 +Notes
 +----
 +
 +Petty Cash: 
 +
 +Donations will be pooled and banked.  if you buy bathroom supplies or sodas, you will be reimbursed.  Other consumables may be approved for reimbursement, more to follow.
 +
 +Bylaw Amendment:  Movement that the board may change the bylaws with a unanimous vote. This will be put up for a member vote at the next meeting.
 +
 +Dealing with Bad Behavior:  If it gets brought to the boards attention, a documented warning will be issued.  If three warnings are received, person appears before the board to defend him/herself.  Assuming Bylaws are changed, Board then votes on membership status. Unanimity is needed. 
 +
 +Pan Brake is coming to MMS.
 +
 +The Board took no exception to the creation of a 'MMS store' for materials and supplies, but did not specifically vote on it.
 +
 +The Board thought a garden or other installation should be in place prior to considering any rain barrel projects.
 +
 +Storage Space Shortage:  Can get more lockers and pallet racking from Joe R.  We are taking the lockers now, and probably the pallet racking later.  
 +
 +Joe R has space allocated for plasma cutter build.
 +
 +Air Compressor Lines:  drops in wood shop, metal shop, garage door,  welding station, and laser room.  Estimated Cost $500.  Approved by Board.
 +
 +Parking Lot Stripes:  Discussion Tabled. Price quote needed.
 +
 +Grand Opening:  No one wants to step forward to organize this.  Members! Help!
 +
 +Vote to match Bay View Arts Guilds 50 bucks towards refreshments for BVGN.
 +
 +Clean up day will also be a BBQ next time.  AdamC, Brant, and MattW agreed to help.
