The main purpose of this vote is twofold: take advantage of space that became available during the space expansion and reinstate the expired kitchen renovation budget with some modifications. One space issue that has become evident is the disconnect between the kitchen and the lounge, so this vote seeks to provide options for the membership to decide if the Kitchen Area should move over to occupy what was once slotted to be the small metals area. This area is now officially general area space, and is now being occupied by cold metals, and both areas are in agreement with the possible move.

The main purpose of this vote is twofold: take advantage of space that became available during the space expansion and allow the use of funds for a renovation budget. A former renovation budget was unused due to the space expansion effors; this new renovation budget mirrors the previous budget with some modifications. One space issue that has become evident is the disconnect between the kitchen and the lounge. This vote seeks to make a more fluid space for the membership by directly connecting the kitchen and lounge, without having to pass through another area. This move is accomplished by taking up some space originally intended for small metals, is considered part of the general area, and is now being occupied by cold metals. Both General area and Cold Metals  are in agreement with the possible move.

Plans are provided showing the two different floor layouts that may occur should one of the proposed plans in this vote pass. This vote is to decide if we should pursue a new plan A over the old plan B when the renovation takes place. This vote also includes a budget valid for either of the proposed plans.

Plans are provided showing the two different floor layouts. This vote calls for Plan A to be implemented with the provision of an appropriate budget. Plan B, in comparison, is the current kitchen area renovated with the same equipment and infrastructure as the space the new proposed space.

====Beer Church====

====Beer Church====

The long-standing beer church has housed all of it's equipment and fermentation chamber in the kitchen area. The kitchen area no longer has a desire to host beer church within its confines and would like to transfer it to the General area (for which there is support in General Area). At some point during the expansion some part of Beer church was partially displaced to the dock area which has been determined to be an unsuitable location. All of beer church will be housed in a specific location withing the General area depending on which plan is chosen. In plan A beer church will be consolidated to the fermentation chamber's current wall with a total depth of 3 ft from the wall from the kitchen doorway to the north wall. In plan B beer church will move on the short outside wall of the kitchen from the outside corner of the kitchen to the outside of the kitchen pass-through ust out
