Notes from the Special Action Committee:


Consent Agenda


Old Business

Pinned Items

Permanent items of the Old Business section carried from month to month.


ToDo Action Items

(Items carried forward from previous meetings, but not up for discussion this month. Recorded here so we don't forget about them.)

  • Identify and maintain (online) lists of SMEs (subject matter experts) for each equipment or space. (No Update)
  • Members are beginning to plan meetups and congregate--Ryan is planning to create and install room capacity placards in the work rooms for informational and safety purposes (supporting continuing COVID and social distancing safety, but also general shop safety). SplatSpace lease provides the total space capacity.


New Business

  • Review and see if anything needs edited from the 2020 Safety Code document https://docs.google.com/document/d/1f7ea6mLwwgSszdfBnTaeJ-CY0YVxUPvaNR-oQjVczDs/edit?pli=1
    • Create a wiki page for this once it is ready
  • Thermostat
    • Russell (building supervisor) said that UDI will send us a quote for a wireless remote thermostat. (Work should be covered under lease, according to Scott.)
    • If cost is reasonably small, we will likely pay for it even though it might be possibly construed as covered by the property owner in our lease agreement.
  • Gift memberships
    • Don't have an official process. Would need to figure out payment (how much?), also how to get the gifted member onboarded with the member contract and sponsorship/vetting?
    • Somewhat complicated to implement, future discussion required if desired.
  • Dorbo
    • https://github.com/splatspace/dorbo
    • Shares circuit with the woodshop, gets tripped sometimes from the woodshop.
    • Discussed options for battery backup. Wifi would also be useful to have on a battery backup.
  • Purchasing new equipment?
  • Incentivization approach to motivate selling the donations earmarked for sale
    • Member can sell items earmarked for sale and take 50% of the total sale price for themselves.
    • Items being sold will also be posted in Slack, available for purchase by members at a discounted price.

Vice-President
