+**Archivist:**
+(1) Discussed with Kyle about the project to simplify labor descriptions and create checklists. I will have drafts next week for review. I'd be curious to get some feedback from people about how many bullet point items you think are appropriate for each 1 lump of cleaning position. My first stabs at listing have been 12 - 15 items. Is that still too much detail?
+(2) Checked minutes and found KAF description approval that was conveyed to me verbally was not recorded. Added official approval to agenda for this week's meeting.
+(3) Continued learning about DokuWiki (not a fan, but it's what we have)
+Items for next week:
+(1) Labor descriptions (see above)
+(2) Improve search recognition for website to increase advertising and fill rooms (need to get with Brigid on that).

+kyle: coming into this with the full picture. kaf does not have a description. it is to formalize this. apparently the description is you are the one organizing the drop off of extra food.
+bailey: kaf was a coold thing that happened when cheng was food shopper. he realized we could reap benefits with trader jos. mae who lived here volunteered for it. there has never been a description because it was a labor of love for a while.
+david: its my job to make sure its ready. im not sure where stuff came from. responsibility of the job become more open. sometimes with rotation with who. i get into different positon. would ask
+david: ella must have taken context clues on how its written. i believe thats something placed on by ella. still open for interpretation. this is a job from 8-3:30. ive waited all day and so has eevee. it takes a lot
+bailey: if this becomes a thing where there is no one is avialbel to do. if its too much strain. its something that we could not do. we had people like mae. those people.
+david: i have medical concerns and sometimes i can do it. when we are talking about taking food to another place sometimes i am not able to do it. i cannot be held. i cant promise that i can take these to shelter. i am looking for
+eevee: are we moving it to 2 lumps? i think it makes more sense to have it as 2 lumps. its nice to have but not necessary
+kyle: i would appreicate it have different lumps. if we really miss it we
+eevee: my only fear with that is to get something started again. cheng was our in. he may be able to help us coordinate.
+david: it is appreicated. it does give us food. we should be thankful for us. it affects our food budget.
+brigid: knowing that we did just approve where we did not increase food budget. i think we are relying on kaf. we need more
+eevee: i think we should wait for next budget.
+david: i think we should actually make it a concrete decision. ask for tempurature chair/
+brigid: im happy to take the stuff for right
+jessi: part of mission is to connect with community at large. how will that affect our relationsh

 ====== New business ======
+kyle: discussion of items in the common space
+kyle: this came up in labor descriptions where some labor descripions have "clean up clutter ". its my judgement is its a tricky topic. we all have different standards of what we want for common space. there is not a clear idea of how we will regulate but more of time to discuss. is there anything formal we want to put in writing.
+bailey: what we have done since ive lived here. we will kind of make a pile that says "these things will be here for a week or if you feel it has signicance to space. it will end up in free pile sometimes. maybe we should
+david: this is similar to dishes being left out or socks in landry machine. ive seen  people take things out of free pile and then leave it here. they arent being responibile. what do we do with things. be conscious of our common spaces. something that we can just do. cluttering would be something we should go into.
+eevee: dont have direct solution. having more wording in labor description. what we gain for vainess it covers all the socks, the dishes. it means all of it. we have more direct accountability with specificity but what could cover more is more general phrasing. it will make calls about what is wrong or right
+david: in mc we have something is close. it says to get stuff off space. clear off all surfaces. its the only one that directly has a job description that has to this type of thing. if we can put this into other descriptions
+jessi: we live in a community with 20 other people so stuff will be moved around. people have their own version of what clean is. if you care about it, having it in common space is probably not a good idea. theres a delicate balance of new energies coming into space. there is tornado cleaning and getting everything out. trying to remember how it was coming into a new space. general curiousity about why things are the way they are. why are things the
+brigid: i think a challenge of cleaning a space. the descriptions in bathroom says get rid of stuff. i have felt challenged. what do i do with this stuff. what if we had empty table (its there for a week.
+eevee: thinking about anytime that its written. its always going to be up to the reader. brigid wiped ALL SURFACES in kitchen. i think it would be good for new people performing a job to have a shadow someone. i feel like that may help.
+david: orientation fixes a lot of these things. its expected of officers. steward and culture cordinator has not been done satisifactory. a lot of these things should come from these. house health is important. culture cordinator - health of the people needs to be done. we might want to create a new job. tjh
+kyle: i like the idea of a physical space per room where we could shuffle flow items for that.
+eevee: david can you give me brief description? i like what brigids offering (maybe under a light switch. its going to be there). house health we dont have another pandemic that would be something to have a position. taking a load off of maitenence cordinator to be a whole other thing. 2 very different types of things. one more infrustructure. i dont want to
+jessi: we do have a health officer
+jessi: i want to know what we are going to do about pippin
+eli: olivia has been speaking about rehoming pippin. i have worked with high needs dogs and offered to take pippin. that be what happens with pippin. i can train pippin, settle him down, work on his
+david: i work with pippin. i speak to pippin in my room. pippin is suffering from trauma and abandonment. it is not an easy job. one of those things is acting out. its going to take a specialist and incredible attention.
+jessi: id like to propose a 30 day behavior plan. we can draft something. i am pretty sure david and i arent the only ones affected. theres a reason
+eevee: david and jessi do yall know when pippin and tyson moved in.
+jessi: it was when we moved in
+eevee: my point being that i dont want to do anything that removes pippin from home if possible. if we think hes broken and traumatized now i dont know how that would make it. he deserves the opoortunity
+eli: olivia said she would rather him be with someone in the house
+david: i suggest professional help. this is a land that is not ours. i say that we ask for professional doggy health.
