Tanju shared a draft document specifying Board Member responsibilities, seeking comments offline.

  • Review of financial statements
  • Review of Membership numbers

- need to ask Steve for report of rfid sys log to assess active door swipes


  • Consideration for expanding the space

2020 starts the 3rd year of our current 3 year lease, good time to explore options

Tanju is not interested in cosigning another 3 year lease Alex asking if Tanju would consider cosigning for another 1-2 yrs and then transferring over to Alex

Reviewed Shaheen's sqft layout and generated a potential estimate of increase rent, looks doable

Other topics:

  • Scholarship membership (financial support) membershipin exchange for cleaning the space

Member additional storage, need to impose a charge for additional sqft - concern is that we don't really have the space. We can get creative about making the space, in particular the industrial shelving near the back door. - challenge is management over sight is needed to manage paid storage
