As treasurer, I cannot reasonably vote for this considering our financial realities. However, I do think this needs to be done.

I will support the eventual decision of the co-op, but do not have a vote to give on this topic.

Thanks Roz for your essential input. I'm voting against the proposal in light of your feedback.

I'm going to continue to explore and implement cost-effective solutions for improving the building's environmental performance (e.g., adding weather seal to the fire escape door in the collaboratory), which also will improve the efficiency (hence, cost) of the system. I've looked over this proposal previously and it bothers me that our system, being so new, and I assume, reasonably well-designed, needs such expensive maintenance. I'd like to get some more info on what's going on in here and how we can potentially address it for a more reasonable cost.

Also, I'm still not totally clear how this proposal serves to explain the heating issues...we should talk more about this.

So this is the statement that I will make over and over again....we are in debt over $180,000. We have a total of less than $10K in the bank. As it gets colder, our costs to heat the building will only increase. It is important to do this, yes, but there are realities of running this coop that we really need to stay on top of. I am sorry to constantly be beating this drum but I don't really know what else to say here. We need to do this, yes, but we need to be doing a lot of things.
