-The Facilities Workgroup processes requests & decisions about spaces that are "//uncaptained//", meaning they don't have an Area Captain. The volunteer Area Captains have domain over their area.  Decisions between Area Captains can be handled by affected Area Captains.  An example would be moving the border between the machine shop & wood shop.  Those two Area Captains can consider, undertake, decide, and execute such a decision themselves.

-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.
