 ====ARTICLE NINE: FINANCES====
@@ Line 271: / Line 274: @@
 It is suggested that the amount a member is charged for a fine is $10 ($20 for lost keys), which is amendable by the house. A written copy of the fine is to be given to the member and the Finance Officer. If a member is fined for failure to do or complete a house job, then the fine may be credited to any member who completes the job. Every member has the right to challenge any fine at the first house meeting following the issue of a fine.

+====ARTICLE TEN: ABNORMAL PURCHASES====
+If any member seeks to purchase items using house funds that are not under the purview of the House Purchasers or needed for regular maintenance and repair by the Maintenance Officer then they shall bring it to vote by the house. To achieve proper house consent for such purposes the following protocols must be followed:
+  - **1.** A presentation must be made by the member seeking the usage of house funds to purchase an item for the house. The presentation should include: an explanation of what the proposed purchase is, what the usage would be, where it would be bought, the exact cost, and where the funds for that cost would come from.  If the proposed expenditure is under $25 then the presentation may be made online with an option to vote it down, otherwise it must be made during a house meeting.
+  - **2.** If house funds are to be used then the House Finance Officer must inform the house on the status and availability of funds.
+  - **3.** A vote must be taken to approve or deny the proposed purchase with a two thirds majority at a house meeting that meets quorum. If the vote is held remotely then quorum rules still apply.
+The House Finance Officer and Purchasers are the only members implicitly allowed to handle house funds with the Finance Officer having final say. House funds (ex. House card) may be used by others but only when lent out to other members and returned to the Purchasers or the Finance Officer after purchases are made. House funds may be lent out only when following the above protocol.
+If a purchase is made outside of the proposed cost then the purchaser must pay or reimburse the House on the money spent over the agreed upon budget. If a purchase that is made is either unapproved or a reckless amount over the approved budget then the purchaser must pay it themselves or reimburse the house as well as having their purchasing privileges revoked upon a majority house vote.
