Board Meeting Minutes 2021-09-23

From Fat Cat Fab Lab

Meeting 9/23/2021


Attendees: Joe Kim, David Choi, Joe Stilin, Harold Morales


Emergency meeting to discuss Arjen’s 3 additions to the current lease proposal from Ed:

   After October, we pay $250 a month for electric if new meter hasn’t been installed by end of October.
   We install our own water meter on our sole intake, report gallons to Ed, with 20% increase to account for error.
   We propose $7300 per month instead of $8000 per month for 2023.


Idea to add sentence opening up ability to discuss 2023 rent, instead of locking in for $8000 now - “allowance” to negotiate.


[vote on proposing final change to wording of lease, if not accepted, accept the lease as is]
