The Financial Subcommittee: Where the Real Decisions Get Made

Minutes from Meeting 3, Item 2: "The Great Cookie Budget Heist"

Presented by: John D. Doe, Chair of the Financial Subcommittee

Summary: After much debate, the subcommittee has decided to allocate an additional 500 cookies to the "Cookie of the Month" program. This will be funded by reducing the "Couch Surplus" account by 200 cookies.

Discussion:

• Item 1: Jane Q. Public argued that the current allocation was sufficient and that any increase would lead to a cookie surplus.
• Item 2: John D. Doe countered that the subcommittee had a responsibility to support local cookie farmers and that the "Couch Surplus" account was a luxury item.

Decisions:

• Decision 1: Allocate additional cookies to the "Cookie of the Month" program
• Decision 2: Reduce the "Couch Surplus" account by 200 cookies
• Decision 3: Create a new "Cookie of the Year" program, funded by the "Taxpayer's Dues" account
