Draft Minutes of Last Meeting

Purchasing of a laser cutter was tabled for new business at next meeting.

Consent Agenda for 5/11/2013

  • Do we pay Hamilton Tech $2500 for rent from January-May?
  • Do we pay Hamilton Tech $500 for rent each month thereafter?
  • Do we want to convert the reception area to a lounge/hangout area?
  • Do we want to spend about $50 on casting materials to prototype a chocolate fundraiser?
  • Do we want to buy a laser cutter?
    • Do we want to by the wklaser (Total Cost: $4000)
    • Do we want to buy the Blacktoo ($1800)?
  • Sign the petition and vote on amending our constitution to allow some form of E-Voting.
    • As of 5/10/2013, no petition has been circulated.
  • We have at least 2 new members that want to become voting members. Anyone wanting to become a voting member must come to at least 75% of the monthly meetings and be sponsored by an existing voting member.
  • Vote on approving more money towards the Screen-printing budget. We now have new plastisol screen-printing supplies and ink, but the original estimate of needing $100 for making new t-shirts was a bit low (I already spent the entire budget on supplies and we don't have any t-shirts). I propose we allocate another ~$50-75 towards actually purchasing our substrates, unless everyone wants to have to provide their own blank t-shirt for their free Co-Lab Shirt upon sign-up (laaame). We'll get dark colored shirts of various sizes, maybe polos, baby dolls, reusable grocery sacks, and other items that people would be interested in purchasing from the Co-Lab in addition to their 1 freebie.
  • Karl Kester is requesting that his costs for the CnC Enclosure can go towards his dues.
    • Karl's receipts total $231.54 + $135 in cash.
  • Neal Meeker would like one of the vacuums currently in use for the CnC mill to be replaced, as the yellow vacuum is his personal vacuum.
    • Estimated replacement cost is $50.
