i3West Update

Nate B.-Door system is coming right alone, Joe took over assembling them. Everything looks good so far. I got the card keys and readers last week, everything works great. What we would like is someone who is better at programming to program it. The program example doesn’t fit the way we operate. It's all arduino.

Roger- I can help with that.

Nate B. - we need help with the key box. It is very narrow. The landlord agreed to the manual key.

Dustin – How much money did we save?

Nate B. - About $40 each

Matt A. - I asked him for a more specific date – he said Saturday

Ed P. - For where it says for a board to make a decision you should document that decision

Dustin W. - Is Saturday good?

Roger- is moving the trailer contingent on when he gets the doors on?

Matt A.- We need a plan to remove the trailer in the event that he does not take it.

Ted – I think you're right...we could put it on the street, but we will get a ticket. If we are going to do something with it, we need to make a good plan to move it. Saturday seems fine because we have no other plan.
