The Treasurer's Disclaimer: The numbers below have been calculated in a quick way and have not undergone robust checking as for an Annual Report.
A very positive month overall, mainly due to 2 large fundraising efforts. Thank you to all members and friends of the space who made this happen.
Membership income report is high this month, due to paying off historical unpaid membership invoices from bonds held.
Talkshop income report is low, showing an almost $500 loss. This is likely partially due to receipts no longer automatically printing, although the income from drinks is not up at all.
Suggest resetting printer to automatically print receipts either on food days, or permanently.
Closer scrutiny of expenses and payments will be needed if this is repeated next month.
New reporting format of income/expenditure trialled as requested last month.

The Artifactory Expenses bylaw, as amended 2025-06-16, states that:
The Treasurer is authorised to reimburse/pay for the following expenses without seeking committee approval. The Treasurer may refer a particular payment to the Management Committee for approval at their discretion.
- Items for use by a subcommittee of the organisation provided that a) the total amount is less than $150, and b) the expense has been approved by the chair of the relevant subcommittee or delegated subcommittee member.
- Subcommittee chairs and the Management Committee may independently delegate approval authority within the subcommittee, in whatever manner they choose, provided it is documented on the relevant subcommittee page on the wiki.
- Delegated authority may be limited to specific purposes or limits as specified in the delegation.
- The Treasurer must be informed in writing regarding all changes to delegated approval authorities.
There is a gap here because not all subcommittees have chairpersons, and there is no defined procedure to appoint chairpersons.
To address this, Lewis Yip proposes to amend the Subcommittees bylaw by adding the text in bold below.
¶ Membership of subcommittee
A subcommittee ---
- must have at least two members.
- must include at least one committee member.
- must have a chairperson.
- may include any person the committee considers appropriate, whether the person is a member or not.
A person may be appointed to, or removed from, a subcommittee ---
- By the committee; or
- By the subcommittee, subject to approval by the committee.
A person may be appointed as the chairperson of a subcommittee ---
- By the committee; or
- By the subcommittee, subject to approval by the committee.
Note: The chairperson of a subcommittee has expense approval authority as defined in the Artifactory Expenses bylaw.
We then need to appoint chairpersons for any subcommittee that doesn't already have a chairperson.
| Subcommittee | Current chairperson | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Infrastructure | Joshua Rospondek | OK |
| Laser | Blake Samuels | OK |
| Associate Memberships Panel | None | Ben, JC, Renae. Renae will discuss internally and raise on Loomio |
| IT Subcommittee | None | Nick, Blake, Fletcher, Tom White. Propose to appoint Fletcher Boyd. |
| 3D Printers | Fletcher Boyd | Propose to switch to Tom White |
| Promotions | None | Penny, JC, Tegan. Propose to appoint JC. |
