• Move to Wild Apricot Integrated Pay System
  • Propose move to fully integrate with Wild Apricot and move our PayPal billing system over to WA's Automatic Payment Portal. Engage New Path Consulting for $199 so as not to cancel any existing recurring payments, thereby making the transition seamless.
  • Arguments for: Savings of $360 a year. Removing conflict between WA and PayPal. WA offers automatic money sweeps.
  • If declined, an Ad Hoc committee must be formed to find a replacement software for WA by the end of January.

• COVID Policy for Handling Positive Tests
  • A COVID policy should be put in place to handle positive's in the space with a clear understanding of how to proceed after notification. Policy needs to establish:
    • Who should be notified and by what method.
    • Should keys of possible exposures and positives be turned off until 5 days have passed and a subsequent negative test can be produced?

• Building Renovation Update
  • Heating - The heat is on and so far the policy is to keep the thermostats at 60 when we're not using the rooms and up to whatever we're comfortable with when we are.
  • Plumbing - We still need to connect the circulating pump and fix the pinhole leak in the West chase but otherwise it's complete.
  • Electrical - Is on it's way to being complete. Wire has been run to all of the boxes and now it's just a matter of completing the box caps and inspection.
  • Classroom 1 - The floors have been cleaned and are awaiting a coat of sealer.
  • Ongoing Work - Painting the west hall and if we can painting the shops.
