1. 7:10 - Legal/Financial:
   1. Review Treasurer's Report for February 2014
      1. JoeR indicated that the income shown for February was higher than average and we should not assume it to be typical
      2. It was also noted that the new dues structure will appear on the next report since it began in March, not February
      3. JoeR, Tom and others discussed asking for volunteers to shovel and plow next winter due to the costs of a professional plow service
2. 7:18 - Policies and Procedures:
   1. Revisions to the By-Laws on hold
      1. Tom noted that there will be some necessary changes to the By-Laws when our non-profit application is approved
      2. The previously proposed revisions will be worked into a final draft in the future
   2. 7:20 - Tom suggested that new members undergo a probationary period
      1. Tom indicated that during the probationary period new members would not be allowed to reorganize or modify parts of the building
      2. New members would also need to attend an orientation class
      3. Tom and others noted that all members should attend an orientation class eventually
         1. It was not clear if the Board should track who has and has not attended classes
      4. Tom and Joe discussed requiring both a probationary period and attending orientation class
      5. Brant and Pete discussed how this policy may discourage new members from volunteering
      6. The group noted that no one, current or new, should rearrange tools/machines without consideration for others and a probationary period would help that
      7. Pete, Tom, and Joe noted that if a new member is excited, they should work with others before taking on a huge task or reorganization project by themselves. This would also help them learn from current members and meet new people.
      8. The Board did agree to encourage all members to attend orientation classes
   3. 7:25 - Tom, Brant, and others discussed the need to remind people of the parking pass system
   4. 7:27 - Tom suggested to Pete that ReminderBot be set up to post a “rule of the week” email
      1. Pete and Dan discussed how to accomplish this best
      2. Pete requested a database or list of rules be written to pull from; Brant volunteered
   5. 7:28 - Tom and others suggested the Allen-Bradley LED displays be used as exterior building signs
      1. Tom suggested that the color of the text alternate from red to green depending on the day of the week
      2. The color could be used as a secret code for members to indicate which side of the street to park on
   6. 7:34 - VOTE: Do we want to require a 90-day probationary period for new members?
      1. 6 votes ye and ChrisH abstained
      2. The implementation of this new policy is still to be determined, but the Board agrees on the spirit of the policy and its intent
