+  * Any property not meeting the [[standing_rules#storage|Storage]] requirements below will be considered abandoned. The Board of Directors reserves the right to dispense with said property in whatever manner they see fit (see 5.2).
 **5.2  Handling Abandoned Property at The Bodgery **
 Because The Bodgery must actively defend itself from clutter and unwanted property, abandoned property is treated as though the owner places no value on it and will not return to claim it. In the interest of the members of The Bodgery and their need for a clean, safe workshop, the Board of Directors will thus use or dispose of the abandoned property however it sees fit.
 Property is considered abandoned if it meets at least one of the following criteria:
-  * The property is neither shared nor donated, violates the safe storage rules, has no attached Parking Permit, and has an attached Parking Ticket with an expired grace period
+  * The property is neither shared nor donated, violates the safe storage rules, has no attached Parking Permit or has been stored more than 30 days
   * The property is in member storage and is either stored unsafely or exceeds the owning member’s plot
   * The property is owned by a former member and has not been collected within thirty days of that person’s departure from The Bodgery
+  * Any other criteria defined in section 6 ([[standing_rules#storage|Storage]]).
-**5.3  Abandoned property **
+The following may or may not occur, at the discretion of the board and if volunteer time and Bodgery space is available:
-Member property that is not stored completely in their storage space, or does not have a parking permit attached will be considered abandoned. Space permitting, abandoned property will be moved to the Hack Rack. If there is not adequate space on the Hack Rack for the abandoned property, it will first be offered to area captains and then either donated, recycled, or thrown in the trash.
+  * The member may be contacted about the abandoned property (but only if labeled)
+  * The abandoned property may be relocated to a designated area for a limited amount of time
-//Note: It is wise to label with your name anything personal you bring to and use in the space. Accidents happen and everyone forgets things occasionally. To maintain ownership of your property, please label accordingly.//

   * Property left leaning against a wall, beam, or storage area
   * Property piled in front of a storage area
+  * For property in the outside back parking area...
+    * You must request and receive Board approval prior to leaving any items/projects (including vehicles and trailers) in the outside back parking area for more than 24 hours. Board approval can be sought by emailing the Board (<board@thebodgery.org>) or messaging the Slack #ask-the-board channel. Any items/projects left for more than 24 hours without approval or past the expiration of the Board’s approval can be removed at the member’s expense or disposed of by a Board member (see also 5.2 abandoned property).
+    * Any member working in the outside back area (or any area of the Bodgery) is required to clean up their mess. If painting, staining, or doing any type of work that will leave a stain on the pavement, please put something down on the ground to prevent stains. The dumpster often has boxes that can be used or you can use brown paper from the clean room for this. If you accidentally or purposely leave a stain please clean it up immediately. If you are not able to clean it up immediately, please notify the Board to discuss clean up.
 **6.2  Member Storage**
-Each member is entitled to one “plot” in member storage, which is a defined, limited space for keeping his or her private property.
+Each member is entitled to one “plot” in member storage, which is a defined, limited space for keeping his or her private property, typically an allotment of member shelving. Each member must label their plot with their name and telephone number in case they need to be contacted for some reason.
-Each member must keep their private property in only one plot and not exceed the physical dimensions of that plot. The only exception is for approved oversized property.
+Each member must keep their private property in only one plot and not exceed the physical dimensions of that plot. The only exceptions are for property tagged with a Parking Permit (see 6.3) or in the outdoor back parking area (see 6.1).
-Member property that is not stored safely or does not fit in the member’s plot is both dangerous and disrespectful and is considered abandoned (see 5.2.2).
+Member property that is not stored safely, not properly labeled or not in an appropriate area is both dangerous and disrespectful and is considered abandoned (see 5.2).
+A properly labeled but empty member storage plot (shelf) may be reclaimed for use by other members if it remains empty two weeks after the Bodgery Operations Manager or designee places a notice of non-use on the plot/shelf.
 **6.3  Parking Permits**
-Once the Board of Directors approves a piece of property for storage outside “Member Storage” at The Bodgery, the member owning the property must attach to it a completed Parking Permit.
+If a member has a personal project that is difficult to transport back and forth from home and won't fit in their member storage plot, they may fill out a “Parking Permit” (found in a holder in the main project parking area). The project can be stored in a designated shared project parking area for up to 14 days with an option for a 14 day extension. This is to allow for paint/glue drying, time required to acquire sustenance, or taking short breaks between working on it. Space at the Bodgery is a valuable and limited resource, so please be considerate of others and do not store items for extended periods of time.
-The Parking Permit must indicate: Who owns the property; where at The Bodgery it is to be stored; the owner’s contact email address and/or phone number; the date when the Parking Permit expires; the date the Board of Directors approved the Parking Permit; and the signature of a Board member.  Parking Permits should not be granted for longer than 30 days.
-The oversize property must be stored in its designated spot at The Bodgery with the Parking Permit visibly affixed. When the Parking Permit expires, the member must either apply for a new one or immediately remove the property from The Bodgery.
+The stored item must have a completed “Parking Permit” physically attached to it in a visible location. The parking permit must be filled out with the owner's name, contact phone/email and the date the permit expires. When the Parking Permit expires, the member must either extend the permit by updating the expiration date or immediately remove the property from the Bodgery.
+Items that have been stored more than 30 days, have expired permits, are not stored safely, not properly labeled or not in an appropriate area are both dangerous and disrespectful and will be considered abandoned (see 5.2).
