Old Business

• Ham Shack Proposal (Morgan via Bandit)
  • 3 possible locations : Mission Control, Back of Electronics, Darren has identified cubicles at auction, maybe put one in room 49 for a location of the ham shack?
    • Requirements
      • Power conditioned 110V
      • Enough space for a PC, the radio, some desk space, some shelves, maybe two desks worth of space?
      • Slight Sound proofing needed.
      • Tower or some way to mount an antenna
    • Q. on if we need to get landlord permission or not to mount an antenna?
      • The shorter the run for an antenna the better, nearer proximity to corner of the building
    • Probably used 2-3 times a month?
    • MissionControl (when it had a working PC) was very good use as an office space, but we think it could serve both purposes
    • Suggested to go forth with dual purpose of the room 11 (formerly mission control)

• Side discussion: both couches could use a cleaning

• Space Cadets’ wiki page (JT) - not discussed at this meeting

New Business

• East Attic (Batcave, hallway, poop deck)
  • Square footage not included in the lease, not occupiable
  • It need to not “look” occupied for the occupancy permit & the fire marshal
  • Only one fire egress, also a problem
  • Short answer: can only be used for storage or for nothing
  • Should members be allowed to store there?
  • Should we charge for storage there?
  • Should we propose to the board to use that space as official storage space, and in what fashion? Allocation to each member, how much, rental storage space?
  • Storage room #7 (Ray)
    • HP5500PS large printer - Print heads - some have come in, still waiting on some
    • Vinyl Cutter rebuild
    • Storage of these machines
    • Empty room #7 of computer stuff & monitors, etc. & store these items in there
    • Some discussion took place on use of room #7
    • Proposed Move computer stuff from 7 to 5, and move room 11 to 7 & room 7 to 11

• Proposal: Ham Shack in room 11 with dual purpose, keeping the office use of that room, and run a line to the roof for an antenna
  • (8) yes, (1) abstain, (0) no - Proposal passed
• Couch Cleaning: Charel & JT both have some equipment that may help with cleaning these items
• Proposal: send direct email to Bandit with “Space Cadets” in the subject line your wish list & suggestions for possible use of storage in the east attic. Bandit to send email to the space cadets list soliciting input
• Proposal (Aaron):
  • Make Room 11 the print room with Vinyl Cutter & Large Format printer
  • Make room 7 the Ham Shack/Officespace
  • As necessary relocate storage items from 7 into a new home
