Laundry room - Transition to new laundry policies happened. Feedback from
Helen about contradiction between request to lay laundry out flat and put
it basket. Syndallas will edit poster and make final version. Sari will
take abandoned laundry that has been here for 6 weeks to Share House today,
along with the guff left by the coat area.

Guest room code - Sarah changed the guest room lock as planned and has set
the code. Folks can find the new code in the key lock box along with
instructions for changing it. There are 2 keys for entry , but those
should be used only in case of emergency/forgotten code. Sarah also
installed a sliding bolt for guests to use from the inside. Sarah will
send out new code

Guest room 7 day policy - Currently we have a policy of not signing out
the GR for more than 7 consecutive days, but some have asked to know if
exceptions are possible. Becky and Hermann handled this well - If folks
need the GR longer, they should sign out for 7 days and email the community
to ask others if they need it during the additional time.

Elliptical - Syndallas needs help/support moving forward. Shall we meet at
Sears to try them? - There are 2 specific machines rated highly by CR that
we are considering. We will meet at the CH at 9:15 am on Monday, March 11
and carpool to breakfast and go to Sears around 10:00 am to try machines.
Syndallas will email the models we are consdering to Talk so that others
can try them out and give input if they wish.

Meals storage - Greg asked Sarah to talk to the committee about adding
storage in the CH for food storage - bulk buying and community canning. At
alternative meeting groups brainstormed solutions that would be simple to
implement. Ideas: inside cupboards in sitting room, where desk next to
computer is, furniture for DR nook, add cupboards above cubbies/mailboxes.
Meals committee gives blessing to research furniture pieces for DR nook and
under counter and bring prices/options to the committee. Have to look into
budget to see if we can contribute. Sarah and Greg also have to talk to
Meals.

Electrical - Kitchen outlet still needs to be fixed. Sarah hasn't heard
from electrician, so Sarah will call another.

Hobart if fixed - all covered under our service contract.

Tables - Melissa has paid for the tables, so we need someone to drive the
truck for her. Need to send out another email. Heather will email Melissa
and communities. Maybe move them to garage temporarily.

Next meeting: March 16
