AGENDA
Ryland payment plan 330 on 6 : 7/0/0 CJ payment plan 500 17 remainder on 28: 7/0/0 Shane 900 on 9.15 on 1,116 on 10.1 and 900 on 10.15: 7/0/0 damage to David Q scooter DAVID: went to use scooter, plates came off. someone had knocked over his scooter, then put it back up and just put the plates back on. this was unknown to him until they started to come off off while he was riding. the damage was severe , and he found it disturbing someone tried to hide the damage caused. knows it must have been someone here, because of the effort needed to go through hiding it. is upset because he could have gotten injured or died, and had offered to loan the scooter to Ryland, meaning that Ryland could have been severely injured because of this. under eviction, 4.9.2.2 [quote] thinking about going through getting cameras to find who did this, but is putting out the word by having this recorded in minutes. there’s a bad seed out there. not sure we’ll be able to find who this is, but need to try. EVEE: it felt like an unsafe space for the scooter, having tried to avoid hitting it before. wished she had gotten to say something before it happen. notes the people coming and parking there most often are the kitchen maintenance people KYLE:where is it parked? EVEE: behind tree that faces fence EVEE: thinks it might have been kitchen maintenance people BRIGID: sorry that happened, has heard longwithstanding stories about small things being stolen. feels uncomfortable with the idea of cameras in the home space. [Brigid asked one by one if people knew about it. No one had heard of it] JUSTIN: people tend not to own up to strange things happening. one thing that would help a lot is vulnerability, knowing that people will not be truly angry with an intentional honesty. has a book he can think of to go over in a heart meeting to cover it. EVEE: thinks we’re talking about two topics, thinks we should steer back to scooter BRIGID: feels like it was all a direct response to David’s pleads to figure out what happened RYLAND: suggested trail cameras to David DAVID: to Evee, understands what they said, that he shouldn’t have parked there, but it would have happened to anyone’s vehicle parked there. doesn’t think anyone here would not feel weird if their car was hit then just hidden. it had been fine a long time, accepts that maybe he should have parked elsewhere, but that isn’t the whole issue. not suggesting a witch hunt, but what else is there? BRIGID: feels there’s no proof to provide, and like David just wanted to bring awareness, and believed it’s been settled as much as it can be EVEE: believes David gave an inappropriate assessment, and wants to rephrase. trying to deduce to observable facts, is not trying to start a witchhunt DAVID: said don’t take it personally OLIVIA: what broke, and where it was parked? [will be shown to her after the meeting] DAVID: thanks everyone, and still is open to suggestions OLIVIA: notes this is isn’t the first time, reports multiple incidents. wants to look into alternates RYLAND: suggests something to make the parking spots more high vis, like tape or reflectors
JESSI: thought point of membership was to make behavioral contract. knows she’s a limiting factor with schedule, but wants to make this a more open discussion. opens floor to Olivia about the behavior contract
OLIVIA: believes its currently a zero toleration policy she would immediately
[insert note from Brigid that was added to the agenda]
JESSI: who decided behavior contract wasn’t written?
EVEE: was at meeting. believed it was voted on
[correction, nothing at this meeting was voted on due to too few people]
JESSI: this is just a jumping off point. so, what do we feel like we can really commit to?
JUSTIN: theres two options that seem like work. Brigid’s mentioned trainers, unsure how much that’s been explored
DAVID: sent links of trusted trainers, 3 or 4, to Justin, to send them to Olivia
JUSTIN: does Olivia think it would help?
OLIVIA: doesn’t know where she’d make the space for that. beyond money, she’s very mired in her days off. training requires a commitment that she can’t emotionally give. feels she can’t deal with it quietly, as it’s just hanging over her head. it all feels very intimidating. not opposed, but it is scary
JUSTIN: the money thing, sounds like some people do a session or two free. seems plausible to take a step or two down that path with little cost
JESSI: whats the concern of the house vs the concern of the owner? we’re looking for peace and quiet. that is achieved by the owner. knows there are volunteers ready to help too
DAVID: referring to links to Justin. links sent all had free evaluation included on purpose to help Olivia
EVEE: legal equivalent to this is eviction hold off. wants a more informal and less threatening agreement to make this less weighty. maybe reduce severity of action, though it is no less severe. no one should be ill affected, but reducing the severity would make this easier
OLIVIA: money not issue. anxiety is the issue. feels like she’s been in a constant state of reliving Tyson’s membership review, and finds it hard to keep up with the demand to enthusiastically come to these meetings when it’s so hard
BRIGID: wants to propose roles working so the people that care can get together. Olivia needs support, and so do Jessi and David. it’s more complex than ‘fix it and out’, but also not a ‘well we can’t do anything about it’
EVEE: again, the common in these meetings is the stress level. if we can reduce the stress from a personal conflict to a process conflict, to a taking it down to a more calm, regular issue.thinks if we can address this a more friendly way, more progress can be made
OLIVIA: wants to repeat and recommit to posting her schedule, having whiteboard available, making better use of hours she does have with him.
JESSI: it is a hard thing to do. we’re all just trying to figure out how to work this out, for Pippin too. we just need a plan, an agreement, in order to document the line the sand. or even just a gradient. is the pressure is too much, instead work to incremental goals
EVEE: not trying to halt progress. the terms of having measurable peace is impossible. it feels like we would need to be very, very thorough with this, and if we weren’t, it wouldn’t be successful. Pippin is gonna feel different on different days, one day can ruin the entire progress. it doesn’t feel like the most helpful tool. will personally talk with Olivia to see what more can be down.
extend for 5 min? 5/3/1 it passes
DAVID: Olivia and David have talked more than ever. thinks whatever Olivia is going through, it’s easier to…rather than come at it hard. there is times that if theres not alarmist position, its [STATEMENT IS NOT MAKING SENSE, WROTE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE]
JUSTIN: knows theres active behavior contract, outside that wants to just help Pippin get what he needs. wants to work on something outside that to avoid eating up too much house bandwidth.
EVEE: it would have to be all people Olivia trusts and chooses
KYLE: there was a very nice long day where Pippin was in DSLR. feels curiosity about Pippin being in shared spaces more often, as it seems like one way to make less stress for everyone
EVEE: elaborate on last co-op dog Kyle knew
KYLE: there was shared stewardship over a dog at a co-op he lived in before Sasona., everyone helped take care of him.
ALEX: do some research for similar incidents to see if there’s been any kind of help down
JESSI: sounds like a tandem system reducing system, plus adding grace knowing he can have very good day
JUSTIN: does Olivia thinking working group will help?
OLIVIA: yes
JESSI: is working group for behavioral contract?
JUSTIN: not what she was thinking, more just about helping Pippin
