event money

• PROPOSAL from last meeting: events group will keep its money in a separate Omni bank account, and will accumulate money through the first week of september. By that time, the delegates will make a decision about how and when money will start to be transferred to omni's general funds.
• Already have a separate account; money is accumulating
• group plans on reinvesting some money into things that will eventually make more money, wants to start making small purchases immediately ($25/month for venue websites, for example) but will stay cautious?
  • with very brief update every delegates meeting on what money has been spent
• quorum of delegates say it's fine to proceed until september this way? no objections. all 4 delegates present are cool with it. (CLP, CCL, FNB, Sudo)

noise complaints

• Sunday June 19 (BCC qing qi concert) - loud music till approx 1:30am?
• Fri June 24 (BCC concert) - "loud music well past 10pm"
• Sat June 25 (cam life) - loud & late music, cars revving
• Marquise may have contacted them - need report back
• need to figure out what the noise cutoff should be on weekends - 10pm or midnight? unclear
• DK email: an issue that was left to a future project is, the acoustic wall does not extend west into the SW storage and A/V room areas which is unfortunately the closest point to their house. Omni’s siding is also in increasingly dire shape there, and that likely contributes.
• Groups have been bringing their own equipment - makes it harder for us to control sound levels. What type of equipment are we lacking? graphic equalizer, stage monitors. One sub is blown out
  • Need to test Omni sound systems
• one of the basement speakers was a rats nest
• "if we had a good graphic equalizers and baffles, that would do wonders"
