Needs:

Since leaving Dewey Square, we have acquired a lot of stuff. We had an arrangement for a space through the end of January while we look for our next step. Because we are still in a state of flux in finding a permanent space for Occupy Boston, we would like to move forward as Logistics in finding a storage site for the remains of the Dewey encampment until such time as they are needed again.

Proposal:

Logistics proposes a budget not to exceed $450/month (plus fees) for storage. The cost of a 10X25 unit at the storage unit in mind is about $260/month. It is possible that we can get a much smaller unit but we're still in the process of downsizing our inventory so it may still take some time before we can do that. We hope to downsize significantly before we move.

Once a storage location is decided, we will return to the GA to announce the location, accessibility and final dollar amount for the unit.

Reasons for choosing this location: Cheap for the size. T accessible. This means that more than just K*** and J*****, the people in Logistics with a car, will be able to go get whatever supplies we need at any given moment. 

FA: A one time $200 for moving costs.

FA: Payment will be made with the Occupy Boston Debit Card.
