CC fiscal sponsorship

  • Toan: CC originally wanted lease signed by Oct 25. No time pressure from CALLI though. Might be better to have a written proposal from CC?
  • Patrik: maker fair next week, CC probably wants to advertise the space
  • Toan: right now just CC is proposing
  • Patrik: we can ask for CC to find another person to report for safety. Typically fiscal sponsored projects are more than one person. We are presuming responsibility over what she does, so can ask for whatever safeguards to keep space clean/safe.
  • Toan - Jesse touched on that. When SMAC was here, Silver mentioned that they did a lot of cleaning of the space. Not sure if its practical to have just one person clean up, could there be some sort of system? I reached out to SMAC and they suggested to have timer switches on the irons to turn them off.
  • William - could set a required number of members
  • Paige - I was thinking about this too in CALLIs "designated individuals" idea. What are the roles of those


town fridge

Town fridge needs to be removed along with outdoor outlets, due to cease and desist earlier this year, and due to large electrical bill. EB PREC hopes to find a way to provide way for folks to charge outside, maybe through solar.


  • William - could have a meter to shut off at some threshold
  • Toan - I think its more than cost, it also attracts unwanted attention. Put out fires twice this year in the early morning
  • Patrik - random microwaves and toasters outside, fire risk too
  • Paige - omni has had so many unhoused people use space, given outlets and free store and open space. I think its generally worked, like a library. Before the dream was to get "resilency hub" funding to continue like this but not sure what the future plan for entrance hall is
  • Patrik/William - SR could build some sort of standalone solar unit with batter. Also could just be a USB outlet, just 5V

Omni nonprofit restructure

  • Paige - can we give the vote to the fiscal sponsored projects?
  • Patrik - makes sense to me to add Free Store to delegates now. We had talked about doing the transition all at once but not a need to.
  • Proposal: offer to add Free Store to list of groups appointing delegates in Bylaws.
  • In favor: Patrik/CCL, William/Sudo, Toan/FNB
    • APPROVED!

Roof repairs

  • Ojan (email): I just heard from the roofers and the roof start date has been pushed back with a tentative start date of October 29th. I will follow up with more information about what sections they're doing when and whatnot when I get that from them. Probably won't get that until a few days before they start unfortunately.
