II. Speakers
III. Old Business
- Resource Center:
Air
conditioning, front door, & light outside clinic door remain undone.
Lynne's letter generated
some movement. While the front door is not yet fixed, the landlord claims
that they had okayed the task, but the contractor dropped the ball. They
finally sent us our electric bill for the last several months. The total
was $2,874.31. We voted to pay the bill as it stands Yes=9, No=0,
but request detail billing in the future.
We still need key to electric service and will
request it again.
