Meeting Minutes 202508055 August 2025Modify the standing rules safety section to be
  1. Safety is the top responsibility of every member and guest, not just for you but for everyone around you.
  2. It is the responsibility of every member and guest to understand the safe use of any tool or equipment before using it.
  3. When using any equipment or work area, you are responsible for warning those around you of any safety considerations (such as fumes or flying chips).
  4. All pets must be on a leash and under the supervision of their guardian while at i3Detroit.
  5. Members must not engage in or allow unsafe practices by any guest or other member. Examples of unsafe practices include but are not limited to:
    1. Not using appropriate personal protective equipment. i3Detroit provides eye, ear, hand, head, and respiratory protection of many kinds for this reason.
    2. Operating equipment under the influence of alcohol or any intoxicating substance. The use of any substances that can alter or impair mental abilities (including but not limited to medications, drugs, and alcohol) can greatly increase the risk of injury.
    3. Using tools unsafely such as wearing long sleeves while using a lathe

Board Meeting Minutes 2025031818 March 2025Affirm the verbal decision to cancel the "bonus" month for annual dues payments.

Monthly dues are $59 and annual dues $708.Tim ClaysonFrank A60PASS

Board Meeting Minutes 2024011616 January 2024WHEREAS Deb Scott has demonstrated a pattern of initiating frequent conflicts with numerous other members, due to her attitude of assuming the worst,

AND WHEREAS Deb Scott consistently responds to conflicts in a way that makes conflicts intractable,

AND WHEREAS Deb Scott has been repeatedly advised on how to improve her handling of conflicts with other members, but seldom remembers these interactions, and is mistaken when she does remember,

AND WHEREAS Deb Scott does not understand, remember, and follow established rules and procedures, especially in terms of anything involving paperwork, which reduces the enthusiasm of members in good standing to making a contribution to i3Detroit if it risks her involvement,

AND WHEREAS this pattern has persisted throughout Deb's membership at i3Detroit, beginning in late 2022 and continuing through 2023 without improvement,

AND WHEREAS Deb Scott's position is that i3Detroit's conflict resolution process, elected board of directors, appointed officers, and those to whom she can turn for redress of grievances, is (in her own accounting) discredited, and wrong in setting limits on her, and cannot be trusted to redress her grievances, making her further participation in i3Detroit unacceptable to both Deb Scott and i3Detroit,

AND WHEREAS despite the above, Deb Scott continues to participate and act in a manner that indicates no willingness to change, making it necessary for i3Detroit to initiate a separation,

WE RESOLVE that, effective December 31, 2023, Deb Scott shall be banned from all spaces operated by i3 Detroit indefinitely until the board of directors votes to overturn this ban.

WE RESOLVE FURTHER that, effective December 31, 2023, Deb Scott shall be banned from all i3 electronic communication channels.

WE RESOLVE FURTHER that, effective December 31, 2023, Deb Scott is unwelcome at and may not participate in any i3 Detroit presence occurring at either public or private events.

WE RESOLVE FURTHER that any personal property of Deb Scott that remains in the space as of January 31, 2024, shall be considered donated to i3.

WE RESOLVE FURTHER that the Secretary is directed to add Deb Scott to the list of banned persons kept near the entrance, and directed to send a notice of this proposal to the i3-announce mailing list.
