MHRT POLICY with regard to acquiring or disposing of equipment.
1. All equipment additions or disposals must be approved by a general membership vote.
2. The MHRT Equipment Committee will be primarily responsible to recommend additions and disposals at the general membership meetings. However, any member has the right to bring forth motions at the general meeting regarding the acquisition or dispositions of equipment.
3. The Equipment Committee may allow temporary storage on the MHRT grounds of new equipment for up to 60 days to allow time for formal approvals by the membership. If approval is denied by a membership vote, the equipment committee will make a disposal recommendation (return to donor, scrap, or sale) within 60 days of the vote.
4. If an item is approved for sale by a general membership vote, there will be a 15 day waiting period before the item is offered for public sale. Members may make offers to purchase the items during this 15 day period.

MHRT Policy regarding Kitchen usage
Any member, who wishes to use the Kitchen, must have a reservation with the chair of the Food
Committee. The kitchen will be inspected by a member of the Food Committee after the event and
must meet the cleanliness requirements of the Olmsted County Health Dept. The cleanliness
requirements will be clearly posted. Usage of the kitchen or the building is restricted to members and
family.
To encourage using the food shelter without using the kitchen, outlets have been installed on the
outer wall of the serving area which can be used for keeping foods hot and making coffee. We have
also placed tables and chairs in the Registration building that can be used for small and occasional
use.
In order to facilitate this policy, members of the Food Committee will have the keys to the kitchen. Any
MHRT member wishing to be on the Food Committee must be trained in the Health Dept's
requirements.
