Is your consensus item still drafty, in need of much revision, and not something that you think people already can more or less agree with? Perhaps it belongs on the [[Draft Consensus Items]] page, instead?

| NB Should Get a Credit Card
| Informal Summary Title
| Because Noisebridge is applying for a mortgage in the nearish future, and b/c we have basically no credit history, Noisebridge would benefit from having a credit card to build credit history. It would also make various reimbursement and purchase processes smoother. Therefore, Noisebridge will acquire a credit card, and precisely which one will be determined by little-c consensus. The treasurer shall be responsible for the final signup process.

| Discretionary fund
|Noisebridge shall establish a Discretionary Fund in order to reimburse people for small purchases that help the space.


Guidelines for the discretionary fund


*  Spend it like it's your own money (as judiciously as you would spend your own money)
*  On things that the space needs to be clean, organized, smoothly operating, safe, etc


Examples of things that would be appropriate for the discretionary fund:
|-
*  toilet paper,
*  broom,
*  shelves/drawers,
*  exterminator
*  new bulb for projector,
*  low-cost useful tools,
*  reasonable consumables
 
Examples of things that may not be appropriate:
 
*  Brand new pieces of machinery that cost several hundred dollars
*  Items to support an individual person project
 
Since this inherently involves judgement calls, there should be a discretionary fund working group that shall use little-c consensus to decide if a given expense should be reimbursed.
 
 
The discretionary fund shall start with a value of 1000$ immedately, and shall recieve an additional 500$ on the first of each month from the general fund.
