Minutes approved.

Washer closer to the door has a broken hook in the door, and we’re trying to figure out how to replace the part.

(Steward) Discuss accessibility concerns surrounding House policy and communication of House processes.

Point of information: I know this had to do with outdated wording in our rules.

Point of information: Our website isn’t exactly user-friendly.

Beryl: I’ve noticed that there’s gaps in how we educate new members.

Leah, board member: There’s been discussion at the board and NASCO level about this. We’ve talked about dedicated labor devoted to onboarding and working on accessibility/accommodations process.

Point of information: I’ve worked on an onboarding slide deck that I’m happy to share with people.

POI: The wiki is not up to date, and hard to read.

Frog: I have ideas for making the website more readable.

Maintenance: Fixing the stairs will cost multiple thousands of dollars, and NASCO says plumbing should be prioritized over the stairs, and that there are alternate staircases.

Beryl: The food situation in the commons is so bad.

—

Paul: No-shows haven’t gone out in a long time. There isn’t a sheet. I can’t no-show the people not cleaning the fridge and pantry.

POI: We can print one out, get it done.

POI: No-shows go out weekly in the labor reports.

POI: There’s other issues in the labor system. We can talk about it more during officer meetings next week.

—

Beryl: We should have more email and written communications of things that affect the whole co-op. The laundry room project took too long, and there wasn’t good notice around it.

POI: Maintenance coordinator is supposed to make a weekly report. I think it’s partially about labor reports.

—

Clarifying question: How much money do we make on the washer/dryer? Is it worth leaving it accessible? Can we lock it some of the time?

POI: We used to make a few thousand a year on it. I think it should be kept open as a service to the community as well.

POI: We could make a bilingual sign about not trying to open the washer during operation.

CQ: Can we do something about the truck parking in the handicapped spot?

Beryl, steward: I can talk to him.

POI: There’s a gray SUV too.

CQ: Do we want to go back to parking tags?

POI: That should be an agenda item.
