previous meeting: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Event:2019/04/06_Kitchen_Meeting

= attendees =
 * yar, toan, phil, laura

= stove =
 * phil is still working on taking stove apart. yar got wd-40 to get rusted bolts out.

= floor =
 * toan & yar are biased towards epoxy
 * ceramic tiles can be less slippery (for accessibility)
 * dk says most kitchens just put mats down for slip resistance
 * we're a long way from ADA in this kitchen cuz you'd need special appliances
 * toan is bringing someone in who's a flooring expert. yar wants to be there also.
 * we're doing a similar thing in sudoroom this summer
 * we should get exact square footage of planned kitchen
 * if it's tile we need professionals. also needs more maintenance
 * phil says tile is more standard for kitchens
 * dk says quarry tile would be cheapest. commonly 6x6 terra cotta color. HArder to install in commerical kitchen becasue hardest grout must be used.
 * where to buy the goop? sika? Apparently, epoxy must be installed by a certified epoxy applier.
 * if tile, get an opinion about how to prep existing surface. might be greasy. curb under stove also needs to come out. existing red paint is not adhering well.
 * do we need any more floor drains? Jim will know

= electricity =
 * Laura's still trying to find an electrician to come look at the panel. Emailed Ken's electrician friend to schedule a visit. Also has idientified a women owned electrical company to contact.
 * dk says it's split phase, 200-300amps
 * it's free to get construction quotes from pg&e?
 * call their new construction department, will get you a human being
 * ask them what's our max draw right now
 * also about solar panels

= exhaust fan =
 * Yar climbed up to take this picture: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/File:Roof-fan.jpg
 * dunno how to tell if it's explosive. laura is researching
 * Model is "ALDP"
 * another angle https://omnicommons.org/wiki/File:Roof-fan2.jpg
 * plot twist: it was the wrong fan! yar will go back up today
 * dk tried really hard w/antonio (health dept) to not have a hood at tamarack. but they required him to have a hood. even with induction to boil water, antonio still wanted a type 1 hood.
 * makeup air still an issue

= david = so much to ask when he gets here
 * window replacement quotes? dk's people flaked. now we need new people.
 * met with jim? Jim has budgeted time and is willing to do it but he went on vacation and hasn't written the proposal. We need to nudge him.
 * what is an explosive fan? Needed becasue stove/oven cleaners are potentially inflammabel/explosive
 * It's not required to have a bathroom on the same floor as the kitchen. Would be nice in the future.

= action items =
 * does ed roberts campus have a kitchen? how do they do accessibilty? yar will find out
 * yar will look at stove exhaust fan on the roof
