Call to order and reading of Annual Report

David Springs, President

  • Moved to a new space that more than doubles our usable space and gives us room to grow
  • New space doesn’t have each area on top of each other like Douglas
  • We are completely out of Douglas
  • Fire hydrant is now in!
  • Re-paved the curb cut on Mt. Vernon (might be where our fire road has to go)

Paula Pankratz

  • With Covid-19, we’re taking the time to paint and make the place look even nicer before we formally open
  • Working on painting, cleaning out the cobwebs, redoing the woodwork
  • Office area will be turned into a welcome center
    • Have stuff like t-shirts for sale
    • Q&A Area
  • Exterior stuff for CO have been completed
    • Cover for dumpster
    • ADA parking is painted
  • Have a classroom pretty much ready to start hosting classes and seminars
  • Classroom 3 has a beautiful huge dry erase board up

David Springs

  • New building brings new opportunities like
    • adding a radio antenna
    • adding a podcast area
    • a space to document their projects in a professional environment
    • adding a letter press group
    • a lot of excitement for a community garden (even the neighbors want to get this going)
    • working towards a kid friendly maker area
  • We are known as one of Wichita’s greatest kept secrets, we need to have more to show to break that secret
  • New building has also brought in new donors
    • Have had big machine tools and several large barrels have been donated by Century Manufacturing
    • Working with aircraft companies about advertising MakeICT and possibly covering a part of monthly memberships

Financial Report

  • David Springs
    • Still have 337 members, our peak this past year was 427 members
    • Building Progress
      • Jai Chauhan - currently working on getting mechanical drawings done to get HVAC going as well as electrical
      • The mechanical engineering is also looking into electrical drawings
      • Working on a survey to look at the HVAC loads in the building and should give us better cost estimates to finish heating and cooling the rest of the building
      • We’ll then be able to take the signed and sealed drawings to licensed contractors to get the tasks done
      • Would then have a kickoff meeting between the engineer and contractors that would also have a final walkthrough
      • Once the deal is signed to get drawings done, then it will be 3 to 4 weeks before contractors
      • Russell Owens may have another engineer that could help but we need to get him onboard immediately, if anyone else knows of someone, we have to know by Monday
      • If we sign a contractor tomorrow, we might be able to fully use the building in mid-August
      • The Partial CO would allow us to use spaces of the building that are not under construction
        • would require signoffs from fire chief, contractors, the city
        • Would open up the classrooms, would not open the shops
      • would need ALL the bathrooms finished
      • also need rooms and hallways clear of construction debris
      • These are needed to meat health, safety, and life requirements
      • Temporary CO would not allow us to meet life/safety code to use the building
      • Will be needing curtains up soon
      • Will be in need of tables to be welded up soon
    • We are seeking out a loan and are waiting on a multi-facetted appraisal
      • Looks at our current membership and how many we’ve lost from Covid-19
      • All of the modifications we have made to the building, and will make
      • Might not get us the amount we need, but would definitely get us close
  • Edit (6/22/2020) - The funding that was presented did not include the amount that was in our PayPal account.
