We felt that contingent hours haven,...™t been working, so we probably should
think about other options. We ought to split our jobs smaller, which would
lead to a more even distribution. We ought to split up head cooks even
smaller, into single meals. We could also split assistant cook to 2 meals
per season instead of 4. This would make it a 1-hour allotment.

For a replacement meals system, we ought to come up with a design, and
determine a scope of the functionality, and then find someone to do it. We
need to involve more than just GO in this, since SW and TS use the system
too.

It should be possible to setup a text message system.

TS meals starting up again. Meals should contact Jennifer, and let her know
about the calendar is yet to come.

Should we remove thursdays and just schedule meals every tuesday? Malcolm
will send out an email soliciting feedback. ,...Scheduling meal dates, times,
