I'd like to collect idea's about what '''NEW''' offerings we might add if we had additional space. Here are some I've heard mentioned and some of my own. All ideas welcome, discussion of merits can happen elsewhere.[[User:Mskilton|Mskilton]] ([[User talk:Mskilton|talk]]) 07:44, 22 November 2015 (CST)

For one of the most important decisions the membership will make in years, I think a more descriptive name for this vote proposal is appropriate. I also think it would be helpful if the background when through a bit of analysis of the economic impact of taking over 3517, including whether prudence would dictate smaller area budgets going forward, increased insurance premiums notwithstanding that PS1's policy is currently void because it's not actually a not-for-profit for tax purposes, increased energy costs, maintenance, etc. [[User:Jason|Jason]] ([[User talk:Jason|talk]]) 14:31, 27 November 2015 (CST)
:We asked our insurance broker two weeks ago if expanding to the space next door would increase our premiums at all. He said it would not because our premiums are not based on the amount of square footage we occupy, but more based on the number of members we have. From what I understand, he often gives us conflicting information at different times, so this information could be wrong, but it's the best information we have to go on at this time.

:There was some discussion in [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pumping-station-one/LThuBS_4asY here] about how this might increase our costs. There's also a lot more good discussion [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pumping-station-one/SLwryiS_2bI here] specifically addressing our current and future financial situation. Energy costs are specifically mentioned in both of those threads. [[User:Justin|Justin]] ([[User talk:Justin|talk]])
