Meeting Minutes

• Sue gave a financial update.
  • We have no idea what the membership is. Blame Jondale.
  • Monies are looking good and dues are up.
• Issac is updating on our KILLSWITCH situation.
  • We have a place and date sort of, but are waiting on a lawyer to look at the forms they gave us.
  • He has asked to see our insurance policy as well and he will get back to us in a few days.
• Andrew updated on the wall and blacksmithing building
  • The wall is looking great and the primer is looking really great.
  • We need to put another layer of drywall on and not mud before getting inspected again.
  • Next is installing the doors.
  • No updates for the blacksmithing building
  • We'll take a look after the meeting to see if any pieces are being damaged from sitting around so long.
• Jondale uploaded the lease forms to the cloud and available for use.
  • How do we determine what is listed in haxdb or not? We could make an initial list and then ask the czars if anything is missing?
• How do we get rid of the sandblasting cabinet?
  • Sean has appointed himself as head of the Kiss Committee and whoever takes the sandblast cabinet gets a kiss from him.
• Issac is adding stuff to the agenda now.
  • He made a poster to advertise our Peace Officers.
• Now Issac is letting anyone add stuff to the agenda.... gosh.
• Sean went to the Mayor's Maker's Council meeting.
  • He's heading up the Marketing Committee.
  • Do we want to host a Makers Meetup? We'll talk about that in the future.
• There is an issue with people not using the filtration system in the woodshop.
  • We will probably always have to educate people, but maybe we remind the membership more aggressively.
  • We can also remind people of the consequences of not using the filtration, or spray cans outside, or other rules.
  • Billy has flammable materials in his zone... tsk tsk.
• Can we get rid of the stupid lock safe? What about the janky cash box?
  • No one but Tracy has strong feelings about it, so Tracy will deal with it
• Sue has some chairs that we can maybe get donated -but not too many.
• Suzannah needs help on what she needs to do since she's new and we just assumed she knew everything.
  • For example, what tools need auth classes?
• Nightmare green is a real color.
• Board members are required to love these m-fers, no matter how many bandsaw blades they break.
• Next board meeting: November 15th, 7pm
