For the past few months I've been Sudoroom's delegate to the Omni Collective. If you don't know already, the Omni is a huge building in Temescal, and the Omni Collective is a group of delegates from many groups whose goal is to acquire that building and move into it together. It's an amazing opportunity - the owners are quite eager to sell it for significantly below market value, and we've been negotiating a very reasonable rent-to-own agreement in the meantime. It's real, folks. All the money and legal pieces are falling into place. So far, 10 groups have officially joined the collective, shown active sustained interest, and pledged a monthly rent. The pledges add up to more than we would need to cover rent, utilities, maintenance and other expenses related to moving in. The collective is legally incorporated, we have a pro-bono lawyer, we're probably going to get our parking waiver for a use-permit, we have a 15 year financial plan (with the help of a local land trust), and we are very close to getting an interest-free loan to cover first-last-deposit. We will probably be able to MOVE IN by June 1! You can find more information here, including all Omni Collective meeting minutes: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/The_Omni Sudoroom has had an informal discussion about this for a long time. We consented to send me as a delegate. But I am worried that the consent and commitment has not been full or formal enough given how serious and imminent things are getting. So I'd like to renew Sudo's consent and make it more properly consent-y. I will bring this to the next few meetings as well, but honestly not all of you have been going to Sudo meetings. So... Are there any objections to actually doing this? Are there any blocks? Anything else to say for or against this plan? Any questions? Now is the time to make them known. Now is the time to really talk about this.
