New Team Budgets
- The Blacksmithing & Casting Team accept the proposed team budgets below as standard, reoccurring monthly budgets, with team discretion to spend said budgets as required, as long as purchases meet a reasonable definition of the budget description provided AND has a clearly understandable, trackable task that is located on a HSBNE Inc tracking system and has existed for at least 1 month, unless otherwise specified by the budget.
- All Blacksmithing & Casting Team budget spending must be via HSBNE Inc prescribed payment systems (ie Budgetly), and any budget spending not via these payment systems must be brought to a team meeting for approval.
