Questions
- What is Shelly doing with all the basil leaves?
- Making pesto!
- Do you give tours after the meeting?
- Yep, it's going to happen in a few minutes.
Votes
- Would the contractor be installing the materials?
- Yes
- Can we add zones?
- Not sure - ask Michael Skilton
- If there's extra money from the vote, it would be nice to add zones
- Who is pulling the permits?
- Contractor
- Will this delay us moving into the new space?
- Good question, not sure
- Ken's guess is it would be 2-3 days max for swapout, and space is usable at night (lights are on)
- Regardless, if there are not lights, we would not move into the space, so this work needs to happen
- Is there a schedule?
- Not yet, no contract yet
- What is the payback time?
- Estimated at 1.42 years, based on 8.5 hours per day (3,120 hours a day)
- Our usage is probably higher, so payback time would be shorther
- Even if it's twice as long as this estimate from the contractor, our lease is for five years.
- Payback is based on the $2500 amount; if landlord chips in the up to $1000 promised, payback could be faster
- Issue passes, 38 votes in favor, 0 against, 0 abstain
Tour
Who wants to give a tour?
- Thanks Lyn for giving a tour!
