I don't see any problem here as a Chair, so it is approved from my perspective, subject to the comments already in this thread that miscellaneous expenses should be spelt-out or contained in the general buffer, and that we should of course continue to seek ways to keep spending to a minimum, such as by borrowing items or finding cheaper ways to rent them. As this is a new line item it would be polite to ping the DPL to ask for either agreement that this isn't a material change from the previous DPL-approved budget, or a new approval.
