Hi Sudoroom members,
We will have to send our delegate (me) to the delegates' meeting in two weeks
with a position on the following proposal to operate a day center in the
basement of Omni, as described here:
https://omnicommons.org/pipermail/consensus/attachments/20220505/d539bbca/a…
When I first heard about this idea, I didn't think it would be practical, but
having been in the delegates' meeting and tonight having heard directly from
Joey who is leading this operation, I'm confident that it will be a positive
use of the space, and in line with the common values that Omni collectives
share.
Also, this proposal will significantly increase the chances that we'll not lose
the building in 210 days when the baloon mortgage comes due, as the money
coming in from Village Of Love will help us present as a viable operation to
banks considering giving us a loan. I know we don't want to make decisions
based purely on money, or purely because we want to keep the Omni, so I think
it's great that this proposal seems to me like it's going to be a good thing.
If sudoroom members have specific questions or concerns about this proposal,
speak up now so that we can start the process of addressing them. If nobody
has anything to say about it, like what happened with MOP, I will represent
that Sudoroom is in favor of this proposal
Forwarded below is some context, and a link to the meeting notes from the
latest delegates' meeting discussing this proposal.

Subject: Re: [omni-consensus] FIRST DRAFT PROPOSAL: Village of Love
Update: a few points were clarified at tonight's delegates meeting
https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Event:2022/05/05_Delegates#vol
VOL's initial proposal is to pay a total of $1800/mo beginning June 1,
for these four existing basement rooms:
1) The former FYE room
2) The room next to that, currently used as FNB storage
3) The room next to that, formerly Liberated Lens
4) The larger enclosed space which joins all the above rooms
For the first few months (June, July, August) VOL would also like to
use the entrance hall during their operating hours (10-3 M-F). Their
use would be compatible with the free store and with ANV.
Once we finish building the new basement room (approved 4/21) they
would like to pay $800/mo for that as well. Once all construction
finishes in that area of the basement, they would also like to pay
$400/mo to occupy and curate the open space adjacent to these two
rooms. These could come as separate proposals, but it'd be good for
delegates to agree to the broad outline if possible. At that point,
their total would be $3000/month.

Hey folks, sorry this is last-minute and incomplete. Village of Love
folks have had a very busy week, but they've finally given us
something in writing.
We still need to add details about specific use of space and money,
but this should start the conversation and give people an outline of
what VOL wants to do at omni!

For anybody who still has doubts about the Village of Love, I would
add that they already run a similar operation in Alameda (431 Stardust
Place) which is very easy to visit and check out for yourself. I was
skeptical too until I went over there and talked to the staff and
guests. These folks are the real deal.

This sounds like a great addition to Omni to me.
