Agenda

Consent Agenda
- Approve all current scholarship applications
  - month-to-month membership
  - Be willing to have work shared with public
- Electricians bill
  - check issued for Mark
  - moving forward with more work
- Area Host and Volunteer Authorizer reviews and applications
  - have multiple board members present
  - set expectations for everyone
  - specify needs from PS1
- Asset disposal-slot forge, facilitated by Michael Skilton
  - Who is sponsoring this removal? I'm posting this on behalf of the Hot Metals area host.
  - What is it? A MIFCO Speedy Forge model F526
  - Where did it come from? It was donated by the School of the Art Institute
  - What's it worth? Used smaller models (F512) can be found online for $700-$2500
  - Where's it's wiki page? It never had one.
  - Why shouldn't we keep it? It would require running an 1 1/2" gas line and getting the gas pressure to our building increased. Plus it's big.
  - How will we get rid of it? I've already asked Chicago Industrial Arts if they want it, they don't. We would post it on Craigslist for two weeks at $1000 then offer it for internal auction.
  - Has the board and membership been notified? An email has been sent to info@ and treasurer@ I'm requesting that this be announced at the next members meeting. That would start the clock.
  - When would it list on Craigslist? If there is not a vote to block the disposal it would be listed on 7/23/18
