Minutes

  1. Steve W: Update on new light controls project
  2. New transformer remote light system for the upper north run of lights. Now there are push button switches next to the front door and Machine Shop entrance that control the lights. 
  3. Breaker #6 is no longer a light switch!
  4. Soon we’ll do the same to the lights on the south side on breakers 2 and 4
  5. Could people at the front door plunge people in the Machine Shop into darkness?
  6. Jeremy: The light above the Machine Shop/Laser Cutter doorway stays on 24/7. 
  7. Mark M: Blue laser cutter update
  8. The laser died Wed afternoon. Thurs morning Don discovered that the power plug shorted, melting the power socket. A heavier power cord was also purchased. The new socket arrived today. They’ll work on it tomorrow. Hopefully, it’ll be fixed by the afternoon. 
  9. John N: Update on maintenancing red laser cutter?
  10. Mark will ask Don for an update
  11. Jeremy B: Extension cords in the Classroom
  12. New retractable extension cords are on the way.
  13. Bob D: New smoke detectors. 
  14. The smoke detector in the bathroom is not networked to the others.
  15. The smoke detector in the KMKR studio has no power in the conduit.
  16. The smoke detectors are powered by the emergency lights in the basement instead of the smoke detectors circuit!
  17. Adrian B: We need to stress proper use of extension cords: “When you’re done, put it away!”
  18. Bob D: Downstairs exit: brace may be an issue. 
  19. Take it off in the morning, put it back at night.
