Common House minutes: 2013-06-15

Minutes:

Present: Heather, Elph, Paddy, Sari, Helen

*Solar proposal* -
We discussed the details of the proposal and did not have concerns. Heather
was pressured until she agreed to present the proposal to the community on
Monday, with Elph as her wing-man.

*Children and door codes* -
The new exercise room door code has been compromised. We agreed on a new
code for exercise room - Heather will ask Sarah to change it and an
announcement will be sent. *Children should not have the door codes*; this
is a safety issue, and even if a child is responsible, it can be very
tempting to share this info with other children.
Heather will send out policy reminders to GO and TS. Heather will also post
the child supervision policy in the CH bulletin board and in the exercise
room.
*
Soon-to-be-vacant office: Rental vs. CH command center* - Becky has vacated
the middle office so we are now short $206 per month. We'd like to keep
the income so Heather will send email to GO first, then SW and TS to find
out if there is interest in renting. Otherwise, we can look into making it
an office or perhaps another guest room.

*Dining chairs -*
Our CH chairs are 9 years old and need new glides so the floor isn't
damaged. Elph has contacted the company and is waiting for response on for
replacing them.
*
Fall season job assignments* -
It's time to start choosing pre-assignments. Usually assign:

- Counted members - Paddy, Sari, Elph plan to continue. Syndallas may
rejoin
- Convener - Heather will no longer be convener, so need new volunteer.
- Steering rep. - Sari will continue
- Aquarium manager - Eric
- Hot tub maintenance - Erik? Check with him
- Workshop manager - Jeff? Check with workshop group
- Maintenance coordinator - Heather will ask Sarah and ask about hours.
- Clean-up Coordinator - Nancy is willing


We need someone to be responsible for clearing the Lost and Found and
wrangling the items left in the CH - this task isn't appropriate for Work
Skills. We decided to create position of CH Flotsam Wrangler to collect,
display, and dispose of found items weekly - 1 hour per month. Heather
will add the job to the work survey and description to Wiki.
*Cleaning jobs descriptions -*
Helen presented proposed changes to the CH job descriptions taking into
account the Work Skills crew. We discussed and approved the changes and
Helen agreed to update the Wiki. We added pantry jobs to the Kitchen deep
cleaner description. Heather will notify current deep cleaner of changes
and ask about hours. As the Clean-up Coordinator, Nancy will communicate
with the Work Skills crew. Thanks to Helen and Nancy for going over the
jobs and making recommendations.

*Other-*

Sari is going to Lowe's today so will pick up a heavy-duty umbrella-style
clothes hanger

Sari will bring possible paint colors for dining room to next meeting.
We'd like to repaint during a Fall work day.
