Minutes:

Monkeys:
Elph will follow up with Erik about mechanical timer
Elph will ask Erik for a repair date for hot tub

Decision: replace with the same stuff because of the cost and knowing that
we can't please everyone
Decision: new lamp for game room approved under Improvements

1 Stuff wrangler - what should do about top of mail boxes
Nancy would like to clean the top of the mail boxes off as per her job.
There is stuff, including lots of recycling, that she is not sure what to
do with. Some could be organized by someone with intentions to deal with
and some could be abandoned. She will ask Talk for help.

2 Replacing the detergent in the laundry room
We are out of detergent
It has gone much faster than last time
This one has been reported to cause some itchiness by two folks
One person would prefer liquid
The brand we use is $140 for 1250 loads.
Nothing else comes close to that price. Another option would be 2 to 3
times more expensive.
Liquid to be even that low in price would come in a difficult to use 5
gallon bucket. We could have a smaller dispensing bottle but who is going
to make sure it is filled?

Decision: replace with the same stuff because of the cost and knowing that
we can't please everyone, but keep an eye out for similar low priced
alternatives for next time.

3 New lamp for the game room
Yoga would like a $20 lamp for game room. It is a simple glass globe.
Aesthetically benign. Anyone can use it.
Decision: new lamp for game room approved under Improvements

4 What's with ye olde mac in the sitting room?
There is an old purple iMac in the sitting room.
The common house is not meant to be a dumping ground or even with the best
intentions a "surprise I gifted you a [blank]" place.
The procedure that we would urge folks to respect is to ask the CH
committee first.

5 There have been no other nasty incidents in the bathrooms.
6 The glass in the oven door has been replaced.
