Meeting w/ Jim - 13 July 2019

= attendees =
 * Jim, Laura, Jenny, Yar, Joe made a brief appearance

= notes =
 * Leave space for dumbwaiter. Have to decide upon location
 * Cheapest dumbwaiter ~$7K (dumbwaiter.com)
 * Need to take a look at the retaining wall on the north side - Jim and Yar did - another possible location for dumbwaiter is on the other side of the stove, would come up along the corner of the kids room
 * vNeed to find out CFM - cubic feet per minute(?) requirements for equipment under the new hood - if new hood (as we've budgeted and gotten a quote for), it shouldn't be a problem
 * Laura: still advocating for induction cooktops, but it seems no one else supports the idea.
 * One thing we haven't budgeted for is new lighting
 * Windows may need to become operable
 * Code doesn't REQUIRE you to have a dishwasher, just a 3-compartment sink - probably want to put in the rough plumbing for a dishwasher if the city will let you
 * Hiring a General Contractor strongly recommended - will ensure the projects gets done, and done right
 * Code doesn't require too much specifically re: storage - open/unenclosed storage okay
 * Freestanding convection oven is the most-used equipment at the Pork Workspaces kitchen (according to Max)
 * Move mop sink to middle wall if dumbwaiter location gets moved. mop sink will require trenching for the plumbing
 * ANything cutting into an exterior wall will involve Planning / Historical
 * Jim reminds us we have to spend 20% of budget on accessibility upgrades

Suggestions from Arthur:
 * Conveyor at waist height on sidewalk - Jim says they come in 5 or 10', can purchase a stand that will prop it on either end
 * Second door to walk-in - nixed, we can install windows for easy-access walk-in access (think like a corner store

= action items =
 * reach out to licensed electricians and/or general contractors:
 * Whitney (electrical) - Jenny will contact
 * General Contractor - David has a contact or two
 * Spec out dumbwaiter locations and dims
 * Nail down equipment list
 * Jim will contact structural engineer to look at dumb wiaiter pacement and wheelchair stairlift ceiling adjustment
 * Call out for shelving!
