President?

  • Does it matter than Dave S is currently out of commission for presidential duties?
    • Overall conclusion - no. Has stated he intends to return once he has healed from surgery / on less drugs which will be prior to election for next year
    • Chief onboarder for new members - we'll pick up the slack
    • No precedent for no president (lol) but we've had leadership mentally check out before and picked up slack - functionally this is no different.
    • No need to elect/appoint a stand in

Innovation Center

  • Going to have another get together with them in March

Access Control

  • Wesselman has installed camera outside RFID door
    • suggest to him to add camera to loading dock stair door - Lisa found it to be unlocked 2/8/21. Others have noticed the same
  • RFID is logging to the database, has sensor - Hodapp is making progress.
    • Setting up standardized MQTT protocol to make things significantly more efficient for our type of organization.
    • Gives better communication infrastructure
    • Easy setup with subscription
    • Putting together a dashboard
  • Next sensor is for main sliding door
  • John and Chris put woodshop cameras up and they're now available on Spy.
  • Still want doorbell

Safety Concerns / Craft Stove

  • Discussions being had with Todd & Kevin regarding safety concerns
  • Main concerns seem to boil down to
    • Need for ventilation (this is agreed upon by T&K)
    • Unattended use (ie; 24 hrs drying wood, etc)
    • Appropriate materials (ie; fumes from plastic - again, ventilation is key.)
      • Lots of documentation already created for stove
      • Will need to have guidelines as to what can and can't be "cooked" in it w/o ventilation
      • Comprehensive Wiki page will likely address a lot of concerns
    • Smoke alarm
  • Future Project Safety Concerns
    • Safety Committee
      • With new members, larger space, new ideas, and even existing tools, safety needs to be addressed (ie; woodshop has some scary shit)
      • John to present to general membership in 2/9 meeting / call for anyone interested in helping

Blowers

  • How many more do we need?
    • As many as we can get
  • Rick's heating and cooling has provided blowers as they just toss their old ones

Treasurer Update

  • Jim created fairly comprehensive talking points in regards to finances
  • General breakdown; 1 month at 2929 compared to 1 month at 2701
    • Still cash positive
    • Could drop down to 74 members and still pay fixed expenses
    • Grew to 120 we'd clear same amount monthly as we had in 2929
    • We're comfortable
  • Also created document with actual bank acct #s
  • Open finance website
    • Would like to be able to create 7th member category of +1

Gas Filling

  • We are going to go through more of this.
  • Looking at episodic $300+ expenses that would eat entire warden budget
  • Can't really allocate usage
    • Or can we? Pulsa
    • How are we not documenting when tanks are being switched out
      • Clipboard on them ASAP for basic record keeping

Misc

  • Jim and John been assetting the heck out of the space
  • Drew has started the great migration
  • The wiki needs some love
