[sudo-hall] Fwd: [sudoroom] Lease for 2141 Broadway + Meeting Minutes

From: "Matthew Senate" <mattsenate(a)gmail.com> Subject: [sudoroom] Lease for 2141 Broadway + Meeting Minutes Date: November 7, 2012 11:17:25 PM PST To: "sudoroom(a)lists.hackerspaces.org" <sudoroom(a)lists.hackerspaces.org> At tonight's meeting, we discussed the online vote results with a 16 - 1 favor toward signing a lease for the upstairs "art studio" space in 2141 Broadway. Further, we came to consensus with attending members in support of signing the lease as well. We are waiting to hear any comment from the one dissenter who we have not identified, and to whom we would like to reach out. I sent a message to George and Laurie and Laurie responded saying we will have a lease to examine by tomorrow evening. They prefer, if we do sign, that those listed on the Doing-Business-As (fictitious business name) sign the lease, which would be myself and Eddan. Thus, it seems reasonable to me that we should be able to change signatories for the DBA transfer the lease at the discretion of Sudo Room. Eddan, if necessary, would you be interested in signing on behalf of Sudo Room with me? // Matt p.s.
