Olivia - seconds motion

Mathias - when someone wants to go on a payment plan and that they owe more than $500 by the 3rd, it most come to the house, if only $500 after the 3rd treasurer can give the payment plan, the reasoning is that the deposit is $500 so it provides coverage for missed rent

Seb - will tend to abstain from money votes in the future to help maintain objectivity of treasurer
