common house commitee minutes 5/31

Discussion began with spead sheet for common house furnishing. The inital spreadsheet inclused 3 cost levels for furnishing all room of the common house.

We discussed how to bring down total cost since high end of common house furnishing equals about $65,000 and base equals $45,000

Group decided to portion common house rooms into two groups "high priority" rooms which include laundry, kid's room, dining room, kitchen, networking-and bath and "lower priority" rooms which include sitting room, exercise room, offices, 2nd bath, misc, game room and media room.



The reasoning for this is that the high dollar amount may make some people reluctant to vote for funding the common house at either base or high-end and this might turn choices into an either or situation when weighed against other items vying for contingency funds



We will instead create 3 packages that allow the community to vote for either base funding or high end funding for the high priority items and decide how to combine that with funding the lower priority rooms. three scenarios we proposed are:

1. Fund high priority rooms at base plus lower priority rooms at below base/minimal for about $36,000

2. Fund high priority rooms at base and lower priority rooms at base for about $42,000

3. Fund high priority rooms at high end and lower priority rooms at base for about $56,000 - $60,000



In all scenarios we decided to take out funding for a hot tub and let it stand as its own proposal for use of the contingency fund

[[Elph]] graciously agreed to make adjustments to the spead sheet of costs to reflect these changes and to reword the common house committee proposals to the Finance [[Committee]] to show these adjustments
