UV Printer: For covering our cost fee, we will post a QR code for our Paypal. It cost 40 cents/ml, compulsory donation of 60 cents per ml when you're using.

New Business: Incident: During the sticker class, during the planned class Chris Smith demanded the code for the laser and was told to take the class. Chris took the class and not the exam and did not pass the exam. He wasn't given permission to run the laser without Jeep. He loaded 200 of the prints and started the machine and ignored the request to not run the machine during the class. Jeep asked him to stop, Chris refused. Machines that require tests are black and white. Running louder machines during scheduled classes needs to be posted/changed to bylaws because it is a gray area. Bill or Mike will talk to him with a quiet conversation. Rules will need to be officially amended so we have a policy in writing. Precedence gets codified when it is pressured or broken. We will post a new rule that when class is being given, no loud machines will be run. Code of conduct violation not given. Investigation closed.
