Just to add to that, we have a float of $5,000. It's not intended for working meals, it's intended as a float to cover unforeseen expenses. When I tried to make arrangements for the meals, they said we couldn't do it unless we wanted to go ahead and deplete those funds and use them for working meals. That would require a motion in committee.
I was told it contravenes the spirit of the financial management policy. Again, it's up to the committee if we deplete the $5,000, but we may need it for something else in the future.
