Common House minutes: 2012-09-22

Minutes:

Present: Jim, Heather, Paddy, Becky

Agenda:

Follow up on TS Proposal
It Passed! Monkey- Becky will contact Gayle to find out who all at TS should be notified. New rate starts Jan 2013, need to notify finops.


Possible cuts to budget:
Cut kitchen improvements - that cuts $1000
Improvements? checked in with Adi. Hot Tub will give us the biggest bang for the buck in terms for saving utiltites. Ted's idea was $1000, Erik's was $500. So, we're going to put in $1200 for improvements. This way, whatever is leftover can go towards blinds. Even if we just end up doing 1 room, that is great.

Online Reservation System. Heather is going to check in with Adi. That is free. Otherwise we need to start over with SuperSass. If we try Adi's for 1 year, it gives us a good idea of what we need for a different system.
