The Treasurer's Disclaimer-The numbers below have been calculated in a quick way and may not be 100% correct

If you look at Quarantined Funds above that is my current justification on what is available for spending. Is the Committee happy with that?

I've given up trying to do it. NAB Phone people states that only the person who started the first account can. Not the current signatories. Complained to NAB complaints - that this was ridiculous. Further conversations said the branch should be able to sort it. The branch is like what!!…. we will investigate and get back to you…… Not!

We received endorsement for Income Tax Exemption - Letter held on the Committee GDRIVE Artifactory/Certificates. Benefit - We can receive a lower electricity supply charge ~60c day and up to a couple cents off per unit cost. On our last bimonthly bill estimated savings would be $70. Application submitted to Synergy for the Community Service Tariff to get the above. 21/2/19 Synergy called with the good news that we are now on the community tariff as of 21st

TidyHQ made some change in December which caused memberships when renewed not to have a month added to their current end date of membership and were requiring manual intervention to be fixed. Thanks to Iain for spotting the problem first at end of Jan. Now fixed by TidyHQ.

Access to Artifactory PayPal account * Has $30 in it * We recovered access to it

• 5 x Scissors and new air blow gun 10cm = $13.89

STUART - we created the following subcommittee rules back in Sept/Oct 2016. They need to be reviewed, simplified and amended to be consistent with the new constitution rules 49 and 50.

CURRENT RULES

1. The subcommittee system is designed to
   1. Relieve load from the main committee,
   2. Allow the main committee to benefit from the expertise of other members,
   3. Allow non-committee members to participate in the management of the space
   4. Be open to scrutiny and observation by interested members (as is the main committee), and
   5. Be run in a friendly and collegial manner.
2. Each subcommittee is subservient to the main committee and exists by fiat of the main committee.
3. Committees can operate as they see fit within the guidelines, however operation must be either
   1. Democratic (a majority vote of a quorum of subcommittee members)
   2. By consensus (all subcommittee members are aware of, it has strong support from, and none are strongly against the proposal)
4. A subcommittee has responsibility delegated to it by the main committee within defined terms of reference. The terms of reference are determined by the main committee.
5. Any change of membership/Other changes require assent of the main committee (minuted at committee meeting) The subcommittee may invite others to observe and comment but note vote until change of membership is approved.
6. The subcommittee is inactivated with all responsibilities referred back to the main committee if:
   1. The subcommittee membership falls below 2 members,
   2. There is no main committee member on the sub-committee,
   3. The main committee disbands the sub-committee.
   4. The subcommittee reports to the main committee that they have resolved to disband.
   5. The subcommittee acts outside their terms of reference.
   6. An annual or special general meeting is held (a motion may be passed to retain/reactivate all existing subcommittees subject to membership including a committee member).

   1. Current Name
   2. Current Terms of reference
   3. Current Email list
   4. Current Members
   5. Minuted changes to the above made by the main committee or a quorum of the main committee.
9. Within their area of responsibility, and if it is within their terms of reference, the sub-committee will be the appropriate place for normal members to:
   1. Obtain permission/training to access/operate,
   2. Request maintenance or obtain permission to maintain,
   3. Request a modification or obtain permission to modify, and
   4. Request updates on the current operational status.
10. Any action taken by the subcommittee should be communicated to all members of the subcommittee (preferably by a message on the appropriate list or notes on the wiki)
    1. Sub-committees are encouraged to nominate a secretary to be responsible for minuting and reporting.
    2. Sub-committees should generally operate on a “plan” then “do” model which enables all members of the subcommittee to be aware of the plans before they are put into effect.
    3. Membership of a sub-committee does not give individuals the freedom to act unilaterally. A sub-committee has been formed by the main committee to allow a team to work on a task.

    1. Their own members (on request)
    2. A main committee member (on request)

(STUART) - Below is to ensure we get the key back or have funds to replace the lock and keys if we need.

Under “Rehearsal room usage” additional point -

• If the Resident Artist wants a key to access the Rehearsal Room they must pay a key bond equivalent to a Band Membership one and be provided with a way to book the band room.

(STUART - for committee to note) - Cost $108 per year for a refill.(double checked - not two refills) While costs were covered in the years 2016-17, 2017-18 No funds have been received for the current financial year for that.

(STUART) For welding it is currently written as →

Welding:

• Member Rate: $20 an hour or part there of
• Casual User Rate: $20 an hour or part there of

Amend to

Welding with Gas:

• Member Rate: $15 an hour or part there of
• Casual User Rate: $20 an hour or part there of

REASONING - The current costing implies that the non-gas varieties cost the same when they shouldn't

Nick mentioned tracking cost with new door bot board.

That laser cutting cost for Kellogg be set at the same price as little red.

Under Laser Cutters add word in bold.

Member Rate: Big Red $0.20 Little Red/Kellogg $0.10 per minute rounded up to the nearest dollar. Casual User Rate: $5 per 10 minutes rounded up to the nearest $5.

Oven, recovery machine, colour one, two other models

• Iain explain 3D printers
  • 450 colour and self contained
  • 310 single colour one
• cannibalise keep 2 and cannibalise one
• Print costs around 50c/g
• Not 15A requirement

(Stuart) - different size lockers / pallet racking storage / tub storage - how many allowed, etc. What is a fair amount of stuff to have at the 'factory. It is a difficult topic to reach consensus on so………..

ITEM 1

Do a survey monkey of members (excluding associates) covering the following questions

• What is a fair amount of storage volume per member? …supply various options
  • ie based on the largest locker of 250L - 5black tubs
  • next size down locker 150L - 3 tubs
  • ie…..
• Should we get rid of all lockers and go all storage tubs?
• Is it ok to go over for a bit and for how long?
• Should there be costs for going over? ie buy additional storage? where?
  • Example Cost per month extra storage (we should provide several pricing options.)
    • $40 for half a pallet rack shelf
    • $75 for a full pallet rack shelf
    • (comment…… If people want to pay and we don't have enough - buy more)
    • (Maybe include example of cost with storage place next door.
  • What should be excluded -
    • Projects with a time frame of less than 3 months….
• Any other thoughts……

• Goal - Survey Results before next meeting
• Who wants input on the questions - committe list
• Who - Stuart

• Motion: Minimum storage requirement will be minimum two stacked 50L tubs
  • Fletcher / Steve
  • Approved

ITEM 2.

• that the committee resolves to identify stuff at the Artifactory that may not necessarily belong to the Artifactory. (beyond member lockers+tubs)
• photos of stuff of uncertain ownership be put to slack/google list for further identification
• any stuff not identified or unwanted - Artifactory Declares Ownership

• Goal - Complete identification before next meeting
• Who - Stuart, Scott

ITEM 3.

• that the committee divides up the pallet racking and label shelves for each purpose
• storage with people next door

• Goal - Complete before next meeting
• Who - Respective subcommittees to get back to Stuart

We estimated it was going to cost $580 last year based on a specific material list that we still have. The plans are lost. Lets approve that amount to get it started and delegate the build to the Infrastructure subcommittee.

• Clean benches
• Trim back benches
• Martin to do electrical work
• Also need to fix leak on roof

Let's budget $600 for the above and that includes $20

Electrical work will need to be done for power points. - Ask infrastructure committee to get a quote on what? - If 4 of the committee approve the costing via email. Then the spend can happen.

(Stuart) Skot advises that it is likely that as part of his course, funds will probably be available for a lighting Rig. If so, then we'll have a proper lighting Rig for the stage at no cost to the Artifactory.

1. Any objections?
2. If he can do it, he'd like to see if we can a student in on the sponsored membership for the build and setup of operation. Any objections? All fine

(Stuart)propose 3 windows PCs and CAD room clean to go with

• Discussion on computers
• Windows 10, $14 per license
• Scott to look after

Can the hackme bench have a new name to differentiate between it and the hack rack?

Leave with infrastructure subcommittee
