| + | ** Waste Management - we are getting fined again for overflow ($90 each month). Option to get a larger Dumpster, but less pickup days. Reason: because we fill it up almost exclusively on the weekend. We have 5 pickups now, we'll go down to 4. Dumpster is 2 yards from 1.5. Agreed - no board vote needed for this. |
| + | ** A/C; Ventilation - As per Google Groups, repair person is coming in. $95 diagnostic fee; waived in repair cost. Seasonal maintenance being considered. General operations team can handle stuff like this (plus heaters) working. No board vote needed for approval. Spray booth - funding for the remainder of the construction - approx $600-700. Board approval to fund. We are reconciling what was spent; funding is there; voting in a safety net ($600) and funding has to be carried over to this year. |
| + | ** Safety and Operations Team -- discussion. Vote passed to establish a Safety and Operations Team. Next steps: connect and convene team. |
| + | ** Election Announcement - MA: November 5 date was announced. Drum up excitement. By October 5, board members will let the Board know if they're running or not. If we have 3+ spots open, KB suggests "turbo mode" of "leadership encouragement event". Make appeal to larger than Google Groups. Discussed ways to get the word out about nominating people. Make a form- electronic and paper. |
