 === Questions ===
+* What is Shelly doing with all the basil leaves?

+* Do you give tours after the meeting?
+** Yep, it's going to happen in a few minutes.
+=== Votes ===
+[https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Vote_to_Upgrade_3515_Lighting Vote to Upgrade 3515 Lighting]
-=== Votes ===
+*Would the contractor be installing the materials?
+**Yes
+*Can we add zones?
+**Not sure - ask Michael Skilton
+**If there's extra money from the vote, it would be nice to add zones
+* Who is pulling the permits?
+**Contractor
+*Will this delay us moving into the new space?
+**Good question, not sure
+** Ken's guess is it would be 2-3 days max for swapout, and space is usable at night (lights are on)
+** Regardless, if there are not lights, we would not move into the space, so this work needs to happen
+*Is there a schedule?
+**Not yet, no contract yet
+* What is the payback time?
+** Estimated at 1.42 years, based on 8.5 hours per day (3,120 hours a day)
+** Our usage is probably higher, so payback time would be shorther
+** Even if it's twice as long as this estimate from the contractor, our lease is for five years.
+** Payback is based on the $2500 amount; if landlord chips in the up to $1000 promised, payback could be faster
+* Issue passes, 38 votes in favor, 0 against, 0 abstain
 === Tour ===
 Who wants to give a tour?
+* Thanks Lyn for giving a tour!
