Decision making in the building is multi-leveled. There are decisions made independently by Books through Bars and the A-Space Collective related to their respective programs. There are decisions relating to housing made by the residents who live on the second and third floors. When decisions involve everyone in the building (usually pertaining to the upkeep of the physical spaces, the LCA and building finances), they are discussed in “4722 Association” meetings with representation from each apartment, BTB, and the A-Space. The groups are also in regular contact via email and check in when there is overlap in processes. Decisions are made by reaching consensus.
