ADA Renovations

• Ray has an ADA architect coming in next Tuesday during the open house. It's another option in addition to the other consultants he's brought in. Plan is to choose one of the options afterwards.

Bylaws committee

• pretty close to putting out the current DRC version for review
• Need to think about how it works with existing bylaws. Proposed bylaws address the DRC, but need a short-term solution t
  • Possibly ask DRC to make a suggestion to board + 1, which will then approve or reject the proposed solution
    • Yep, that sounds good.
