2025-109-29 27 Meeting of the Board of Directors

...

No meeting was held in October.  Nick Leshock sent 2025 expenses and 2025 budgets to the stewards and requested 2026 budgets from them.  The Treasurer developed the rest of the budget.  Some stewards did not submit budgets and Nick used the 2025 budget and expenses to develop budgets for these shops and sent the budgets to the stewards.  Some stewards included class supplies and emergency repairs into their budgets and these were removed.  The Treasurer informed the stewards that class supplies are paid by class income and emergency repairs are handled by the Emergency Fund or a motion to the Board.  Nick consolidated all budgets into one 2026 Budget that will be presented as a draft at the November Board meeting.
