Present: Becky, Melisa, Laura, Jenny, Amy N, Ted


Agenda: Monkey Reviews Lease Questions Painting update Kitchen Update Room Use Policy Review Money? Game Room Feedback


DECISIONS MADE:

* Rest of CH painting is now on hold. People are tired, and with it being spring, everyone is turning their attention to outdoor projects, both personal and community.

Room Use Guidelines. We reviewed the revised proposal. Tweaked a few phrases.

side conversation - could we make mtg time 'quiet time' for the kids as well. The noise can be distracting. Katie had suggested adding a door. We'll track this for a later meeting.

Agreed with the changes, it's ready to go before the community. Becky will present.


Window Screens all got put in - Big thanks to Amy N!

Cup Dispenser - Rod still working on this.

MONKEY TO ANYONE willing to take it on - we need the guest room bathroom painted. Painting update: people are feeling kinda burned out. Dining room still needs second coat. Still needs trim done. This room takes a big commitment. Acknowledgment that it's spring, everyone wants to focus on their personal projects. Suggestion that we leave this open. DECISION: putting the painting in the freezer.

Melisa will email community to come get painting supplies. Becky will move treadmill in as soon as possible.

Office Lease questions:

1. Decided that Becky will follow up with insurance point person to see if we can take that out.

2. Paint issue. Becky brought up that the paint fee doesn't seem fair. Lots of talking, no strong feeling either way. Decided that would just leave it for now.

Game Room Update: Melisa posted notice, 6 people responded. Almost everyone in favor. A few comments about being able to change mind later. Pool table is not on trial basis. We are good to go with Game room equipment. Outstanding question of how to maintain. Basic repairs will come out of operating budget, with the understanding that if someone does break something they pay for it.

UPDate on Mailboxes - Chuck hasn't been responding from doors and drawers. Jenny will talk to Jeff and see when he can do it. Floor sealing: waiting to see if there is any other way to get the stains out. Jenny is heading this up.

Talked about the painting of eaves, Jenny is going to look into costs of hiring this out. We will approach community with the numbers vs how much work it will take to do it ourselves. Decision: co-sponsoring agenda item for next business mtg to talk about painting of eaves and costs.


FOR NEXT WEEK: art vs cork computer location Ted's rack Meals bulletin board Noise during mtg times - suggestions


COOLER: someone needs to work on laundry outside venting.
