Julie Harris Old Lobby The old lobby is an eyesore on tours and is always used for storage. Paint and decorate and allow Vector to put arcade/pinball machines and other games in the old lobby. From the meeting with Vector, there are more than enough ideas to improve the lobby significantly: 1) There is enough space for approximately 7 arcades/pinball machines. Attendees of the meeting listed 4 arcade/pinball machines that they would be willing to put in the lobby and believed they could generate enough interest for more machines if needed. 2) There was interest in working on a DMS MAME Cabinet

Comments: Art asked for time to update the lights in that area.
Comment: Art Suggest changing security switch for lights into a toggle. Motion to approve DM loaning the space temporarily to Vector for an arcade / game room use. Moved: Julie, 2nd James Uninamious Passed
 PR/Tours no
Julie Harris Online Classes It can take time for new members to receive training and some members become frustrated and quit. Pay a bounty for online certification classes.
  • $100/tool
  • Separate from the honorarium program
  • This is for certification/required training classes only.
  • Process: Receive approval from the committee chair. Then the treasurer and education coordinator (or president if there is no education coordinator) will need to approve before work begins. After the course is complete, the chair and education coordinator/president will approve the new class before it is paid by the treasurer.

Justin moves to approve as written John 2nd Unanimous

Jack Smith Air line repairs Review bid info for air line improvements Hello board members,
I have finally finished totalizing the cost & design for the replacement of the blue infamous bursting at the seams airline… This replaces everything that is existing, while adding extra drops in strategic locations. In the price I have put in an estimation of renting an electrical pipe threader to speed the process up. The intent is to finish in about 2 weekends with volunteers, however I planned for the worst & just put the estimate for a full month of having the threader. I will have an actual cut list of the piping lengths to speed the process up once we start the project. The intent is if I am able to get enough volunteers to break up into teams to allow for each team to make the most of our time.
  • All-Tex Pipe 2605.66
  • Threader Rental Month 540/ Week 180
  • New Air chucks 300
  • Sammy hangers 150
  • Air hose leads for misc equipment 90
  • Pipe Marker 75
  • Misc materials 240
Total cost comes to about 4000.00, I did round up on some of the items. The pipe & fittings pricing is good for 30 days from the 13th. Those items were also mostly in-stock. I did also round up on some other other items incase the price should go up more.
Justin moves to approve up to 4500 spend to replace the pex air lines per attached material. 2nd - James Unanimous.
 Functionality of the air line no
Jack Smith Honorarium clarification Clarify per calendar year Currently says per year, clarify as per calendar year
