Project 3DP

Justin Myers purchased 2lbs of PLA plastic. This will probably last a few months. In the long run, many types of supplies are needed at HacDC.

Three ways of doing funding general supplies: 1) The proposed PA SUPPLIES project (least controversial). 2) Allowing HacDC members to be reimbursed by the HacDC BoD (or other appointed committee) more freely from the general fund. 3) Allocating budget from the general fund at the monthly members meeting for supplies (existing process).

Funding general supplies sooner rather than later is important to move forward at HacDC.

New Business

Reimburse Justin for PLA

Allocate $52.14 to reimburse Justin for PLA purchase.

• Last Consider (no vote) Article II of the Proposed Standing Rules for voting on at next month's meeting.
