Discussion

Action Items

• Do we need to get someone to send out election dates\details to the members?

Fire Extinguishers

( As per A-1 Fire and Safety Equipment Company)

• If they come to us, it's $5 / extinguisher, Min of $25
• If we bring the extinguishers to them, it's $4 / extinguisher
• There needs to be 1 fire extinguisher at the front door and the bay door.
• There needs to be 1 fire extinguisher within 75sqft of each other
  • This should cover the electrical box
  • This should cover the flammable area
• Extinguishers need to be 10lb ABC's.

( As per the Huntsville Fire Marshall )

• 1 fire extinguisher every 75 feet
• must be 10 lb
• A sign must be posted above the exit, not necessarily a lit one

( As per Spacefelix )

• The main room is 30x40.

Status: Based on the above information, we will need 5 extinguishers

• "Kitchen\Office"
• Main Room
• Tool Room
• Social Loft
• Library Loft

Recommendation: The landlord was using the lofted areas as storage space, not rooms.

• Recommendation is to request the landlord pay for three 10 lb ABC extinguishers, and Makers Local cover the remaining.
  • Cheapest new 10lb ABC Fire Extinguisher is ~$60.00: Firstrespondernetwork.com
  • Use Tool Fund for purchases. It qualifies as safety equipment which has priority.
• Recommend putting the words "EXIT" on the door. Maybe with red tape.
  • We could also do this with some red LEDs and a 12V power supply.
