Members and community folks can submit ideas for consideration as part of Ace’s annual budget planning process. There are two kinds of proposals folks can submit to the budget game for the players to consider. The first proposal type is to increase or decrease spending in an ongoing category (new spending limits). For example, increasing the consumables budget in the metal shop to accommodate more users by X dollars. The second proposal type is for a capital improvement or tool acquisition. For example, buying a new bandsaw.
Fill out this form to submit a proposal.
