CHEA Rep 1:
in the CHEA meeting last week, we have rental agreements with CHEA. the Board drafted a Mutual Termination Agreement, and the update that I got earlier today is that Fay hasn't signed it yet. what she'll get out of it is 2 months rent, forgiveness for all the labor. she'll get the option to stay in the house if she lets us know by a certain date, but that date passed yesterday. officially we have no news as to whether she's provided notice or signed the agreement.

Rowan: so the board agreed to the agreement she wrote?

Owen: no but we created our own with the same terms.
CHEA Rep 2:
Culture Coordinator:
Food Planner:
not much to say. switching food Shopper cards has created a delay. I need to wipe off the list.

Grounds Coordinator:
did a partial walk around with Owen today to discuss hose hookups. he mentioned getting timers in place so we can set it for however long we need it for. we're also talking about reducing the daily watering we've been doing all summer. I do have a little bit of research to do about that. I made up the link we got from Jessi about labor holiday tasks. it's actually fun–so please feel free to ask me questions if needed. –Mae

Owen: the main objective is to water the plants enough so they don't die. I've created the grounds watering schedule that's hanging up in the dining room.

Kitchen Kaiser:
I want to ask for more proactive communication from y'all regarding kitchen labor. For example, compost wasn't taken out a few times this week. It wasn't clear if it was:

-emptied then filled late at night -simply forgotten -not done yet -skipped due to laziness -etc

I know there is a lot going on with kitchen labor changes, the impending kitchen remodel and just a lot going on in the house in general. So I'll leave it at that. But kitchen labor is definitely being neglected.

Justin Kitchen Kaiser
Labor Czar:
new labor schedule. I still need to finish the accountability report. I need to count ballots, so if someone can help that'd be helpful. please vote. we also need a culture coordinator and Archivist. i'm not intending to run for labor czar again in November, so if anyone would be interested in learning more, let me know.

Maintenance Coordinator:

all maintenance requests are either handled or in process. Alice, i'll get with you about your room temperature. the main thing maintenance-wise is getting kitchen rebuild bids. by next week i'll have an update there. my intention with maintenance coordinator is to grab the bull by the horns so we have all the stuff running. then we can get things going there.

Alice: the issue with the AC would be too much to do. it's not very well insulated.

Bailey: we discussed changing the window before–if we did maybe we could get an AC unit in the new window.

Owen: i'll just meet with you this week
Mastodon Overblower:
my laundry list of tasks to do is pretty much the same. adding to the email list: Owen, Eevee, and other new members. editing the list to narrow down the business list, and the 2-factor authentication Google may be requiring. I'm assuming it's a phone number. i think the community should have a communal phone number. sorry I haven't made progress since last time.

Rowan: you don't need the Mastodon to be added to the business list Meeting Chair:
doing the meeting –David Membership Coordinator:
still looking to fill Room 3. the room swaps has been a hot mess. we were really flexible with Justin since the Fay situation required Justin to be flexible. Now we have someone on our wait-list who's interested in Nov 1 move-in. hopefully it'll be filled by the end of October. that'll be enough time for first and second meetings. for Fay's room, I haven't received confirmation about Oct 31 move-out date. I'll try to get with her about that.

Hey Sasona,

Here's a short list of what I've done this week:

– Spoke with David M about Fay's upcoming Membership Review due to Non-Performance of Labor. Ensured we don't currently have a signed document for her Mutual Termination Agreement. Since we do not have a signed copy, Fay's membership continues with its rights and responsibilities. – Reminded Shane about the pet policy and helped clarify how he can ensure his cats meet our current requirements. – Spoke with Olivia briefly about Pippin's missing fecal test. Olivia does not have a fecal test nor do we have a scheduled date to have one. We will discuss this further at tonight's meeting. I've linked the relevant documents regarding our current pet policy and eradication plan, and printed them off for tonight's meeting. Please review them as needed. – Helped coordinate our Labor Holiday task list. If anyone has any suggestions of things that could and should be done by 2 or more people in about 4 hours, please let me, Mae, Justin, or Owen know and we can add it to our Labor Holiday list. Officers please fill out your sections!! – Assisted Membership Coordinator with clarifying some of our acceptance policies to potential new members. – Reached out to the Board regarding some culture/community situation. (see below)

With a heavy heart, I want to let y’all know that Paul Wuersig — a long-time member at LaRe and our current NASCO Rep for CHEA — was involved in a collision with a car while riding his bike on Saturday, October 11. David M. mentioned this to me briefly, and I was able to get a bit more information from Corey on Thursday. As of this writing, Paul has not yet regained consciousness, but his body is responding to pain stimuli. His vitals are trending positive, though he’s still not out of the woods. Recovery is possible, but it may be a long road ahead.

Paul’s family is in town and will likely stay at his place at LaRe once their hotel stay ends. At this time, there isn’t any concrete information about the location of the accident, so we’re not yet able to reach out to the broader community for any potential footage.

Please keep Paul, his family, and our extended community in your thoughts. I’ve placed a blank card on the dining room table for us to sign with well-wishes to send to Paul when the time feels right. (Thank you, Mae, for providing the card.)

Lastly, I'd like to provide a BIG shout-out/kudos to anyone who showed up to help yesterday to help support our friend David M. Definitely a big thank you goes to the organizer-extraordinaires, Bailey and Vic. Y'all did a great job and it looks like you had fun doing it, too!! Thank you so much.

Thanks all. Please let me know how I can serve.

Best, Jessi Munn

I feel like a treasurer. I think Justin checked in for me, in the sense he gave kinda an introduction. I'll be able to talk with Corey on my next day off –Eevee
