October 2012 Meeting Minutes


October 23, 2012 (Sofia)

Community Patrons:
1. discussed their use of the facility, recently we had several issues in a row.
2. we need to think about the possibility of eventually either charging community to use the facilities/computers or not letting them use the facilities at all.
