We used a ?dot vote? for this last year. Almost identical to the budget fair you describe. It worked pretty well. We had items with vastly different costs. If you don?t know about dot voting ? Print up an 8½ x 11 sheet with each candidate. Give each member a number of stickers (I don?t remember exactly how many we used ? 5-8). Each member votes by placing as many stickers as they want on the proposed projects. They can weigh their vote: they can put all of their dots on project A or spread them around as they choose. This doesn?t solve the problem you?re concerned about. In fact, that exact problem came up. The way I solved it was, after the dot vote, to compile the project list in order of preference. I then presented a proposal to either (1) fund #1, #3, and #4, and skip #2 or (2) fund #2 alone. In our group, the preferences were pretty clear and there wasn?t a lot of contention, so we quickly chose option (1) by consensus. So it took two meetings instead of one, but I think most everyone was satisfied with the outcome. -Bryan Syverson Treasurer, La Querencia HOA (Fresno, CA)
