Meeting commenced at 6:30 pm at 418 E 11th St, New York, NY 10009.
June Meeting Minutes Postponed
Al moved that the organization postpone approval of the June 2025 Meeting Minutes.
The motion to postpone was adopted without objection.
Review of Make Music New York
The event went well, with good music and sound. There was room for improvement in terms of attendance. $80 was donated, and the sound permit was covered by Make Music New York, saving us $45.
July Live Music Series
Our next Live Music Series is July 26th from 3 to 7 pm. We need ice and pizza. Jackie will handle picking up the pizza. We should post on social media to advertise the event.
August Live Music Series
Gina is not present to discuss.
Painted Canvas Background for Music Events
Jaz and Al are working on this.
Concrete Cylinder Project
We want to expand the back walkway next to the furthest back plot. The bench that was added has made the walkway very narrow and hard to use. We already have the tools for the job, so there is no anticipated delays. We will dig down 10-12”, and place the concrete conduit in the ground with 17” left sticking out. The estimated work is two 6-hour days. The exact timeline will be determined.
Liz moved that the organization approve the Concrete Cylinder Project as documented.
The motion was adopted.
Circular Pit Wall Repair Project Progress
The cracks have all been filled. Wood planks can be added for backing.
Re-evaluate Musician Travel Compensation
Gina is not present to discuss.
Revisit plans regarding improving the brick walkway
No update on this item.
Revisiting MLT Financial Sponsorship
No update on this item.
Sealing Circular Deck Seats & Floor
The supports under the circular pit are rotting. Applying deck sealant will prevent further deterioration. Ross proposes we sand the wood, then seal. The price is estimated to be $39.99, and we already have the tools necessary. We won’t apply the sealant until after the edges of the deck have been properly rounded around the surrounding rocks.
Ross moved that the organization allocate $50 of garden funds towards deck sealant for the circular pit.
The motion was adopted.
Reallocating Garden Lumber [tabled]
No update on this item.
Meeting adjourned at 7:30 pm.
Our next meeting will be held on Monday, August 11th, 2025, from 6:00 to 7:30 pm, starting promptly at 6:30 pm.
