-The Facilities Workgroup processes requests & decisions about spaces that are "//uncaptained//", meaning they don't have an Area Captain.

-The Workgroup's decisions might instead be recommendations if they have financial aspects. For example, a request comes in that the east attic should be turned into rentable storage.  In such a case, the Facilities Workgroup would make a recommendation to the Board & the Board would make the decision.+The Workgroup's decisions might instead be recommendations if they have financial aspects. For example, a request comes in that the east attic should be turned into rentable storage.  In such a case, the Facilities Workgroup would make a recommendation to the Board & the Board would make the decision.  A good rule of thumb of Workgroup decision versus recommendation to the Board is: if it costs us money (over $100), or is likely to change the way we intake or spend money, it would then fall under the Board's yay or nay.
