• Meeting called to order by Tim at 07:03PM
• Minutes approved by 7 of 7 of present

• Update from Jeff M

• Voluntary covid suspensions are being extended until September 2021.
• Members need to let us know if they intend to suspend

Update

1. Survey Results:
   * 155 respondents
   * 91% of reporting members are vaccinated
   * Completely Anti Mask: 4
   * Masks should be optional: 4
   * Completely Pro Mask: 9
   * There should be vaccine verification: 3
   * General Sentiment is split, with more in favor of masks than not

2. Open for Member Feedback 
   * Most member feedback supported following the CDC and City of Milwaukee recent Covid updates; with ideas 
     supporting members that want to wear a mask/want other members to wear a mask.

3. Board Discussion 
   * Important issue that requires a member vote.
   * 2 options:
     * Stay the course with current protocols
     * Offer an updated protocol based on current science and CDC guidelines:
       * 1) Vaccinated members: masks are optional (exceptions being: when "Masks Mandatory" posted in a 
         meeting or class invitation, and #3 and #4 below)
         Always bring a mask with you
         Vaccinated defined as two weeks after receiving the J&J vaccine or 2nd shot of Pfizer or Moderna 
         vaccine.

         2) Non-vaccinated members: masks are mandatory when inside Lennox and Norwich buildings at all times. 
         Managed through honesty, self policing, and doing the right thing for the benefit of all members

         3) If you enter a work area (e.g. woodshop) and a member already in the work area is wearing a mask, 
         as a courtesy, put your mask on. You may ask the member if you may take your mask off; follow their 
         request. 

         4) Trainers will determine the protocol they are most comfortable with for the training session (e.g. 
         # of attendees, trainee must be vaccinated, must wear a mask, etc) and will communicate their protocol 
         prior to the training session. Remember, these are volunteers sharing their time and expertise.

4. Reopen for member discussion
   * Continued discussion and improvement on Option 2 to ensure inclusion of members' needs.

5. Vote or Decision
   * Board will finalize the second option and bring to member vote salted for late May, prior to June 1st City of Milwaukee Covid Protocol update. 

• Maker Faire Milwaukee has a set date of Sept 24th-26th, 2021
  • Seeking large-commitment volunteers for large responsibilities

Potential changes:

1. Touring both Buildings
   1. How do we get guests to tour Lenox? Sunday tours have been limiting
      1. Increase max tour size?
      2. Change tour date?
2. Sign-up Process:
   1. Ask for photo identification (not for a copy, but for verification of sign up sheet)
3. Give self-signup another go
   1. Send potential members a link to the new member video and to a new member quiz
   2. Successfully completing the quiz gives you a password to access the new member signup form

Update

1. Post Board Members in both buildings during public meetings; tours right after the meeting at each location; signups happen in Lennox at 7:30
2. Up the minimum # of visits (1 Lennox, 1 Norwich, one to get signed up)
3. For the next 4 weeks, Bill and Chris will be trained by Tim
4. After that, we go off a schedule for signups
