12/7/08 Minutes
ABSENT: Emily, Elissa, Ari, Briana
(1) Don't lock the top lock on the main door! A guest may have done this once, and someone was locked out.
(2) Josh wants to know if anyone knows where we can buy shovel.s Sasha suggested that we have one shovel already. We're going to look at Value Depot.
(3) Food issues: Jaclyn and Irina have both opted out of the group food. Jaclyn doesn't want to do the communal food chores, either. One proposal is that Jaclyn would never be on food, and Joanna would always be on food.
Also, Jaclyn now has a ton of food in the personal fridge. A proposal is that Jaclyn and Irina would have their own spots in the personal fridge.
A reminder: if it isn't yours and it's in the personal fridge, don't touch it! Don't move it to the other fridge! This is true even if it isn't labeled.
Jaclyn says that she is leaving the communal food for two reasons: (1) she is unhappy with the "politics" surrounding the shopping and cooking, and (2) her food preferences do not match up well with the food preferences of the collective, and so she think she'll eat better this way.
It was decided that Jaclyn's food group should sit down and have a conversation about the aforementioned food politics.
(4) Food issue: Sasha is going to be out of town for two weeks, and she doesn't want to pay for the food for those two weeks. Most people seem to think that this is reasonable. Josh is also going to be gone for about two weeks, and he wants the same deal. Same thing for Vivi. For the days that they will be gone, see the Google Calendar.
(5) Jaclyn gave me $20. Joanna gave me $50 (though she spent 10 already). Erica gave me $80. Irina gave me nothing. I gave $75. Josh gave me $75. Sasha will give $35. Vivi hasn't paid yet, and I think Emily and Elissa haven't either.
What can Sam do to make things easier? Maybe bring the cash to the first programming of the month. Maybe send an e-mail around the 1st of the month reminding people that money is due. Or maybe send such an e-mail a week in advance. Sam should make a check-off sheet so you check your name off when you give Sam money. The sheet could go on the fridge.
(6) Proposal: Maybe there should be one full week where we don't do new shopping w/community money. The week in question is Dec. 21-27. Four people will be gone for most of the week. December is our "leap month," which has five weeks. So either we're not going to have enough food each week, or we're going to have plenty of food for most of the weeks and we'll starve at the end of the month.
Vivi suggests that we should spend thriftily, and if we run out of money at the end of the month then so be it, and we can buy food with community money if necessary. We'll try to spend ~$160/week, and see how it goes.
