Officer Check-ins
Archivist: Ella
(1) What I need from you please
(2) What I've done this week for my officer labor lump
(3) A copy of the archivist job description (Just FYI)
(4) Helpful link for you to access the wiki
(1) What I need from you please
–> Please send a link to the current minutes documents. We are soooooo far behind on documentation!
→ All officers MUST submit a weekly officer check in for documentation. This can be done via email (business@sasona.org) OR by presenting at the house meeting to have the report recorded by minutes taker.–> Officers not submitting weekly reports are in violation of duties and subject to officer review
(2) What I've done this week:
–> Asked Olivia for access to archivist email and to be added to the wiki (no response)
–> Asked David M for access to archivist email and the wiki. He said he has added me, but I don't have the password. Still working on archivist email because there is a recovery phone number ending in 91 that I'm not sure who it is. Maybe Sydney? I will contact Corey as administrator and see if he can bypass that
–> Found the public Sasona wiki and read over job description
–> Generally assessed the state of the wiki and make a plan for streamlining content and updating material once I do have access
(3) What does the archivist actually d?
Here is the description from the wiki:
Update Wiki weekly in accordance with motions passed at the previous house meeting Correct or Remove outdated/irrelevant information in the wiki Organize materials within wiki so that relevant information can easily be found In the absence of a motion to correct a wiki section bring concrete proposals to the house for a vote before severely altering the wiki Bring inconsistencies to the house for clarification as needed Present weekly changes to the wiki in officer report to be ratified by the membership If Archivist will not be present at house meeting, changes must be emailed or posted to the house by the house meeting agenda-item-inclusion deadline so that the meeting chair can present them during officer reports Changes will be considered ratified when changes are presented and no objections are voiced (no house vote required) Correct previous changes as dictated by the membership when objections are present, not frivolous, and do not oppose a house motion that the change was intended to address Be a house authority on internal house rules and regulations answering questions from the membership as they arise Be made aware by Mastodon Overblower how to recover systems and passwords. Make a report at every business meeting. Reporting can be done in-person OR by email to “ business@sasona.org ”. (Emails will be read aloud by MinutesTaker at the meeting.) Reports have a 2-minute time limit, and saying “nothing to report” is totally acceptable. [passed 2020-12-6]
(4) Would you like to know more about the inner workings of Sasona? Here is a link to the public wiki (seems to be incomplete from previous internal wiki…. I will work on updating that once I get appropriate access)
That's it for this week. Just getting myself set up. I also “archived” a lot of bananas from KAF, though I'm not sure that counts within the scope of this position.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything else I can do to be of assistance. I look forward to documenting continued progress at Sasona!

CHEA Rep 1:
CHEA Rep 2:
Culture Coordinator:
Food Planner: Alex: not much to report. let me know if you have complaints or suggestions or if you would like to add a staple to the food shopper list. there has been at least one instance where someone took guff items as their own (greek yogurt). i woud encourage you to treat guff items as shared items.
Grounds Coordinator: eevee: we did some harvesting. we need to figure out what were doing for labor holiday. i need to tackle the weeding in the garden.
Kitchen Kaiser: Justin
The kitchen remodel contractor came out this week. We're hoping they start in the next month or so. We need to remove the countertop to replace the kitchen floor. So as a house we need to decide on what will be put back in it's place. To my knowledge, the options are:
- keeping the current cabinets to one degree or another. This has my personal vote.
- replacing them as Ruth suggested with metal drawers and counter, similar to the rest of the kitchen, but with drawers.
- custom cabinets, though this is prohibitively expensive according to David M. Something on the order of several thousand dollars if I'm not mistaken.
Please discuss and decide at tonight's house meeting. We can also do a dedicated house meeting for the kitchen floor replacement sometime this week or next.
Labor Czar:
Maintenance Coordinator: bridgid: i hope you can get elected i am really trying. eevee helped me a lot this week thank you. we had the people come to look at our fire extinguishers. they need to come back to test fire alarm system. they told eevee monday - we will see because they have not responded. they are going to have to go in every room. i dont know what we will do for people with pets.
corey: in situations like this we put a note on every door.
brigid: i dont know if it will be happening but that is a good day. i can email it out as well. i just dont know for sure. im not sure if they will set alarm off in every room or everything. the insurance inspectors for Nasco came and they said we need to get fire people to come and the kitchen hood needs to be checked
