I was thinking about something between these two proposals e.g. allowing 
the debt to be paid out over about 3 months.  If this is tough to decide 
on, how about a poll to gather member input?  It could be as simple as, 
"Do you think that the HCoop debt of $5000 (a cost of about $46 per 
member) should be distributed over the course of: "

a) one month
b) two months
c) three months, etc.

Another question could be: what is the least amount of monthly payments 
in which you would be able to afford this extra cost?

Asking these questions on a poll might help us to gain information that 
would reduce distributing costs that some may not be able to afford, and 
should help to make some members feel more included in the process 
during a time when tough decisions have to be made.
