• August Items

ACTION ITEM - Nick R. will work with Tyler W., Nate Y., Brandon D., Alec M. for a user-account solution for computer log-ins.

Not addressed yet. Larry raises the point that we will need to soon consider replacing our existing machines.

• SEPTEMBER ITEMS
• ACTION ITEM - From Alec M. - Election process needs to be documented clearly so members know the consequences of the point system.

Nate will document this in a central location for future Board Members. OR, use an alternative, more direct voting process. - Esty (topic for All-Members Meeting Sun. Aug. 23rd).

Nate wrote Esty an email about this -- could just port this more or less directly to the Wiki. Esty will email Nate with whatever holes are left in the documentation process.

• ACTION ITEM - From Jacob M. - What about a "Bounty Board"? Put up in the space offering prizes for doing various duties in AHA (ie. prizes). Approved by 2 Board members. - Larry W.

Waiting on room to be made by the front desk.

• ACTION ITEM - Jacob M. - should AHA make a proposal to Sylvia's for a non-profit rent write-off for Sylvia's.

Alec suggests creating a proposal. Larry or Jacob to write this? Larry maybe can work with Dena?

Nothing received yet. This is probably not going to work since they are showing off the Sylvia's space.

(30m) New Business

What to do with fish tank when demolishing the front desk, presumably Saturday? Donnie will talk to Greg about this tonight. Larry offered to donate 2x4s to hold the tank if needed.
