• Loss of $1300 in income this year mainly due to COVID
• Do not have many active members, 5 board members.
• The society has $45,000 in cash, out of which $20,000 was raised from 3 people to build a climate-controlled building (indicated this was no longer a viable option).
• Still Interested in climate-controlled storage and looking at the former assessor’s office in Sawyer Hall to store items such as documents, textiles, some artwork.
• Would need to put in a mini split with separate meter.
• Since the use would not be open to the general public, Bob felt ADA compliance would not be an issue.
