Chancellor of the Exchequer Kara Irini bin Todori
We approved the financial policies in may, but then were told by EK that we needed to match their format. The updated version has been provided to the EK exchequer, and I recommend we post the revised version to the website.
The primary change was a revision of the order, so everything was cut and pasted, carefully. They did not have a place for the beneficium, or the subordination to the society and kingdom, so those were added to the end.
Any place where it stated “see society or kingdom policy” now references the specific location in those policies. And it now lists dedicated funds. Kara would like a vote authorizing posting of the current version.
Motion carries. Post will be up tomorrow.
?:Has anyone done the homework to determine how much a storage unit costs?
?:Who was the last steward when we had a storage unit?
?:It’s been more than a decade, so the price is not accurate.
?:Frithuric has had a unit more recently than that, and the price was $180 for 10×10 24 hour access drive up.
John: 24 hour access is important for events.
In the past it has been on a card and reimbursed, as thats how storage unit payment happens.
Gudrun will provide price on the last one, and the size at the time.
At the time, the historical archives were in the unit as well, which have been downsized and don’t need as much space.
Gudrun:8x10x6 $129/month 8 years ago.
Irini will research prices and locations.
If you have thoughts regarding locations, please email the exchequer.
The exchequer would like a stamp to sign for the barony. It is likely under the exchequers allotment. Is the council okay with this?
Council approves..
Gate would like to get some inexpensive walkie talkies.A donation is volunteered for at least two, gate and autocrat.
Gate also received a fresh box of pens donated by one of the vigils.
