October 2015 - Board Meeting
Present: Ward, Nabil, Ray, Tim, Bailey
- Rent payments: Auto-pay broken. Management company not returning calls. Trying to get checks to landlord.
- Bailey to leave checks (including signed rent checks) with Nabil while she is out of town.
- Need better way to manage “in for $10” programs. For now, give money to Bailey. Long term, add to website and create reporting tool.
- We will start putting leftover soda money into a consumables fund, to buy consumables. Examples could include PPE, toilet paper, cleaning equipment, saw blades for space-owned saws, etc. Specifically excluded are consumables for member-owned tools and equipment.
- Emergency response - Tim
- Tim will print posters with emergency info, how to communicate location to emergency dispatch
- Ward will research whether there is a way to clarify our location to dispatch before there is another emergency
- Would like additional board members to have Red Cross training
- Bailey will get through work
- Following up with several organizations; most will be in a better position to work with us in early 2016
- Need boilerplate for contract - Ray to draft
- Different-looking badges
- Laser cut their logo, our logo onto the badges
- 8 out of 42 people who found us on meetup.org have come to visit the space. None have converted into members.
- Will continue paying for another 6 months
- Nov 21 - art show - where are we on this? Is it still feasible?
- No. We have an art show with no artists right now, and multiple board members will be out of town. Scrambling to make this happen is not practical.
- Jan 30. Tim will head up planning, but will need help.
- Flyers are stacked next to the door, Ward outlining a tour guide.
- I sent an email to former members inviting them to take another look at the space. Would like to briefly review their feedback for awareness and future planning.
- Dave to follow up to see whether the chain link from 900 Keo is still available
- Nabil to confirm whether we still have a “Supporting Member” tier written into the by-laws
- If so, the family membership will be implemented as a pricing policy where minors are non-voting supporting members. No by-law change will be required.
- Ray notes we should encourage members to consider converting to Supporting Member tier if they are uninterested in voting, to make it easier to obtain quorum during future member meetings.
- Ray to communicate to members
- Will document as extra column in board’s member list spreadsheet
- Waivers: Nabil will add signature line to waivers for parent/guardian signatures for minors
