== Budget authorization ==

Like any well-governed organization, our authorization to spend is
tied to our budget.  See for example the 
[[Board of Directors/2013-12-10|December 10, 2013]] budget motion:

{{blockquote|
''Suggestion Motion:'' Moved by ______________, seconded by ______________ that the __(year)-(year)__ budget
be adopted as (presented/amended) and that expenditures be authorized to the total of
each line item of the budget, with any individual expenditure of over $500 requiring
additional board approval.
}}

What this means is that we have budget categories and an upper limit
of spending in those categories.  E.g. $1800 for satellite phones,
$100 for advertising, equipment maintenance $3000.

We've preauthorized payments less than $200 for those categories, as
long as they don't go over the category limit.  Those cheques don't
have to go before the board, they can be signed right away by the
signing authorities (Administrator, President, Vice-President, Treasurer).

== Exceeding budget ==

Any payment that will take us beyond the limit for a budget category
has to go before the board, even if the amount is less than $500.

Whenever
we're about to or projected to exceed the limit of a budget category,
the administrator or treasurer should highlight that to board, and a
discussion should result of how it will impact our organization.

Most organizations have a difficult decision at that point
as they decide whether to go into the red or to cut back on other
spending or beef up their fundraising.
