!slynne Item 216. Minutes from Grex Board of Directors Meeting, November 19, 2004 S. Lynne Fremont (slynne) Tue, Nov 23, 2004 (18:45). 34 lines, 8 responses. Present: aruba*, bhoward*, carol, drew, gelinas*, mary*, slynne* (*=indicates board member) Treasurer s Report: Grex is in the black for October. This is the first month since March that we didn't lose money. We took in $499.30 and paid out $377.81 which puts us +$121.49. We had two new members in October. There are currently 67 paid members. This time last year, there were 79 paid members. Staff Report: Nothing too much to report. gelinas has done two reaps and noted that there were some long time users on the reap list which he removed so their accounts are still here. tod's modem is with kip. The last backup was completed in September. There has been some progress on NextGrex. We don't have a good list of what needs to be done. gelinas is working on packet filters for next grex. bhoward is going to look at it to see if there is anything he can do. The next board meeting will be Friday, Dec 17th at the Remmers's house. Co-Location: We need to have a decision made by the end of January as that is when we need to notify our current landlord of our plans. We can probably save money by moving right away even if we have to pay rent at the pumpkin until the end of our lease. We would not have to pay insurance if we were totally vacated from the pumpkin. There is a lot of stuff there though. We reported to the city for property tax purposed that there was around $5,000 worth of property in the pumpkin which includes $1,069 worth of spare parts and $825 worth of obsolete equipment. We could store some of this in a private person's home if we had to and otherwise dispose of anything we no longer have a use for. slynne has volunteered to go there and throw everything in a dumpster but this would be a last resort if no one were willing to sort things there into keep, sell, and recycle categories. gelinas is going to contact provide.net for more information for our next meeting so we can discuss this further. 8 responses total. !gelinas ---------- (216) #1 Joseph L Gelinas (gelinas) Tue, Nov 23, 2004 (19:14). 3 lines. One of the questions asked at the meeting was about the things still needed to move to the new machine. The current state is described in Item 105, Response 277. !glenda ---------- (216) #2 Glenda F. Andre (glenda) Tue, Nov 23, 2004 (19:33). 1 line. Is it time to get a Grex e-bay account? !slynne ---------- (216) #3 S. Lynne Fremont (slynne) Tue, Nov 23, 2004 (19:54). 2 lines. Maybe. It would be nice if we could get some money for the stuff in Pumpkin. !naftee ---------- (216) #4 Arc! Sin! Weld! (naftee) Tue, Nov 23, 2004 (20:01). 1 line. Like the old backup tapes of the parenting conference? !richard ---------- (216) #5 Richard J. Wallner (richard) Tue, Nov 23, 2004 (22:05). 6 lines. given the issues mentioned in #0, did anybody there express a willingness to take over the treasurer's duties from Aruba? This is like the worst possible time for somebody else to be taking over the books, but the timing is what it is. Actually it would be cool if Polygon became treasurer (though Im sure he doesnt want to), because how impressive would it look if grex's treasurer is also the county commissioner :) !slynne ---------- (216) #6 S. Lynne Fremont (slynne) Tue, Nov 23, 2004 (23:56). 1 line. Larry is the county clerk. !mfp ---------- (216) #7 Glottal stop? Karate chop! (mfp) Wed, Nov 24, 2004 (02:53). 1 line. Someone named kip has your modem, tod! !tod ---------- (216) #8 Tod Wilkinson (tod) Mon, Nov 29, 2004 (13:53). 2 lines. re #7 DSL say what?
