(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.
