Subject to approval, a prioritized list of required purchases will
follow next week. The policy outline is as follows, and can be found on the
wiki under Operations
Committee<https://vancouver.hackspace.ca/doku.php?id=operations_committee>

   Operations Committee alone. Purchases greater than $150 must be approved by
   the membership as a whole. The Operations Committee is not obligated to
   approve or reimburse any purchases by members without prior approval.

   discussed and consensus is reached, the member is responsible to make the
   purchase of the item.
