It was brought up a couple months back that the board would send out the discussion agenda for it's meetings. What is listed in the minutes seems a little sparse, If I recall correctly there was a mention of the intent to discuss ways to increase income as well as a request for comment from the membership/community. Is a more specific Agenda going to be sent out so people can comment or plan to attend?
Could we get a breakdown of recurring monthly costs? I don't think we need one every financial report unless fees/services change. As far as I know it's something along the lines of : $500 - rent $200 - internet & hosting, though other options are being considered $x00 - insurance $xxx - utlities(garbage~$75?, electric, water) Perhaps I'm being unrealistic but do we really envision spending $166/mo on paper towel, glue, and filament? Previously we had a budget less than half that and there seemed to be plenty of each. regards, Andrew L On Thu, Jun 26, 2014 at 1:14 PM, Devin Wolfe <[email protected]> wrote: > Didnt see these go through. > > Meeting Minutes 6/24/2014 > > Moderator: Devin Wolfe > > Note Taker: Steve Radonich IV > > Introductions: > > Angelo - human power technician > > G - charity pins > > Alex - condensated on > > Jimmy - student computer science, no classes this summer > > Dave - radio/TV production > > Andrew - working on a lot of python stuff > > Andy - Goto all the pony parties > > Philip - working on the wall giving us all cancer > > Dennis - Brought to SynHak by G, carpenter > > Becca - makes cookie brownies > > Steve - Take notes > > Devin - mods > > Mike - put peas in stew > > Craig - drives really fast cars today > > Linda - trying to relax after very hard da > > Announcements: > > Philip - Submitted a paragraph to downtown akron partnership that > describes synhak and invites people to come down for the downtown art walk > > Mike - Ordered a USB Radio tuner that can bring in various signals > > Becca - LAN/Retro Game party is the 2nd Saturday of every month, so now > it’s July 12th > > Becca - Wednesday the 16th at 8PM will have a jewlery class > > Andrew - little bit ago sent out another email about CWG, it needs two > co-sponsors to go with it, please look over it and make any corrections as > needed > > Andy - Dance pads were a big hit at the pony conventions, next thing going > is the detroit maker faire if you want to volunteer we can setup a synhak > table.
