RT

  • [| Request for reimbursement by Shellie] Justin will write her a check
  • #5825 Ray Doeksen to reimburse money@ for $138.03
    • Ray will justify his expenses or present his receipts tonight.
  • #5856 Burton requesting points for Ken (and spending authority/PEX, and an assistant)
    • Requests we a) recognize Ken's work with member points, b) Pex card, c) volunteer work
    • If we were to give him a pex card, it would have to be under another area host, or we'd need a vote to devote some budget to his card
    • The kind of electrical work that he's been doing was under buildout, in general it would likely go under general area budget
    • Let's gather the information about what kind of budget he might need, aim to have a board vote to create the position
    • Jennie will reach out to Ken and respond to Burton
  • #5859 Trygve requesting point(s).
    • Trygve granted two points by unanimous votes
  • #5874 Andrew requesting discussion on security cameras.
    • What's the status of the security cameras?
    • We don't have a current policy about cameras in general
    • Our current insurance policy does not cover against theft (though the board is working on that)
    • Andrew will install

New Business

  • Disposed of printer issue.
    • Should this be referred to the formal process (board plus one)
    • Should we issue a statement addressing this?
    • In process of moving CNC area, people thought the printer was broken and so put it out in the alley
    • Area host (Andrew) frustration is that people did not come forward to say that they had moved the printer
    • Andrew is still investigating, but his sense is that while motivations are unclear, the printer was not tossed maliciously.
    • Regardless, the situation is frustrating.
    • Printer also did not have an equipment label, though this doesn't excuse the action
    • Board will let Andrew finish investigating
  • Update hosted areas. Proposed map https://drive.google.com/a/pumpingstationone.org/file/d/0BxCkhnR2ZsJHaW9JUnVMUEpFSEU/view?usp=sharing
    • Current map as of September 2016: [[2]]
      • Change would remove the tool cage area
      • Proposed map doesn't include moved location of small metals, but does include the new woodshop location
      • Let's vote at the next meeting on a map with the new small metals location included
  • Membership Audit followup
  • Discussion of end of term feedback / retrospective
    • Simon will send out survey info
  • CNC volunteer authorizer
