Kitchen build out. What were we planning on discussing about this that we didn’t get a chance to last week?
- Will get permits as we go, and will install electrical infrastructure after building the wall.
- We are zoned C1-2 according to the city of chicago data portal. Are we subject to http://www.cityofchicago.org/content/dam/city/depts/bacp/general/Shared_Kitchen_Fact_Sheet_v.11.14.12.pdf or similar rules if we construct a kitchen? We do not intend to allow members to sell foods that they produce in the space; this would clearly subject us to significant overhead.
Audit status/ Status of repayments / New historical books (Indiana Steve)
Status of money owed by the old landlord. (Tim). Eric will request update on this.
Wiki status: Migration, Backups? (Josh) - Eric, Steve, and Josh have been talking to Singlehop about getting us a cheaper deal on a decent VPS. Any progress?
Get all of the tax returns from School Factory (Eric)
PS:1 Meetup.com has been stolen and is being passed off as another thing now.
- Sacha said he will be talking to her. Any word on that yet?
Electrician to fix not-up-to-code issues. How much can we spend on this? It's (in Eric's opinion) a pre-requisite to doing shop improvements including putting up walls for specific areas. Eric can negotiate with the electrician, bring quote back to the board.
- Board generally approves this. Eric will come back with proper quote (Eric).

Change our address everywhere (List of places here: https://atrium.schoolfactory.org/ps1/node/104580)
inventory and ownership status of old landlord's stuff left on our side.
Check in with Area hosts about their ideas for the tool certification process at their next meeting. (Tim)
information fragmentation (wiki, gdocs, calendars, dropbox, mailing lists)
move the annual meeting to december in the bylaws.
Dwolla as a payment option? Some people hate paypal enough to not join. Don't do this if you can't set up a subscription in it.
Go over the "Things the next board should deal with" list from the meeting of the 15th, it has a lot of stuff we have to be aware of.
