=== Minutes ===
*Pre-meeting czar meeting
**Should we get the czars credit cards? We will look into writing a policy.
**Are we all clear on the class submission process? We do know that people have to go through czars in order to teach a class?
**If we get a toaster oven for hospitality, it should be under a sprinkler
**Ray did some crazy brainstorming: more and different food items, organize community gatherings, want better tables - what can hospitality do to make the space better for everyone
**What should the larger role of hospitality be - we should use it to build community

*Financials
**We broke 10k in member dues in just one month and about to break $100k balance
**We have most number of student/senior rates but also the most ever in $50 month pay
**We are about 65% members paying the full rate

*Grant status report
**Large format printer is not set up yet - HP is possibly sending a new set of cartridges
**We need to collect data on cool things people do with the tools so we can report to the grantors

*Putting our money into a higher rate savings account - by Russell
**If we do it locally, the introductory rate is good but then it drops
**Online banks seem better - as long as we don't put in too much money that we need to get out and lose the interest
**Also there are high rate savings accounts online that would be better than our bank
**How much, how long, do we ladder? Discussion and then voting ensued.

*Membership update
**So many trial members!
**Tracy is finally caught up with axing people that haven't been paying so now will be a monthly check to see who is 3 months behind and communicating with them

*Changing website wording
**Should we change the website wording to infer that the Student and Senior Rate is a discount, not a perk for being old (or studying)
**We can change the language on the dues page
**We also have to change the membership rules

*Talking about David R. as a new Peace Officer - to take Ray's spot
**David did not give a speech
**Andrew will miss Ray's picture in the bathroom

*Mayor's Maker Council
**Laurie came on to update us!
***Where is Knox Makers going on with the Maker Faire?
**We absolutely want to be part of the decision making
**Some of the board will be on the sub-committee - we'll see if anyone else wants to be in on it

*Transforming Western Project - looks like they are still hiring maybe? There is no other update

*Maintenance Issues
**Lighting issues still
**Rain sometimes leaks in under the wall - don't think there's anything to do about it
**The koi pond is back but again, what are we going to do
**There's a hole in the fence - by the doghouse is - also there is some hobo activity on the other side again

*Aliki came on to talk about the Make Sale
**She has a giant spreadsheet with dates and information
**Now what's the date going to be?
**Issac will go to our building overlord and ask about June 11th and October 1st

*Next Board Meeting March 19, 2023 - same time, same station

=== Votes ===

**Voted unanimously to change the membership rules to include people on disability as eligible for the discounted $20 rate
**Voted unanimously to ratify David as the peace officer
**Voted unanimously in favor of Laurie
