Example Discussion/Proposal

  • Paige - Everyone signed today, but missing board resolution authorizing Daniel’s signature for Sudo Mesh
  • Sarah L - so all that is left then is:
    • board resolution from SM
    • Property Transfer document still needed to be decided on.
    • Waiting on Adjusted bill for the property taxes. Could be any day now
  • Patrik - cancel insurance after?
    • Sarah L - someone will need to contact B & G, cancel property insurance but retain D&O and general liability. But some things, like liquor and events insurance. I would be willing to do that, or let someone else confident in handling that do it instead. Premium now about now for property about $17k, largest portion. You will get money back after ending that, but not sure how much
  • Patrik - asked M. about whether insurances are monthly.
    • SL - 3 different policies, 2 combined in one payment. AFCO is financing for actual insurance. Liability and property. Both of those have a payment coming due on auto-pay. Great American D&O, assuming no change for the time being. I recommend contacting them ASAP so that you aren't making that payment.
  • Patrik - M. had AFCO and Great American payments on sheet that were very large monthly
    • Sarah L - they frontload the payment at the beginning. 12 months but only paying 9 months out of the year. This is why we will get a refund if they cancel now, and will prorate it on a regular basis.
  • Patrik - either way we need to contact them. Same thing about turning off autopay for utilities, transferring to CALLI
  • Paige - how are invoices done in the past?
    • Sarah - labor should have an appropriate level of detail for what is being done.
  • Patrik - for security deposits, Omni has 2k that we paid years ago. New security deposit will be $2113...
    • SL - Omni has 4k, 2k for security, and last month's rent. I believe when CCL moved in, presumably you paid a security deposit and last month's rent. That was transferred to OOC. In books I have CCL paying 2k in security, and 2k in last month's rent. Also for Sudo
    • Patrik - but new leases don't require last month's rent
    • SL - right, what we can do for CCL and SR, Omni transfer whatever amount of those security deposits required. If more in addition to that, can be a credit against the rent. Since you've already paid September, omni could also refund the difference of what it owes CALLI.
    • Patrik - does Omni have the $8k to pay back


SMAC account

    • SL - yes. In these sub accounts. Money in media lab account ... between Feb and April, they had money going into their account, but then between May June and July those funds were moved. As of two days ago, a balance of $3k in their sub account that hasn't been transferred.
    • Ruby - I'm here with SMAC, on our to-do list to find a new fiscal sponsor.
    • SL - SMAC has a paypal separate, and a venmo separate. even though connected to omnis EIN,
      • Paige - SMAC had a couple thousand in the bank. needs to be a conversation about this
      • Paige - CC paid full month of August. Not sure how this should go
      • Sarah - that would mean the other 200 from the SMAC account would go to rent.
  • Ruby - texting with Silver, and they said definitely did pay all the monthly rent, but they can look it up to show that we did that. Also shared something about Givebutter. Sarah, I will initiate and email between us.

Philip invoice

  • Patrik - was $750 for your labor?
    • Philip - one technician for the door, and also for David, but I can pull receipts. None of this money is going to me but money for labor to other people and supplies. I want to have a conversation with Ojan if they want to continue using the door access system in the door
    • Patrik - the meeting notes had $500 so i just was wondering what is the difference
    • Philip - yes that was just the hardware. If CALLI doesn't want the hardware, I can sell. I acquired it all used.
    • Paige - bill is to Omni... would CALLI even pay that?
    • Philip - legally they only need to pay debt for building. CALLI is not under any legal obligation to property taxes or debt. If PSA did not exist.
    • Sarah - many agreements. But since omni has funds it should pay you.

any other finances

  • SL - Philip Macdonald getting paid?
  • Patrik - have they been up to date about events contracts?
    • Philip - I am having a call with them tomorrow.
  • SL - we agreed to pay him, when we had a hellman grant. Looks like some of that wasn't firmly decided, once grant money was gone to stop paying people. I think a lot of things are left hanging. At one point he was sending invoices to me and Silver. I don't know what has happened since
  • Philip - most everything came to a halt as we approached foreclosure. Event staff is just me and one other person, but I haven't billed my hours, given conflict of interest when I attempted to purchase the building. Silver did have a few hours in July, but I think they probably were paid because I asked them to put in an invoice.
  • SL - what Omni has right now in the bank, in its general funds, now that CCL has paid, there is more money, so could transfer the deposits that need to go to CALLI. 4k from Beneficial - need to jump through hoops. That can be used to pay Philip and others. Between checking and savings, 11,400. If all we have to transfer is the amount of those deposits, and bills for garbage $700, pge ~$2000, and 2 insurance bills. Once insurance is canceled, there will be a refund that can go to other things. The timing of when certain things have to be paid. If you want your money ASAP, probably could do that. If you could wait til after Beneficial funds come in.
  • Philip - I'm not itching but more my concern, once this is done, Omni wont have income. Want to make sure Im reimbursed, given not in the PSA
  • SL - top priority, paying CALLI, 2nd paying people for reimbursements to those in the community, 3rd is setting aside money so that some of the stuff that needs to get paid in the next 6 months. I.e. Jesse will have some bills for things, will be fees for doing taxes, and money for things like maintaining D&O, web hosting, mailchimp, still a half dozen people on auto-payments to Omni
    • Philip - does CALLI have a replacement for you and Jesse?
    • SL - yes, they have their own attorney and accountant... I'd hope
    • Patrik - I assume they'll use same as EBPREC
    • Philip - this building needs a lot of bandwidth, just wanted to know if they had it covered
    • SL - they might reach out, but I don't know, they have a bunch of properties.
  • Ruby - we are not trying to skip out on rent payments or anything,
  • Missing Feb, March, and April. I quit in January.
  • Ruby - hard to hear, because if that's the case, we have less money than we thought we had.

property spreadsheet

  • SL - PREC wanted to know, reasonably, before Omni decided. Everyone wanted to know property tax amount. Assessor can't tell us the bill amount til they actually bill you. Hoping they could email a bill to us, so we aren't waiting on the mail.
  • Philip - with the sale happening
  • SL - Assessor eager to send the bill. If bill isn't paid in 30 days, a lot of the penalties would come back. When I spoke to them 2-3 weeks ago, we asked for the bill. Hopefully Christina's email will spur them to send it.
  • Philip - if no response by Tuesday, could show up in person with Paige... they are supposed to share in person
  • SL - multiple steps, goes through tax collector, auditor, and assessor. I don't know how fast that moves. If you want to go there you can, but I think they will send it to us as soon as it is available

bitcoin

  • Daniel - they come in and then immediately transfer out.
    • Patrik - should coordinate with Marc or Jenny

SR filing to become its own nonprofit

  • William - almost done with this, working with Jesse

Schedules of Personal Property

  • We went through the whole list that Sarah + Paige made
