+===== Agenda Item 1 =====
+(Eevee) To allow associate member Ella to substitute an 2 extra lumps per week for 4 weeks a month in lieu of associate fee payment to be approved as requested by labor czar and in leu of meeting for the month
+eevee: ella wants to do more work around the house and in return would like not to pay a food. ella has a well proven track record of meeting expectations and i feel comfortable with her doing this.
+dj: ella is a delightful and beautiful human being. not a zookeeper who is human.
+david: the same question was asked 3 seasons back and its a nasco issue that we couldnt transfer labor for a fee
+jessi: $80 is change when it comes to the entire rent we pay. it basically goes to food. $10 a lump. its eactly the same. labor or rent.
+david: were setting a precedent
+eevee: ellas initial agenda item was more encompassing but we changed it to just be ella. its from a proven track record. its an exception more than the rule
+david: ellas character is not in my mind. i just worry about the fairness
+bridgit: ella's meals are high tier stuff. is the labor worth equal to or more than the payment. is your labor really worth more than the fund
+eevee: bridgit touched on what i was going to say. david wants to avoid it being the quality of the labor. we vote and decide if in the vote if that person meets those expectations.
+david: it could make our associate system wonky. some people are going to say thats not fair. its not about ella its about
+dj: if subsequent members could outperform, then they could try
+eevee: we can share how our community had a discussion and then will know how our process looks. if we don't feel confident, we can say maybe not.
+david: can we have associate members with no fees
+bridgit: everybody likes ella. i appreciate your thinking about it david. dont forget this process is not permenant and its fluid. we could look at it again and say we need to not do this.
+eevee: this is for the remainder of her contract
+motion: To allow associate member Ella to substitute an 2 extra lumps per week for 4 weeks a month in lieu of associate fee payment to be approved as requested by labor czar and in leu of meeting for the month
+eevee: i motion that associate ella for the duration of her contract will have 2 additional lumps of labor a month in lieu of associate member fee.

+===== Agenda Item 2 =====
+(Eevee) purchase of window obstruction: either a window tint for $250 or a budget of $50 for creative materials
+eevee: if we could decide between the more expensive one or creative materials. the expensive option
+david: cheaper option always
+eevee; it might be cheaper to do the more expensive option because we oculd get it reimbursed by energy savings and insurance
+david: how would be justify this to maitenence
+eevee: we are trying to improve the livability of the home
+eevee motions for a $250 budget for window tinting for bright side and dark side living rooms
+VOTE: 8-0-0
+===== Agenda Item 3 =====
+(David) officers not meeting the responsibilities of the office should be forced to abdicate their positions. as well, members of our community should be held accountable for regularly, not meeting thier contractually required labor. this is referring speicifically to doing thier labor late as well as not attenidng thier required two meeting per month.
+David: we have officers that don't know how to do their officer positons. the root of the problem probably has to do with orientation. there are people who are just not here. i am thinking about our culture cordinator. tokyo hasnt fufilled. heart meetings have come up and its that persons job to do it.  we have had offices where 2 people are in charge. i dont want to toss stones at a glass house. the steward is supposed to take over every job if someone isnt doing it. jessi was running like a chicken with her head cut off. people getting labor points for doing nothing. im asking for a meeting for a motion. im asking for a group discussion to be had. its not fair for it all to fall on the steward.
+eevee: what is the motion you want to pass
+david: there is probaly not a motion im making. im asking for a community conversation. its not fair for the rest of us. if you don't know how to, we can figure it out
+bailey: im interested in what anybody else has to say. it feels lecutry and weird
+alice: this just sounds like something that happens at the house constantly. i do think that certain positons do need to be doing their job better. so long as they do the minimum of their job i dont give a shit
+david: i dont think you alice the point im making. i saw eevee one day do so many jobs. 4 people not doing their jobs. this is not how its been in the past
+eevee: i do a lot of extra labor that doesnt get done. the reason is usually occurs is because alcoholism. im close to the people who im doing those things for. i understand i may look exhausted but i wasnt. david you have been here when we had a skilled group of people. im willing to do extra things around the house. we also have to be understanding that out of 16 peple how many are oing to be specifically skilled. we are goign to have to do the best we can. there is only so much fault.
+bailey: its reminding me of convo of wanting to attract people that can fufill the roles. if anyone wants to help me advertise right now.
+dj: have olivia put up flyers at home depot.
+david: 2 meetings per month. olivia for example. i just got out of the role. i havent written anyone up. these things are contractually required
