TASK: Jillian will ask Patti about Process google drive acct info.

3. Next work season

Work season dates are Nov 1 2021 to April 30 2022.

Jillian to double check the number of facilitation slots to make sure we
have enough given the budget meetings and fewer alt meetings. We had facil
20 slots in May 1 to Oct 31. Done, same amount needed Nov 1 to April 30.

Question about if we should keep the Tri-community facil group job, 0.5
hours/month. Jillian has not been getting to it. And at the same time we
are losing facilitators too, so seems like the wrong time to deactivate the
group. But zoom fatigue. Jillian could try for an in person outdoor meeting
in Sept or October and then brainstorm if there’s interest and how to meet.
TASK: Jillian will email all facils and ask for their opinion on it.

Idea of a new process job, email discussion with Willie in July. To go back
in and mark old agreements as obsolete or expired, needs manual labor and
judgement by a human, and likely other cleanup tasks too. And, what about
all those pesky special characters generated from Word docs that ended up
in the BOA. 1 hour a month. Call it Book of Agreements Content Cleaner.
Preassign Willie, and he will write up the list of tasks and their priority
as a first step and run it by us. This may be a single-season job, or, if
Willie finds there really is a lot of cleanup to do, perhaps it will
continue to another season we’ll see.

Jillian is willing to convene
Becky H will do steering rep

We have until Sept 23 for preassignments but earlier is better.
We do need to start emailing about preassignments - such as CRC

TASK: Becky H will email CRC and check in, ask if they’d like to continue,
and if they’d like to meet with Process any time soon.
Becky H will email to check in on interest in process cmtee.

4. Skills and Thrills

Next steps? Cmty agenda item? Had previously talked about creating more
outdoor art; would have to happen fast and we usually need a professional
involved. Previous Idea for garage murals or if there are any exposed hot
boxes. But actually the garage siding needs repair in a good number of
places and are also up for repainting. Several (most?) hotboxes are covered
by greenery now.

Has to either be outdoors or zoom, can’t be indoors since some people would
not be able to go. And actually even outside, people would need to be
somewhat distanced, or able to be distanced and still participate, for
those who don’t feel comfortable being in close quarters.

We could propose that it be via zoom and see if people have ideas of what
they might want to do.

We could do prework for a community art project? Have people do drawings
and then share via zoom then do the project in 2022?

How about any kind of kit we could distribute and then everyone create or
decorate and then we each hang or somehow display outside. (Sort of did
that with the snowflakes but more substantial.)

Yard art you put on a stick and put in your front yard before the ground
freezes. Those birds on a stick with the wings that spin, (whirligig?) and
everyone paints one?

"Gazing ball" yard art - wonder if there are ones you can paint yourself,
maybe there are metal ones not glass?

Resin animals that can be painted? Bunnies, squirrels?

Wonder if we could make the parts of something via Maker Works?

TASK: Both of us to do some googling about outdoor art project ideas -
something each household could make. We could buy supplies and/or maybe
maker works. Then a show and tell and everyone put them in front yards.

5. Discussion about changing the word Monkey to something neutral - any
next steps?
Zingerman’s - some businesses changed over to just using “Task”. Others
decided to use “Promise”.
Last time we talked about using Goose on a Roof, cute, but seems too
contrived for people to actually use, unless we just used "Goose"?
For now lets just start using TASK in Process committee. Maybe should make
this a community agenda item in the fall.

6. Process Google Drive account
TASK: Jillian will ask Patti what password is. Owner is
gocoho.docs at gmail.com
