> 1. We did a tour of the CH and decided where to put 4 soap dispensers.
> Mac will order, Erik will install. These dispensers will use the
> same
> soap as we are now buying (Doc Bronners?)
>
> 2. Recycle baskets: The hall cleaners have asked to be relieved of
> this job. We want to keep our workers happy (they get 2 hrs/month).
> We will try an experiment for the rest of this work season: People who
> like and use the baskets may sign up for a turn to empty them. When
> they take their turn, they will cross their name off and date it. This
> will tell us how many times the baskets need to be emptied in case we
> decide to make this a work position next season. We will also
> encourage people to sign up for junk mail opt-outs. Community input
> desired.
>
> 3. Reserve fund update: The media system and the dining room tables
> are scheduled to be replaced in 2008. We won't use all the media
> money, and the tables can't be built until the workshop is functional.
> We will ask about using reserve fund moneys for other purposes:
> a. There is a strong desire to replace that carpeting. We will
> survey the community to determine which rooms have the strongest need
> for
> new flooring. Should the game room be carpeted or Marmoleum-ed?
> Should both sections of the kid's room be carpeted? The back (art)
> section has Marmoleum under the carpet. Should we have carpet that
> can be rolled up? Carpet tiles? Community input desired.
>
> 4. Media system: the sound/movie/CD/DVD system has been upgraded.
> Several members have been working hard on this, and several have
> donated equipment. The previous CH committee decided to keep the TV
> set.
>
> Other:
> 1. If we used advance funds from the reserve, would we have a special
> assessment at some point? (We say nay)
> 2. The game room needs drapes/blinds plus a cover for the skylight so
> that we can show movies.
> 3. Workday jobs left over: Those ceiling fans are really filthy. I
> guess we'll clean them when the black crap starts falling into our
> dinners.
> 4. Solar exhaust fans are expensive and may not work with peaked
> ceilings. Disagreement about reversible ceiling fans.
> 5. Old slip cover (blue denim) formerly used in media room will be
> offered to the community. If no one wants it, it will go to PTO or
> eCycle.
>
> Note to self: Should we have 2 meetings instead of one. It seems that
> Mac can come in the evening and Heather & Emily can meet during the
> day.
