Officer's reports:
Secretary
The Secretary notes that since it has been over a month since we changed the board meeting dates to the first and third Tuesdays of the month this is the first regular board meeting on our new schedule.
Treasurer
Our annual report to the state is on hold because the website is down but we will submit a paper report instead. Weston agreed to become our new registered agent. Who are the signers on the savings account and what is the progress on getting a checking? Darrell and Rick. No progress on checking we should do that.
Rick was going to find out if we paid first and last did we? Rick updated us with the fact that we have not paid a last month but we did pay a deposit.
Cleaning up member storage:
It's messy right now. Weston proposes putting everyones stuff into banker boxes. Also the random supplies in that area should find a new home. The intention is for these changes to happen during the next shop cleanup date, sometimes known as Hack Your Hackerspace!
Cleanup Pick-a-Part
Weston suggests to by shelving and tubs to help organize the pick a part area. Others want to save money and just use whatever can be found or donated. Though we all agree that we should make an effort to get it organized.
Discuss AV budget
Weston donated a nice computer and monitor for an AV. Would like EMS to buy a projector, It was agreed that we need one especially for classes. Minimum specs would be XVGA (1024x768) at 3000 Lumens, though we might do better than that if we can get a used projector on Ebay.
