Authorizations

    • Prior:
      • Require people to resubmit the access policies?
      • Designate what that class is for any authorizations.
      • Patrick will bring this up at the next area lead meeting.
      • Doug mentions possibly making/giving stickers
      • Badge reader with name/active and authorization (Would be cool based with Patrick)
        • Mention of the wiki and issues with it being public
        • Couple of ideas with regard to it being public or non-public, as a general list
        • Emergency contact lookup, in an emergency would not be germane as 911 would be the call.
        • Authorization for tool maintenance? Aaron will bring up at Area Leads meeting.
          • Revisit authorizations for tools? (Specifically CNC tools, cnc sublead?)

@DECISION: Open House will charge a $10 booth fee only

Maker May I would like to have an outdoor vendor Event June 4th 10-2. We would have 30 makers and preview one maker each day on our social media leading up to the event. We would need to plan this out over the next 3 week, solicit makers over the month of April, and start promotion May 1st. I would follow the state rules for vending and use our current contract with some modifications. I would charge $50 per vendor up to 30 vendors. I would like 33% of the proceeds to cover my time to create and promote on social media, with a maximum of $500 to me. If we get 30 vendors the take for the space would be $1000.

  • Full Compensation would be contingent on there being 30.
  • This would be under it’s own approval and not under the consignment policy.
  • Contingent on permit & zoning
  • Plan on weather/contract
