Treasurer Budget Request
Treasurer requests $50 for a one year license for Quickbooks accounting software. Still not convinced it's the greatest choice of all possible choices, but it's cheap and will work for a year, and we seem to have some gung ho people who want to do some major updates to the CRM, so we can evaluate again after that is done.
Allocate $50 for Quickbooks software

Fire Marshall Visit
- POC: Joseph
The fire marshal was called upon to discuss whether or not i3 could have an effective 'barrel fire' outside for a reductive pottery firing technique. He stated that once we received permission from our landlord and filled out a residential burn application he would issue the desired permit.
In building friendly relationships, he was offered a tour where he offered cursory recommendations for our own improvement. It is my advice that we address these issues in the next thirty days to establish ourselves as good members of the Ferndale business community, and further build a positive relationship with his office. His suggestions were as follows:
- Fire extinguishers are out of test, retest and they must ALL be independently hung and facing outward toward a path, 4 inches off a floor, no more than 48", not sitting on a shelf.
- No storage within 24 inches of the ceiling (not the metal joist, but the corrugated metal) *cough cough elab overflow/party supplies* To clarify, that means things must be below the rafters.
- No extension cords powering anything long term (this is everywhere... He didn't see most of it)
- Illuminated emergency exit sign over hallway actual... I didn't follow this one but make the man happy.
- Jody: What led to this call to begin with?
- Joseph: As part of the Maker Faire mixer (afterparty) there is a planned 'barrel fire' Raku ceramics firing outside.
- Joseph is willing to head the efford to fix these issues but needs some volunteers, and asks for $100 exit sign and other signage.
Allocate $100 for Joseph to spend on an illuminated exit sign and other materials to satisfy the fire marshal
