Todo

Also see Volunteers.

  • New signage - one wood, one plastic-type
  • Lot cleaning and re-striping
  • Event space - clean up stage, sheetrock
  • Cafe - get permits and stuff
  • Outside literature thing - stays dry, keeps people informed after hours
    • maybe as simple as a cork board covered with a sheet of plexiglass hinged at top, latched/locked at bottom
  • Office feng shui
  • Paint pot leaf on roof
    • visible from airplanes, aerial photography (to show up in Google Maps, etc.)
    • consider painting "http://cdc.coop/" or "www.cdc.coop" also
  • Find light switch/breaker for the other half of outside lights (half are controlled by breaker -- labeled -- in kitchen)
    • 12 lights * 100 watts each * 24 hrs * 30 days * $0.08 per killowatt-hour = $70/month to power our floodlights 24/7
    • dusk-to-dawn sensor or timer even better
      • 1 - 2 months of not running lights during daylight hours could cover cost of this
  • Evaluate state of refrigerators and freezers

Taxes

Without employees, we save ourselves much tax and paper work. We are already required to pay:

  • Washington corporate renewal - $59
  • Washington DoR combined excise tax - tax on gross revenue & retail sales tax
  • IRS annual filing - gross revenues?

If we set up shop in Seattle, we will also need to pay:

  • Seattle business license - $90
  • Seattle business license tax - tax on gross revenue


Patient retail inventory

The store will likely have minimal space, and probably won't stock everything. We can refer people to other places. Maybe we'll stock only stuff we think works good.
