6. Updates from outside board meetings

The board received notice of a smoke incident Friday 2/26/21. The board accessed the camera access to trace the location of the smoke. Discovered it to a fail unit heater on the northwest corner of the shop. Andrew Morris has locked this failed unit at the circuit breaker. Key is in the Gen Ops lock box. We are now down to two heaters. All heaters need to be cleaned and inspected. This work can hold off until April. If insulation is weak they may need to be replaced.

The board discussed the possibility for NFP 72 for smoke alarms. Andrew Morris and Joe expressed that there may be liability concerns. Probably should talk our lawyer and insurance company. Andrew Morris says that our location and operation is a class F applicancy which doesn't require a fire alarm system per city code. David thought maybe getting a nest as a temporary system. Joe will be reaching out to fire company to get estimate.
