O&D Meeting 04/19/2022
Lawsuit Update
LVL1 was served with a summons to appear in small claims court May 11, 2022 at 1:00pm. The claim was filed against us by Kenneth Butler. He claims LVL1 did not allow him sufficient time or access to the space to remove his personal property. He also claims ownership of a drink vending machine donated to us by FirstBuild. (See March O&D minutes for our letter to him requesting he remove him property and how to do so.)
Butler arranged to come to the space April 15, the last day of the period we allowed him, to retrieve his items. He was met at the space removed a snack vending machine only leaving several other items. He was not allowed to remove the FirstBuild-donated machine.

- Michael – looking for better ewaste resource. Andy: great, that but should be a one-off effort – we need to get out of having to deal with ewaste and ‘donations’ at all.
