Minutes

1.) Harvey: One day pass

  • Not working. Not enough staff to handle it. Get rid of it?
  • Matt: They must arrange with a shop manager or staffer prior to showing up.
  • John N: Stop calling it a day pass, maybe “shop time”?
  • Matt is for eliminating it.
  • General consensus is to get rid of it. BoD will discuss it. 

2.) Harvey, Bob: discuss status of Saw stop table saw

  • Matt brought us up to speed on the SawStop status.
  • Matt shipped the activated cartridges on Friday. They have received them. All cartridges found to have fired due to a fault will be replaced at no cost. We’ll know more next week.

3.) Harvey: discuss the need to clear others that come to the door before letting them into the building

  • Anyone with a fob may let people in through the front door without knowing who they are. Attitude toward letting anyone in is too lax for members who don’t know better.
  • Matt: Someone assumed some people who came by were with the Pima group and let them in. 
  • Matt: Sign at front door? Matt will make a draft sign. 

4.) Back yard update

  • Matt: three parts: right now, rear entrance off of Perry. Second phase is to add new stairs to north bay basement and ADA-compliant ramp. Phase three is other improvements in the back yard (not yet scheduled). First two phases should be finished in about a month. 

5.) Jeremy: South parking lot locks cut and gates left open. Some cars were parked inside the lot. The owner came by Sunday morning and replaced the locks, locking some cars inside. 

  • Only Ace of Escape has permission to park in the lot! 
  • Should we put up weatherproof signs?
  • Jeremy will call Town West about putting up their own signs.

6.) Jeremy: Wood Shop pencil sharpener

  • Triple-T says the pencil sharpener isn’t working very well
  • Can we fix it? Should we replace it?
  • Harvey will take a look at it. 

7.) Jeremy: August electric bill

  • August: $747.47
  • July: $805.00
  • June: $871.99
