Tonight was the Automotive Committee meeting and chair vote. The meeting was pretty short and sweet, but here are the notes I took…
Members Present:
- Brandon Green
- Tom Tansy
- Walter Anderson
- Stan Simmons
- Zach Metzinger
- Merissa Green
Committee Chair Election:
- Tom confirmed his intent to run for chair
- All members voted in favor of Tom (yay! congrats Tom!
) - Brandon will stand down and let Tom take over managing area
)Committee Discussion:
-
Status of Parts Washer - DMS leases the parts washer for ~$300 a month, had it for about 2-3 years. Members voiced support for keeping it because of its usefulness, Tom is looking into another option that DMS could purchase that’s more dishwasher-style. Load parts in and turn it on rather than hold it in washer.
-
Desire for Auto Classes - Zach and Tom want to teach range of automotive classes. Committee was supportive, no restriction on classes in lease/insurance. Would be good source of revenue for the committee. Propose to charge small fee per class to ensure student attendance, much like what other committees have done successfully.
-
Idea to Add Exhaust Ventilation - Possibly add ducting to send fumes outside.
If I missed anything please share your thoughts
