Board Meeting:

Time & Location

July 28, 2024 Big Blue Button

Minutes

• FINANCIALS

The Quickbooks conversion is still underway with Sue wrestling with the details. We received the first half of the grant money and should receive the second half soon. Our cash position is solid.

• MEMBERSHIP

Members fell from to . (Non-paying members are being culled)

• Mayors Maker Council

Jondale reported on a meeting that focused on makers who are more commercially focused. The city doesn't necessarily hand out money - rather offers tax breaks. They do however provide facade grants for those that have buildings. This is something we can keep in mind should we get our own building.

• FALL MAKER MARKET

Due to concerns revolving around a night market, we need to consider a lawyer consult. Primary issues are liability and whether or not we have adequate insurance coverage. Voted to approve up to $2,000 for attorney fees.

Initially, there will be three main teams to make the market a reality: Lighting Decor/Theme Marketing/Promo

Rules agreed on:

No gasoline generators

No political items promoted or sold.

We will have Classic KILLSWITCH at the Fall market

• SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

TCAT hasn't recommended a person for the second scholarship. We will proceed with onboarding the initial recipient.

Votes

Approved up to $2,000 for attorney fees - review of issues surrounding the Fall Maker Market.
