Sudoroom will have to have another meeting this Wednesday night.
The last delegates meeting had Peoples Programs present, asking for Omni
Commons to give them the building outright. There is a proposal they made
which is light on details but they were clear in the meeting that they
wanted
to take complete control of the Omni Commons,
although they claimed they
would
allow present tenants to stay.
They are trying to pressure us into making a decision "ASAP" because
they are
very excited about being handed a $3M property
for $800K with no strings
attached.
Our lawyer is very clear that we have 90 days from a "notice of default"
from
our present lender (which they can't even do
until after January 1st)
before
we need to come up with money to keep the
building. There is no reason to
rush into any decision, even if we thought it were a wise decision to
make.
Sudoroom and CCL members are moving forward with forming an LLC legal
structure so that people can combine their funds to replace our lender,
which
will keep Omni operating the same was as before.
I am confident that we
can
get that together before the foreclosure
deadline, in case we don't find
a
normal lender willing to give us a loan. I and
others are working on
that too.
If we do nothing, and allow our lender to foreclose on the building and
sell
it at auction, Omni Commons will be paid out from
whatever surplus sale
price
the building brings in, meaning probably $1M to
split (somehow) between
existing collectives, to allow us (together or separately) to find a new
space.
We need to discuss this and make sure our delegate has a clear position
to
represent sudoroom at the Thursday meeting. There
will be a lot of
pressure,
as I described above, for us to agree to a hasty
and irrational decision.
