<br />
== Money ==<br />
financial update<br />
* ~5k in bank<br />
* still not sure about salta's money<br />
* donation to cover in-the-door cost likely to happen<br />

<br />
Paying Our Lawyer<br />

** 7 of 7 delegates yay, unanimous consensus<br />
* proposal #2: reimburse groups that paid out of pocket<br />
** 7 of 7 delegates yay, unanimous consensus<br />
<br />
Putting Money in the Bank<br />
* i.e. having reserve capital - move-in could be soon (June 1)<br />
* each collective should have a conversation about this<br />
* what's keeping us from opening a bank account?<br />
** incorporation paperwork is still in the mail<br />
** our money is still in niki's personal account<br />
<br />
Livespace Rent<br />
* they want the disco room but can't have it while owners live there<br />
* how much can they pay with or without disco room?<br />
* total in-the-door cost is still ~$45k?<br />
** 5k existing<br />
** +30k possibly donated<br />
** +10k still to raise<br />
* we can still make rent with livespace paying less<br />
* 3 months = june/july/august?<br />
<br />
== Legal ==<br />
* we need a pro-bono accountant - ask your CPA friends<br />
* ensure lease is taken by the non-profit proper<br />
* no parking waiver updates yet<br />
** build lots of bike parking, then say so<br />
** it's all human relationships and politics<br />
<br />
== Outreach ==<br />
* We All Have To Do It<br />
* reaching out to "groups with more poc"<br />
* gauging interest from those with vested interest, e.g., anti-gentrification policy and program organizations<br />
* "needs to not feel like a white space"<br />
* the website communicates a white space<br />
** send joel more pictures more reflective of the diversity of our communities<br />
** joel can take pictures<br />
* DEC<br />
** shared google drive full of copy<br />
** it's a pdf file to share with people by email<br />
* we're working on outreach material independently, to be merged<br />
** "there's a lot of clay on the wheel"<br />
* beyond purchasing, what about maintaining the building?<br />
** we've been saying "rent" when we actually mean all costs<br />
** we won't actually own it for a while<br />
* outreach committee to meet/work/collaborate together<br />
** setting a time after the meeting<br />
** all committees should have diversity as a priority?<br />
** should also have a committee just for diversity<br />
<br />
== New Collectives ==<br />
<br />
Peak Agency<br />
* acknowledging awkward precedence of being first proposal "after last week's edict"<br />
* helps groups raise money (crowdfunding etc)<br />
* could pledge $250-750 near term, $1-1.5k long term<br />
* they will have meetings with whiteboards<br />
* they want to help build rooms like that to make the HUB irrelevant<br />
* vote: 8 of 8 delegates yay, unanimous consensus<br />
<br />
Food Not Bombs?<br />
* not yet<br />
* but they're fine with their name being on the website<br />
<br />
we need an info-sheet describing the group onboarding process<br />
<br />
spaces being free<br />
* clarify that any hub-like "coworking space" should be free<br />
* further clarify that spaces don't have to be free, but can "be available for free"<br />
<br />
do more outreach to groups that don't need lots of dedicated physical space but still want to be a part of it<br />
<br />
== vision statement ==<br />
* further revisions/additions to founding document https://sudoroom.org/wiki/The_Omni/2014-04-03#The_Omni_Oakland_Collective<br />

* will discuss more next week?<br />
* devote an entire meeting to this?<br />
<br />
== ACTION ITEMS ==<br />
* find accountants<br />
* each collective sends Joel pictures and other media/assets that reflect the diversity of our communities<br />
* schedule the outreach material committee meetings<br />
<br />
