[Spacecadets] Spacecadets "mission"

[john banfill]

At the time of the original meeting of space cadets and viewing the annex with the real estate agent, Shelly Branscom, we were under the impression that the cost of the annex would be an additional expense to Quelab.  Subsequently we have heard from the lease negotiators that this may not be the case when the lease is renegotiated.  I think it would be helpful for developing suggestions about the space if there could be some clarifications on the probable cost and affordability of having the annex for use by all the members of the quelab.
My personal belief is that subletting space may lead to all kinds of problems.  There would probably need to be a rental agent deciding who could rent spaces, and how much to charge.  Liability for subleased spaces needs to be considered.  What activities are allowed in the leased space needs to be approved (e.g. fiberglass fabrication, chemistry of fluorine reactions, genetic engineering, virtual reality porn).
Great progress has been made over the last couple of months in cleaning up the area and converting the space to areas that can be used.  I don't know everyone that has been involved so I won't try and name them all.  I think if we could get the donations junkyard under control we would have a facility that all members could make use of and be proud of and that would not scare off potential new members who don't want to work in a junk yard.  I believe the potential increase in new users would more than pay for any additional cost of the annex.

I don't think I have a direct quote I know it came up in the board meeting. And could be good to look back at the spacecadets mission when we moved from 2nd street to Haines. 
Here is my version:
• Come up with a layout of space in the annex - floor plan is helpful    
   - Remember part of what was discussed to pay for annex is having space to rent out to members for working space.    

   - This space could be anywhere in the facility. If they think it is better to move X out of the Mission Control and put Y in there instead of the Annex. 
* In this review the full space to see if you what to make suggestions on the full space. 

• Provide to Board with whatever written statements you feel are needed to be clear.

To the Board:

Earlier this week, a board member said "Well, afik we are still waiting on a coherent plan from Space cadets, but i dont know if that has been relayed to them."

To my knowledge, it has NOT been conveyed to the SpaceCadets that any such plan was required (actually, I have a memory of someone saying that since the SpaceCadets decided "Yes, let's rent the annex", that was all that was required).

Can someone let the SpaceCadets know exactly WHAT the Board is expecting from them?  Or please forward me whatever email was sent detailing what was expected (I don't recall any such email).  Darrel has requested a meeting of the SpaceCadets this Sunday evening, and any guidance you could provide the SpaceCadets as to what you are waiting for will help guide the meeting.

Thanks.
