It was also proposed that east room floor space be increased from $0.50/SF to $1.00/SF
Vault hallway floor space would remain $0.50/SF
Vault rental rates would remain $1.00/SF rounded up to nearest $10
West room floor space rental rates were also discussed
Shelves, pallets and lockers would remain the same rates
People currently renting floor space in the east room would be asked to move to the vault hallway
Tiffany indicated that all of the current floor space being rented could be accommodated in the vault hallway once screenprinting and printers are relocated to the east room
Lockers could also be relocated
Matt N asked the Board to do more to organize the storage we already have
Ron B said rental fees were necessary to help pay rent when we first started, but wouldn't be needed forever
No discounts or adjustments for people who have floor space in lieu of a pallet or shelf
A half-pallet or an equivalent shelf would be the smallest unit of storage recognized by the Board from now on
Tiffany and others working on Maker Faire offered to clean/reorganize the East Room
VOTE: The Board voted 5 to 1 to approve this floor rate increase and relocation. Tiffany abstained and Joe voted no.
The new rates will take affect December 1, 2014. This will give members 2 months or more to relocate and prepare.
