Discussion Items

  • Event Management Software
  • Omni Event Sponsorship : Robb: There are some things we need to consider: Perhaps not have high risk event. Another issue: Legal responsibility/liability. We need to talk to a lawyer to answer legal questions.
  • SPAZ/Basement Events: Joe did research and talked to people and they said that they need ABC if there is exchange of money. Email exhange between Joe, ROberto and Lukas, and made it clear that an ABC permit is required. Also, that there needs to be a discussion within the commons working group to talk about the Omni and its ability to host SPAZ-like events. Commons agreed consensus that if there is no ABC permit there is no SPAC event. Lukas is not present so we cannot have a discussion. Joe to email Lukas and SPAZ about getting ABC permit to have event.
    • update from below: they are organizing a graffiti cleanup, procuring event insurance and ABC permit, seeking nonprofit to sponsor the application. omni/sudo? noisebridge? coordinating w/ art show & commons film. (Thanks Jenny - Discussing it)
      • would saturday be a good day for coordinating building cleanup - dump run, graffiti, sidewalks?
  • Discussion on how to make Omni financially more accessible to the community ---> Transition into a venue model? Table for later
  • Feedback from Dress's 65th and Natalie: Natalies major complaints was that it took her a long time to set-up, move around stuff that were in her way (i think she was talking about the hours she spent cleaning the thursday before the event). Robb suggested that we have a default state for spaces where people should return it to its original position. For big events we need to make sure to help set-up the room. Trash situation never got conveyed? We have to make sure that all parties are aware of taking of trash. Perhaps send a reminder email of the repsonisiblitied from each party.
