We haveto apply with probate judge – they have to decide if we need a localshooter. Application costs $10. We may have to have a standby firewatch. Could go as high as $5,000, which was our budget.Contractors are not participants and do not need invites. They areallowed on site for a period of time before and after their contractedjob. Subjective. Can be ejected by 3 team leads. In/out policy doesn'tapply to contractors.Lamenants – for gate people and for pyro people, potty people andSmokey's guests. Waivers for contractors. (Rebecca: review waiver toput on back of lamenant and get a thing for Smokey to sign)Waiver changes:not necessarily the best waiver – Rebecca will re-work and submit this week.Invitations sales:At last glance, 622. That puts us at 992 estimated. Not at the pointwhere all our budget items will be paid for, but we are close.Survival Guide:Lee will connect with Scott to get updates done. Board to get updatesby midnight tonight. Lee to submit recommendations by tomorrow. Maygive us time to get the map together.Storage Unit/Container:We will have more stuff this year than will fit in our storage unit.We either have to get a second storage unit, which doubles our cost($90 prepaid, so it would be $200/month), or we can get a storagecontainer and leave it on Smokey's land. If we put a storage containeron his land, we need a lease with him. Saves us money for moving thecontainer back and forth ($~400 + either way). We may not have moneyright now – we will have to see. We go month to month automatically atthe storage unit.If we can time it so we have a storage unit on site at the end of theevent, we won't need a moving truck, etc. Tunna to check on numbersagain for container.Pre-work weekend.Next weekend, 18-20. Talk to Scarlett about moving Connexus stuff toCo-Lab. We have a lot of tasks left – try to centralize all the stuff,even personal projects. Troy to talk to Scarlett about moving Connexusstuff. Clove to include in Atl Announce (along with gate open timesfor Alchemy).Effigy and Temple build.Temple-Saw designs for Temple. Need wood order. Lee will talk to Robert aboutlack of wood order. No plan to pre-build until Build weekend.Effigy-Green needs to order wood for facing. Troy to follow up with Green forwood order. We can rent a 10” saw, here in town. Encourage Green towork at Co-Lab.Truck rental.We will probably have to rent truck anyway. U-Haul is good because wecould drop off at storage unit.
