CH Committee Meeting - Nov 22, 2014

OLD MONKEYS
Jim will get pricing on a replacement dryer from Big George to help us make
a decision.

Something comparable to what we have is $750. To repair is $300 - this
would be the third repair in less than 6 months, on an old machine. A
couple of dozen folks use the laundry room. We will check with Becky for
advice. Need a shopper.

Jim will call the flooring guy about the wobbly toilet
The wobble is now reduced to a smidgen - we think it seems good.

Jim will talk to Mei Chu about CH cmtee
Did not because she had given it a minus 2.

Elph will purchase detergent for laundry room
Done. And email notice sent to GOTS

Elph will punt replacement of small fridge over to Meals.
Done.

Elph will do CH pre-assign workers
Done.

Elph will ask George to look into some way to restrict the air flow in the
exercise room vent - it's mighty hot in there for people exercising
Done and George took care of it. George said, "I would suggest a
variable flow register (16in. X 6in. with two screws on 14.5 in. centers).
Menard's Model 382W16X6 White for $10.29. In the meanwhile I fashioned a
magnetic flap that covers the register and blocks the heat flow. Pull the
attached string for heat. Push the flap into place with the broom to block
the heat flow."

Elph will notify talk that the exercise room lock code will change on Dec
1st
Done

Elph will ask George to put fresh batteries in the double door locks.
Done. Thanks!

Elph will talk to Steve & Vashi and Nancy about CH cmtee
Done. They all responded enthusiastically.

Kathy will contact AEDSuperstore about the AED replacement
Done and the new one is here.

Kathy will talk to Jennifer about CH cmtee
Done. She says Ben is interested.

NEW BUSINESS

Batteries - Hope points out that we need AAA for the tv remotes. Elph notes
we need AA for the microphones and some of the door locks. So we need AA
and AAA. We discussed the option of recyclable batteries and noted the cost
and the management aspect of charging and storing and decided that was not
a good option for the CH. Jim will buy regular AA and AAA next time he is
at Meijer. Bulk packs. Go cheap.

NEW MONKEYS
Elph will send an invite to Deb to attend our meetings

Jim will buy batteries.
