Grounds Coordinator:
Kitchen Kaiser:
There's been some confusion over dinner buddy, I'm just wondering if something needed clarified.
Labor Czar:
Hello Sasonies,
Many shout outs of appreciation this week:
- Ryland and David for agreeing to temporarily fill in for Treasurer and Meeting Chair, respectively, while those positions are open for nomination. - Justin for continuing to cover Bookkeeper in absence of nominees/electees - Kyle and Alex for agreeing to take on 2 lump solo cook shifts so we could continue to have daily meal service. - Savannah for joining the house labor schedule!
Some places we need help:
- Steward, treasurer, meeting chair, grounds coordinator, and bookkeeper are all currently open positions in need of being filled!
- Dinner buddy duty clarification - there seem to have been lots of issues with this recently, especially with the ongoing kitchen renovation. Perhaps re-evaluating how this position is structured would be a good topic for future conversation.
Labor accountability report for September is attached. Summary of relevant points:
Name No Shows 60 Days Nudges Last 60 Days No Shows Last Month Alex 0 0 0 Bailey Star 0 1 0 CJ 3 0 2 Eevee 0 1 0 Jessi 3 0 1 Justin 2 1 1 Kyle 0 1 0 Olivia 3 1 0 Ryland 8 2 2 Shane 8 7 2 Tokyo 8 1 5 Will 0 1 0
Olivia, Ryland, and Shane - please get in contact with Kyle or Ella to arrange for your make up lumps or those will be converted to fines. No previously assessed fines Olivia, CJ, or Tokyo have been paid.
Question: What do we do about Tokyo's labor? Assess fines retroactively? Just let it go? I think the question of “What to do when members leave with undone labor” needs to be addressed in a future meeting and a formal process created.
Updated labor schedule for the week is attached. Please check your schedule. Thank you for contributing to the upkeep of our community.

It's been asked about attendance. We need to be attending 2 meetings per month, as a usual requirement. The last 2 chairs we've had have went to alternate plans on how to run the meetings. I have hard copies of mine, but no records of Eevee's time or Vic's time. Clean slate time. We are also missing some minutes completely and attendance, as well.
