Governance - Collective Ownership

Sarah, is your AHA email working?

Is everyone clear on new responsibilities?

What should be the procedure when people can't make it to a board meeting?

Henry Marshall added the new board to the Board page, but didn't know the date of the next election. Has it been determined? If so, what is it?

The last board had a resignation part way through the term which led to certain responsibilities being unaddressed. Is there a mechanism to prevent this problem in the future?

Henry Marshall would like to suggest an action item overview at the end of the meeting.

Equipment

Henry Marshall bought a replacement laser printer at Property Disposition and will place it on indefinite loan to the space. We need to buy ink, it should be ~$100, but we cannot confirm with certainty the printer will work.

> Going to investigate and figure out where we'd normally store [a rolling tool wall]. Larry got a rolling display setup that has pegboard on it, could be used for this? Status report

> Tyler purchased cabinets for sewing/craft room... Eta is end of April. No help needed bringing them in. I'm resurfacing and painting them. If we really want them now, I can deliver them immediately but then will not complete the refinishing. You'd need to hang them as is. Not positive on ETA, weather has been too rainy/cold for drying to work well. Once it's a bit warmer again I can give a better ETA.

> Fire Safety - Breaker box behind laser cutter is continually blocked. We need to maintain access to this.

Electricals in Classroom

Radioshack bins Status Report

In progress

Done this month

Bill moved hist stuff to the classroom and is still sorting it. Does he need help with delivery?
