- Electrical estimate and status. As of JAN 17 : The motor for the paint booth is 3-phase, and the panel is not currently wired for 3-phase. We do have 3-phase available, but the power company needs to come out and connect it before we can wire it up in our panel. The electrician should have a quote to us early next week. This is the work to run the 230v for the air compressor, install a disconnect and connect the 3-phase power to the paint booth, and install a GFCI outlet for the dust collector.
- Bylaws. Did the B.O.D. address these two topics:
- The address is wrong.
- Also, see the last page (page 12); I think they are expired?
- Reminder to add this to March agenda: Officer Elections need to be scheduled. Everyone think about positions.
