Last week, our Gittip dropped by over $100/week. It seems like they
were purging expired cards, or made some other changes to their
system? Either way, please log into Gittip and confirm that you are
actually still giving the amount you originally signed up for. And
thanks for funding Sudo!

Hey sudo! Listen up!
For those unawares, we intend to be moving to 4799 Shattuck Ave next
month [1]. We will be sharing a building with a slew of amazing
groups, including the Bay Area Public School and Counter Culture Labs.
We've been closing the deal for over a month now and doing a ton of
self-organizing. It's been amazing to see this come together, for all
its alternately exciting and at times stressful moments!
Much incredibly difficult and valuable work negotiating this lease has
been done by in particular David K, and with huge props to Niki, and
the rest of the folks organizing finances, bringin' it to meetings,
diving into working groups, and otherwise putting in some heart, soul,
blood, sweat and tears. We are almost there!
This is (hopefully) the final draft of the lease we'll be signing next
week. You will need to request access to the doc, which has been
requested to be kept confidential by the landlord, and is in a
read-only Google Doc with Comments enabled: http://bit.ly/S6J62n
Via Niki:
"There are two docs in this folder that may preemptively address some
concerns [Q&A & TLDR]. These are works in progress and will be updated
as questions are asked / answered. Please refer to them!!
A lot of the language in this lease is extremely scary and often
seemingly contradictory. Such language is, in fact, standard for a
triple net lease.
Please withhold final judgement until you've expressed your concerns.
[...]
Not having to have a guarantor is a HUGE win for us and one of the
biggest concessions made by John in exchange for any concessions we
have made."
Bring questions and input to the weekly meeting tomorrow, where we'll
be going over it accompanied by our lawyer."
- ---------------------------------
Here is the TL;DR rundown:
Sudo:
* Half the 'bocce ball court' room
* $2K/month
Basics:
* 3 year term
* $13,00/month + triple net (insurance [Building + Business], property
tax, maintenance [except for roof {covered for 2 years} + furnaces {4
furnaces, covered for 6 months}]
* Option to extend 2 times
* Move-in is July 1st, 2014
Deposit:
* $5,000 initial deposit paid
* + $40,000 more deposit (first [$10,000], last [$13,000], deposit
[$27,000])
* Why is deposit so high?
** Extra deposit in lieu of a guarantor
* We are getting $1,000 back each month for 13 months
Rent:
* First month (July): $10K
* Second month: Free
* Third month: $10K
* Fourth month: $10K (unless owners move out by the beginning of this
month)
* Starting November 1 (or possibly October 1), rent will be $12K/month
(including the gradual return of deposit at 1K/month)
* Starting December 1, 2015 (or possibly November 1), rent will
increase to $13K/month
Option to Buy:
* Good until July of 2017
* No one else can buy it during this period.
* Renting price averages out to .60/sqft
* Buying price is about $90/sqft - at 1.95 million.
Signatories:
* Individual representatives will sign on behalf of their group.
* Only groups who are currently operational and whose commitment
represents a significant portion of the total rent will sign: Bay Area
Public School, Sudo Room, Counter Culture Labs, Timeless Infinite
Light, & Livespace
* Groups (not individuals) will be held liable for their portion of
the rent for the duration of the lease.
* Any group that stops paying rent and does not find a sublessor could
potentially be sued by the owner for rent for the remainder of the lease.
Capital Expenditures (9.3):
* If we're required to make a capital expenditure to improve the
property, John will reimburse us 50% of that cost up to $25,000 (was
initially 50K, but reduced in lieu of a guarantor)
Insurance:
* We are responsible for Commercial General Liability.
* Building Insurance is in Landlord's name, but we are to pay it (this
is standard for triple net leases)
* We must maintain our insurance or landlord can charge us 10% or $100
more monthly rent (without notice).
Abatement of Rent:
* If we're given a written requirement for expenditures over $100K, we
can safely terminate the lease without additional costs.

Please reply to this thread and otherwise discuss. We will also be
discussing this at length tomorrow and making a consensus decision.
*Important:* The Omni's lawyer, Jesse, will be joining us at the sudo
room weekly meeting tomorrow (which starts at 7pm) - please be
excellent and respect his valuable time!

Things are happening very quickly and tonight's Sudoroom meeting is
going to be important. If you are interested in the process of our
move or reboot, or have feelings and opinions about any of it, coming
to this meeting would be a good idea.
Counter-Culture Labs will also be meeting at the same space and there
will be opportunities (like last week) for us to talk together about
the many details involved in potentially sharing the space at the
Omni.
P.S. Cross-posting to sudo-announce, but please only reply on sudo-discuss.
https://sudoroom.org/
We have a new calendar system that allows for booking events. This has
always been a struggle with sudo room activities. However, we have not yet
made the transition to this new system as we need a bit of volunteer help
to groom events from the old system.
Let me know if you could lend a hand.

To: sudo-discuss <sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org>
Hey all,
What does it mean to have a sudo reboot? What do we see? What do we want to
put our energy and effort towards?
We've come a long way. I'd like to start a thread just hearing what folks
think about rebooting sudo room.
*If you had a chance to re-write sudo room from scratch, what would would
you do differently?*
We now have something like this chance.
Hey all,
A few critical topics to discuss include:
* Major health concern with unscheduled bug-bomb poison released in kitchen by landlord during day with people in use of the common space, and related conflicts.
* Moving spaces to 4799 Shattuck, aka The Omni with the Omni Collective http://omni-oakland.org
* Sudo Room reboot, possible forking options.
// Matt
How did 3D's public appearance go last night at Art Murmur/1st Friday? That
was CLASSIC!
