Meeting attendees:
Meeting starts at:
Meeting ends at:
(15 min) Open For All!
(5 min) 501c3!
(5 min) Facilities Management Update - Josh
Awaiting response from Dena Isley at MTBU about:
- Emergency Exit still needs foundation support (it works much better, but it's cold due to lack of proper foundation)
- Bathroom floors need replacing, but can't be done until back area is warmer.
- The emergency exit/back alley has a solid layer of ice on the ground. For safety, can a layer of dirt / salt be put down in the alley?
- HVAC / Duct work is failing, and leaks around alley have caused damage, and continue to do damage (salt/water leaked onto computer/CNC equipment).
- Requested meeting with landlord about patching these up.
- The front door sticks open. Brrrr : )
- The stench smell still comes in from time to time. Last we heard was that Guardian was going to do a follow up inspection / possibly try and pump smoke through the system again to find leaks, but I have not heard an update on this. Do you know what the status of this is?
- Backroom rewiring (should we make a plan for mutli-use of power tools & small back room?)
- BYB Agreement (placeholder until Josh returns) - need something that sets expectations for BYB & Members. With CNC removal all workspaces are in use by BYB.
New carpeting for the win. Need to start vacuuming : )

- Monthly Update
- Any news on Quickbooks Improvements?
