Minutes of the last meeting were corrected and approved.
Jennifer left printouts of the finances. Jennifer raised the Ingnasio Amagon site management hours that he is actually putting in. He is not billing for the hours he works with his own events. However, he is putting in more time. . . Jennifer is suggesting purchasing floor machines, as the one he regularly uses that is in the closet is his own, and other, as yet unnamed, machines.
Ed Ed is concerned that the new boulevard tree is improperly planted and is going to check into it. As we were leaving after the adjournment, Wayne, Trenk, Ed Ed and I examined the tree and found it to be planted in a way that Ed Ed liked.
Jesse and Pat’s letter is discussed. Designate one parking space at the wood rubbish corral and post additional signage designating the rest of the alley paved pull-out at the HC Entry as drop off and pick up access only with no parking.
Gilbert Mechanical preventive maintenance twice a year inspection of the HVAC roof top unit was taken off the table and considered. KC moved and Jim seconded entering into the contract. The motion passed unnanimously
The report from the city about bike lane and parking changes was considered. An additional bit of news from City Planning was presented by Walter along with possibilities of Fairview selling the houses, corner bank and parking lots. Its all in flux for the block, except for the Post Office.
The City of Minneapolis is going to resurface 31st St from Bloomington to the Light Rail and proposes assessing Walker CUMC $4,597.50. Wayne is going to make calls and go to the public hearing to question the figure based upon the three historic lots (28, 27,26 from N to S).
Wayne checked with the City about the street improvement assessment, but got a run around. He will attempt to learn more. Seems that the dollar amount may be a standard commercial assessment.
Ed Ed moved and Trenk seconded the design of a storage room in the basement in the area opposite the elevator doors. Passed unanimously.
Walter presented an outline of the request from Ace and Story for the next six months. The arrangement is to be month to month from June 1 to Dec. 1. Specifics of the letter of intent and the background learned with meetings and interviews of the principles were discussed. Ed Ed presented the Building Use Committee perspective. The water leak in the basement starting to show again is an issue to remember with assignment of storage space. KC moved concept approval with staff working out the details and distilling it into a month to month rental agreement to be shared with the Trustees electronically for negative polling. Passed Unimmously.
Walter requests: Nathan is available for K.C. move d approval $2,000.00 for wires and solder and connectors. Trenk seconded. Passed unnanimously

No update about the basement storage design in the space off the elevator.
The meeting was adjourned.
