Urgent: Omni Commons Community Meeting – Action Required by 12/21/23

by Z Silver Zahn

Dear Omni Commons Community, I hope this message finds you well. In our recent delegate meeting, a crucial decision was made that requires your immediate attention. The upcoming delegate meeting on 12/21/23, scheduled from 7 pm to 9 pm, will be opened to our larger community, welcoming members from various collectives and Omni projects. This session is dedicated to discussing different proposal options and determining our collective path forward. As a critical reminder, our private lender has … [View More]notified us that the outstanding $876k must be repaid by the end of December 2023. Failure to meet this balloon payment deadline will initiate a foreclosure process, with a subsequent 90-day period before the property is sold to housing developers. Originally, our strategy aimed to generate revenue from events and fundraising over consecutive months, enabling us to pursue a million-dollar loan from self-help, with a 30-year return agreement. However, faced with a boycott affecting our cash flow and struggling Omni operations, we must now explore alternative options to prevent the property from entering the speculative market. One significant proposal on the table is the People's Program, where they would assume operational responsibility as new owners, undertaking the debt payment and already securing donors. Their commitment includes ensuring the continuity of current projects and tenants at Omni. Additionally, Sudo Room proposes the creation of an LLC to allocate funds from individual community loans, with community members contributing $50k each to the LLC, aimed at settling the Mulberry Trust debt. Discussions have also emerged about approaching a land trust to potentially become the landlord of Omni Commons. We urge all community members to contribute their ideas and proposals to an open Google doc, allowing us to collectively evaluate the pros and cons of each option. In the absence of action, Omni Commons faces the risk of sale post-foreclosure, necessitating a discussion on equity reallocation. To facilitate an organized and productive discussion on 12/21, we will be contracting a facilitator. Your input is vital, and we encourage everyone to share thoughts on how we want to vote on this critical matter. Please contribute your ideas to the Google doc before 12/21, ensuring we have a comprehensive list to consider. Together, we can navigate this challenge and determine the best course of action for the future of Omni Commons. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wDzotx3D07brWXLkylRlSb9r_alI8fqaBFUDxki… [View Less]

Hey who’s here this week

by Romy Ilano

I’m out of town for Christmas - who’s here this week? I’m at the space at the very least on Monday and Tuesday - More and more people are asking about having a meetup at the Omni commons - they’re often at company offices but would be willing to focus on open spruce as the women who code east bay day when we did the stable diffusion isntlalfest Sent from my iPhone

Omni Assets, or "don't throw the baby out with the bathwater"

by Taylor Alexander

(sending to sudo because I don't think I am on other lists, please forward as needed) Just had a conversation about the current situation. It sounds like People's Programs essentially want to completely take over legal and administrative control of Omni Commons. I would be against this as it seems it would spell the end of Omni Commons. I also want to put up front that Omni's Lawyer has made clear we have more than 90 days to resolve this as foreclosure cannot take less than 90 days. But what … [View More]

proposal: lawyer help to create LLC structure for lending

by Paige P

Sudo Room has been discussing the possibility of securing the $876k by pursuing multiple lenders, rather than just one. The idea proposed is below, but the proposal for the delegates is to ask our lawyer to help us write up some sort of structure like this, to present to potential lenders. LLC idea We create an LLC who's charter says it exists solely to buy this building with the money of its lenders, and collect interest on that loan. We try and get enough people to buy in, before Omni's … [View More]
