[evergreen-outreach] ALA Annual A/V needs

Mon Jun 3 08:14:01 EDT 2019

Replying to the part about the trouble with the AV equipment at ALA last
year the issue was that there were local union rules about that so it was a
hard limit.  The issue wasn't with ALA itself though ALA could have gotten
in trouble with the union and thus host facilities.  If I recall Kathy paid
a certain amount out of pocket and asked for reimbursement.  Not knowing
these variables in advance I think we will have to assume that bringing our
own equipment isn't viable.  Historically, we have asked for a line item by
line item from the board.  However we've also seen that it's common for
things to go up and down a little which has caused us to have to go back to
the board frequently for little changes.  I'm inclined in the future to ask
for a budget that we have the freedom to move things around within though
submitted with the line items and a sincere best effort to estimate what
the actual line items will be spent on and how much.
