- Open Discussion
Action Item Status
- Tyler S. - 3D Printer sign under construction, more to follow
- Art Night has a pulse again thanks to the AHA Meet-up
- AM - Individual member space utilization (how much is allowed and for how long?) - Cleanup always expected. Larger items should be labelled. We are NOT a quick storage site so consensus being a) label personal stuff b) duration beyond 1 month should either be space paid for OR members notified goods at risk of dispersal (Ops to notify). 4/5 Directors agreed with this. Make it so.

Election Night Member Survey Results
- Survey Results (35 members participated) show
- Top 5 reason members are here;
- to gain access to tools, equipment, the internet - be part of a community of people like me - to gain new knowledge - to relax in a friendly environment - to be inspired by others
- Top things that need improving
- have more social events - add more classes - create partnerships with more small businesses - pay someone to do the cleaning - invite artists, makers and hackers to speak here
- Biggest thing to fix? Our workspace (8 members called some area the biggest problem);
- Not enough space in a basement. - Move above ground (mentioned twice) - Visibility - people seeing the space. - No windows - The bathrooms - No natural light - Back room shop is too small.
- Biggest issue facing this Board and the next Board is to address AHA's lease: Stay, Expand to Sylvia's or Leave...?
