Mustafa's suspension:

Mustafa has been suspended till the meeting, Mustaffa asks who has been inconvienienced by his amp volume Michael Sabrina, and Jeep, raise hands, Mustafa complains that jeep was not inconvenienced but simply was able to hear him.

Dianna Lays out three areas of difficulty, Mustafa's location tends to drift in towards the center, she asks him to decide permanently whether he will be selling or not. And she says his noise level is a problem.

Mustafa is asked to decide to sell or not sell his CD's from now on.

Mustafa explains the difficulty's he faces as a performer for example he doesn't have a visual draw. He also recounts that when a man approached him to buy a cd he explained to the man that he wasn't allowed to sell his cd's.

Mustafa is asked if he is happy in his location, he relies that he has made peace with it.

Mustafa states that he will not sell things until he decides what to do.

After some more dialog he again states that he is not going to sell.

Mustafa is asked to put that in writing, or to sign a statement to that effect, he refuses.

Mustafa recounts that the city has no problems with his volume levels.

The board again insists that Mustafa sign the statement that he will not sell. Mustafa leaves saying that his word should be good enough. Before he leaves he is informed that this suspension will remain in effect.

It is said that we should write a letter for Mustafa to sign, The letter will have the following information,

he may chose to sell and announce items are for sale or he may chose to not sell if he does not sell he can't advertise items for sale except for things available on the web.

He has his choice of using the two amplified spots.

It will also address his volume.

Dianna mentions that the PC should be involved in this issue because it is in regards to the sales of a product that they have approved.

Dianna mentions that we as an organization need a procedure by which a participant may be properly permanently suspended. Our lack of such a procedure may cause problems.

Sabrina mentions a previous board decision that states that suspensions would be 1 day – 3 days – 5 days – 30 days

Sabrina also asks Ryan to review the board minutes for modifications to the guidelines which have been voted on by the general membership and should be put into the guidelines.
