Due to rise in price of natural gas and inflation rising at 6%, the price per sq ft in the new lease (current lease expires 12/3/21) needs to be adjusted in the new lease

1 or 3 year lease
Tim C will notify the membership

Membership Engagement
Storage Proposal
Proposal by Tim: all new members must attend Space Improvement Day before being allocated storage space
Encourage new members to interact with current members and the BOD
Helps ensure large groups of volunteers
Adequate persuasion/reward for volunteerism
Will be done on the honor system.
If current members want storage space, they must have participated in an SID within the last 2 to 3 months.
Vote to change rule to reflect the above proposal
No action taken, BOD vote slated to occur at December meeting, to be implemented in new year
Final Storage Proposal Voting Terms (need to agree on this to be sent membership-wide)
Ordered List ItemAny member who wants to add storage space will be required to attend a space improvement day, or have already attended a SID in the past 2 or 3 months
If the member cannot make it to space improvement day, they will be required to find and take on a general improvement task around the space (anything from cleaning to working with an area champion on specific tasks). We are leaving this pretty open. As long as people are being excellent and doing what Mr. Rodgers would do, we leave it to individuals to determine what they view as “adequate” effort based on skill, time, etc. This will extend to community-centered tasks as well, like running a workshop, training, or hands-ons for members or the community.
There will be minimal tracking. Like with most rules and regs, the space relies on us keeping ourselves and each other honest
