Minutes

  • Announcements/new business:
  • Operations:
    • PC upgrades: buy new vs. upgrade (i.e. more RAM/switch to SSD)? - James K./Nate Y.
      • Upgrading might prove to be more expensive than buying since older parts (DDR3) have actually gone up in price
      • Donated machine instead of buying?
      • Use existing Mac Mini for the public PC
      • https://www.ebay.com/itm/285309742776 as an example of new PCs
    • Access control: pivot to off-the-shelf Unifi solution? - James K./Nate Y.
      • We should test out some of the higher-end Unifi cameras for the main entrance, to control the number of alerts.
      • Access control -- we will order some Unifi gear at the beginning of 2024, could roll into the fundraiser.
  • Financial:
  • Membership:
    • Volunteering SOP/color-coded task list?
    • Election updates - James K.
    • Membership tracking
  • Outreach:
    • Future grants?
      • Michigan Arts and Culture Council (MACC)
        • $5 million total available, up to $250,000 per grant
        • Due Wednesday, December 13, 2023, before 5:00 pm ET
        • Haven't looked too closely at this one to see if we are eligible
      • Free-form MEDC grant
      • SA2T (Sustaining Ann Arbor Together) - Sarah B.
      • SPARK cooperation, can we give them more bang for their buck? - David G.
    • Upcoming events:
      • End of the year fundraiser:
        • CiviCRM fundraising management - Sarah B.
        • Events: Winter Workshop, Gift-repairsday, 14th Anniversary party
          • Regulations for buying/selling Winter Workshop kits - Sarah B.
            • Materials for the kits may be sales tax exempt. If we want to do this, need to check deeper on regulations & fill out MI Form 3372 to give to retailers
            • The kits count as "tangible personal property," but because we won't do over $10,000 in sales or $25,000 in aggregate sales, MI regs say we don't have to charge sales tax
            • What we're proposing will not end up under Unrelated Business Income Tax because this is a short term sale related to a fundraiser
          • Social media planning for events - Sarah B.
    • Future goals & pitch deck
  • Education:
  • 2024 education goals/classes
