-===== Agenda Item 4 ===== +
- +
-(Paul) Discussion Item only: Add the concept of a “Limited Member Review”. This is a membership review in all ways except that the straw poll only includes options for “no action” and “behavioral contract.” This option should be considered when members feel someone’s actions require house discussion but do not seek immediate eviction. Some house processes could also operate this way: e.g. if every member’s first automatic membership review for labor violations was a Limited Member Review, or perhaps if every automatic membership review was. +
- +
-Potential corollary: Increase the threshold required for a house to decide a behavioral contract has been violated to 2/3rds, or 3/4ths, so that a Limited Member Review does not turn into a delayed eviction vote with a lower threshold. +
- +
-Taking suggestions on the name and everything else. +
- +
-Leah proposed raising the minimum vote req. for deciding if a limited member review needs to be 3/4th. +
- +
-storemie: add concrete deadline of no less than 7 days for signing behavior contract; possible integration of docusign for signing behavior contracts in conjunction with posting +
- +
-Corey: revisiting behavior contracts: behavior contracts are still for evictable offenses, so they need to be handled as such- +

-(Logan) I got an email in the MemCo email from the office of Congressman Lloyd Doggett who wanted to see if anyone here is interested in being a part of a zoom call about the affordability crisis in Austin and how La Re can play a role in combatting it as well as hear concerns from the community. He wants to know when a good time for us would be. +
