 * Jose: We had agreed on bi-weekly meetings, but invite was for every week. Will look into it and check with stephanie if neccesary.
 * New Markets Loan Credit Program - a way for banks to give large loans, and then forgive a portion of the loan at the end. They are VERY large loans (5 Million is start).  Bank gets credits for debt forgiveness.
 * We haven't made a budget that big that would require that large of a loan. If we make a 5 million loan budget.
 * Matt: Retrofit all floors for accesability, retrofit the kitchen, rooftop garden, Seismic retrofitting.
 * Marriane: fixing up sprinklers could be a priority to increase size of room.
 * Stephanie suggested these for us, She is an expert in doing this sort of loan. She has said that we are too small for those, but Matt and others feel like it it might be worth looking into.
 * May be going away for next census.
 * Matt: we should come up with as big a budget as possible, as long as it is justifiable.
 * Jose: We should check with David because he is making a budget.
 * Matt: Tried to call him, no response.
