  • CSC & GWS are behind by a month or so
  • FYE are behind again, will make a formal proposal soon, might dissolve?
  • CCL & mesh are current
  • ANV is behind but they have the money and it will probably be resolved soon - invoices probably going to wrong person

vegan cheese bank account

  • ccl needs to change people on the "real vegan cheese" bank account. discussion of logistics, finding and coordinating signers
  • move to sub-account at Unify currently vacant either BAPS or Village?

NOMA

  • Sarah: NOMA is dissolving and moving their stuff out, but never paid the $250/month that was agreed on
    • contract signed May 2021 to go effect in July - theoretically 6 months
    • they said in email that it didn't go into effect september, and that money in their bank account now is owed to members for supplies
    • so the total debt is $1k
  • do we want to forgive some or all of that?
    • anka: i'm in favor of forgiving it
    • yar in favor of forgiving $1k also
    • helen: we might as well. i don't see us getting it
  • what happened to NOMA?
    • yar: attrition mostly. didn't do enough outreach and ran out of energy.
    • sarah: typical for disaster relief organizing
  • free store is separate from NOMA and will continue
  • what's left in basement?
    • anka: some stuff left
  • CONSENSUS on forgiving $1k from NOMA, as soon as their area is cleaned out by march: yes (Helen/fnb, Jake/sudo, Patrik/ccl, anka/ll, juul/mesh) abstain (none) block (none)

PLP

  • jake emailed PLP folks. bruno said it's not gonna work out because "omni doesn't seem solid enough, we need something reliably secure. maybe in the future when you all get more together. whole omni project doesn't seem solid right now." so Jake emailed back asking for another chance to discuss their concerns and desires and is waiting to hear back

Roof updates

  • Mike up there almost every day. Has torn out much of the old layers above sudo/ccl - finding soggy layers even weeks after the rain. Planning to completely redo and improve grading. Mike's Tahoe job got snowed out. Has been buying the "fancy silicone" - DIY has been paying for some of it.
  • patrik: Mike said that the graffiti (west) wall of sudo/CCL needs fixing.
    • sarah: could he give us recommendation on what kind of siding we need
    • patrik: we might be able to see it from the street on 48th
    • sarah will ask (or DK, when he gets back next week)
  • marc heard noises close to midnight - it was mike working on the roof
  • skylights are still being shipped

Sudo rent mitigation proposal

  • https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudo-rent-forgive - proposing to ask for forgiveness for 50% of one year's rent - $12K. Would not leave much in Sudo's bank account.
