Minutes

• Purgatory
• Area Wardens
  • Jon - Hasn't been able to buy anything new yet.
  • Woodworking (glue, clamps) ~$45
  • CNC endmills, bolts and stuff
• Finances
  • $26,990.80 between Paypal and Bank
  • Membership Has Grown From 55 to 67** $2500/mo incoming from membership
• Membership Level Clarification
  • Elite membership is becoming more trouble than it is worth. Was originally intended for students and a lot of people have signed up when they are not students.
  • Jon has changed the wording on the main Hive13 website so that's it's more clear that it's students only
  • Elite members contribute 14% of total revenue, Regular Members contribute around 55% total revenue
  • Should we consider changing membership levels based on income?
  • Main issue is confusion on what student/elite levels actually are. We need to make clear to every member or potential member what our membership levels/prices are.
  • Jon will send out a message to leadership.
  • Need to put the feelers out on how people feel about this and write up an addendum to be voted on during the next election cycle (July 21st)
• Website Migration
  • No - Ryan
• Storage Boxes
  • Had first build night for boxes. Elly has met her deadline!
  • A few more store box build nights are planned. You can learn the basics of how to use the CNC (but will not be certified to use it).
  • Need to encourage new members to build a box instead of taking storage space over by Fablab
  • We'll revisit this after elections, the conversation about what to do with current storage area
• Elections
  • Need to announce elections (July 21st) to membership at large
• Planning For The Future
  • Open House
    • We should have an open house after elections. We should have at least two Saturday cleanup days preceeding open house.
    • This will happen after a new board/officers have been elected, so this is something that they will need to revisit.
• Jon will put the accuris laser cutter on craigslist if everyone is OK with that.
  • No one has any problems with this
