Item 177. Grex Board Meeting minutes, February 27, 2003 Anne Perry (mooncat) Fri, Feb 28, 2003 (14:02). 62 lines, 3 responses. Attending Board Members: Mary, Aruba, Mooncat, Other, Flem, Gelinas Attending Non-Board Members: Keesan, JDeigert, Steve and Glenda 1. Opening Gavel: 7:35 pm 2. Treasurer’s Report: In January we took in $542 and paid out $458, so far in February we have taken in $440. Likely we will be in the black for February. There was on new member in January and 1, maybe two in February. We have 82 members currently, 79 are paid up. Noted that from April through September last year we were in the red and that we are coming up on that ‘season’ again. 3. Staff Report- suspended until later in the meeting. 5. Fundraiser: so far we have $1024 earmarked for the components for the new machine. Need to enter an item in regards to raising the rest of the funds. 4. Steve reports that some of the original costs that he had reported have come down. A full list of the components to be purchased is elsewhere in coop and garage. 5. Back to raising funds: Perhaps take half of the money still needed (after the $1024 already earmarked) from the general fund and have a fund raiser to raise the rest of the money. Gelinas motioned that: We authorize staff up to $2250 for the purchase of components for the next Grex. Other seconded In Favor: 6, Against: 0, Abstaining: 0 (6 board members present) In terms of the fundraiser, should we set a goal of how much money we’re hoping to take in? Aruba motioned that: We authorize a fundraiser to help raise money for the new machine. Mary seconded. In favor: 6, Against: 0, Abstaining: 0 3. Staff Report: We still have continuing low level vandal activity, and the same boring (thank goodness!) stability. The ongoing problems we are having with mail are still ongoing, though nothing has gotten worse. Dang installed a CVS package. MDW is currently working with Kerberos. The Staff/Board meeting has been rescheduled to March 22nd, from March 15th. 6. Phone Lines/ Centrex- postponed until next month. 8. New Business: Other followed up with the Michigan Attorney General’s office about filing a criminal complaint against those spammers using cyberspace.org as their return address. After filing a complaint there is little obligation on our side- save perhaps for potentially needing someone to testify should things go that far. Other will continue to follow up on this. 7. Schedule next meeting: April 7th, Kids Room at Zingerman’s Next Door. 9. Closing Gavel: 9:04 pm 3 responses total. ---------- (177) #1 Mary Remmers (mary) Wed, Mar 5, 2003 (08:51). 7 lines. I'd like to suggest we change the date of the next BOD meeting to Monday, March 31st. We won't be able to meet at Zing's on April 7th, as the entire upstairs area will be in use, by Zing's, for staff training. If I remember correctly March 31st worked fairly well. Is it doable? ---------- (177) #2 Anne Perry (mooncat) Wed, Mar 5, 2003 (13:43). 1 line. As I e-mailed, that date works for me. ---------- (177) #3 Mary Remmers (mary) Sat, Mar 8, 2003 (15:49). 7 lines. I've heard back from all but two board members on the date change for the next BOD meeting and the new date is okay. So... Next Board meeting will be Monday, March 31st, 7:30 pm, in the kid's room at Zing's.
