 ====== **Space Usage Request** ======
-Applegate:  Katy Livingston wants to use part of our space as practice space as a professional circus performer.  She has her own insurance.  She prefers a location with I Beams but would be willing to bring own alternative.
+Katy Livingston wants to use part of our space as practice space as a professional circus performer. She has her own insurance. She prefers a location with I Beams but would be willing to bring own alternative.   We need to determine how long would she want to use the space.  Her interest in the space was forwarded to Al. Some concerns were raised about how she might appropriately pay for the space and whether it is appropriate if she is not doing a 'Maker' thing.   She should have 2 memberships if bringing a partner.  By them both becoming members she would be covered by our insurance too.  Katy indicated that she would be putting a rider on her insurance for this address. We should have her organize with us so she is not practicing during meetings and that there could/will be bystanders.
-Flaga:  How long would she want to use the space
-Raymond:  Her interest in the space was forwarded to Al
-Canino-Koning:  It is super questionable for us to be making money from her using the space when we are not paying rent.
-Flaga:  What about new space?
-Applegate:  She offered to become a member but she would be dominating a lot of space.
-Adams: The question I have is, how to handle this when it is not really a maker thing.  You can use space if it is a maker thing.
-Flaga:   Are there any obstacles for Al?
-Adams:  She comes with her own insurance.
-Flaga:  Maybe we want to put it to the members?
-Adams:  Question number one, are we actually perplexed about this?
-Flaga:  You are alluding that no one is against it, but is it really about making?
-Raymond:  Even though it is tangential since there is an end to our using Adams:  Maybe we could charge her a day rate?
-Applegate: I thought we would charge her as a member.
-Flaga:  Having her be a non-member seems like a quagmire we do not want to get into.
-Canino-Koning: If she is not a member we would have to make policies to cover that and it would create hassle.
-Applegate: She would be bringing a partner and equipment.
-Bphm: Guests can not use tools.
-Canino-Koning: She should have 2 memberships.
-Flaga: By them both becoming members she would be covered by our insurance too.
-Adams: Our insurance covers the lab.
-Applegate: She indicated that she would be putting a rider on her insurance for this address.
-We should have her organize with us so she is not practicing during meetings.
-Adams:  We should broach with her the fact that there will be bystanders
-Bohm:  It could be cool to have a contact with performers for events.
