Flammables Cabinet Vote (to restore general funds with emergency funds from this emergency purchase last year) -- 6 for, 0 against (Paul Gossen absent)

COVID-19 space report -- supplies, state of space all good (report via Kevin)

Jim requested strict definition of current membership to make his job work
ensuing discussion of “membership in good standing” ; will be resolved at future meeting
- interjection: woodshop heater is NOT working; Andy will look at it, email landlords for possible assistance
Membership report -- (via Tiffany):
About 63 members in good standing as of time of election
Will be sending PEE (Post Election Email) to members who haven’t voted for 2 consecutive years
Made charts using Pike13 data vs. financial data and got different membership numbers -- indicates calendar-based payment fluctuations
Reported incorrect status of budget last year because we didn’t know correct number of members; it had been below 68 for three consecutive months, and was thus void
In response to proposed mask rule: Steff would like info about baseline LVL1 response to COVID-19 (Raj will help), then feedback from membership
Danielle -- will create virtual events calendar
Laser issue; people aren’t turning on new airflow system, and it is ruining lenses -- vote was held to disable laser until problem resolved -- 6 for, 1 against (Paul)
Steff will write an email to the membership after surveying the situation and prior to the disabling
Roundtable: discussed administrative actions necessary for changing LVL1 board, moving forward
