It was decided that Brant should move forward with the trash removal option he identified from Veolia, but we will not use their recycling services, as we can do that on our own (and save money in the process.) | It was decided that Brant should move forward with the trash removal option he identified from Veolia, but we will not use their recycling services, as we can do that on our own (and save money in the process.) | ||

Tom G. was present and provided an update on the building progress. The roof repairs should start very soon, and when complete, preparing the floor in the shop area will be the next large task.

jason g. says the member software is 99% done and fully functional for adding new members. All Board Members should be able to add a new member using the software. Instructions are on the wiki.

Member storage was discussed. Squares will most likely be rented at $50 per square. This will allow larger projects like boats/cars to be worked on by members. We also discussed vaults and their pricing, and pallet, locker, shelf, cart options. We need to determine and vote on any storage options before presenting to the members. Pallets will be for full-time members only, and must be within 40” wide x 48” deep x 36” tall (including the pallet.) Nothing can stick out past that size envelope. Carts will be 30” deep x 48“ wide x 36” (including wheels.) Carts will be limited to shop areas only, and not allowed in the carpeted/ | Member storage was discussed.

It was decided that the concrete floor needs to be sealed to protect it from damage and stains. A dollar amount for staining the floor needs to be determined so we can move forward with the sealing. Rich and Tom will determine this, and jason will write a check. | It was decided that the concrete floor needs to be sealed to protect it from damage and stains.

Jason H. brought up the possibility of holding an Art Milwaukee “Art Jamboree” event at the Lenox location in March or April. It’s all in the early planning stages, so nothing it set yet, but he wanted to get the Board’s opinion on it. The Board seemed to be in favor of such an event. | Jason H. brought up the possibility of holding an Art Milwaukee “Art Jamboree” event at the Lenox location in March or April.
