Property Management
Amar will take on communication responsibilities until his term is up in October
Property management company has changed
Jeremiah is taking care of repairing windows
It would be nice to have the latches repaired on the doors, but may not be good reason to
Bike Parking
How can we get sidewalk bike racks from SFBC?
Need to find out if the sidewalks are public space or belong to Mosaica
Need to follow up with property management
Angel will see if her roommate can find out about the sidewalk ownership
Lawyer
Ilana heard back from our incorporation lawyer who declined to help us
Ilana is following up with Rez's godson who supposedly is interested
Youth
Youth issues have primarily been resolved
Youth program has been cancelled
Colin is gone, Francisco has written his essay
Staff meetings have resolved the meeting the Board was considering but did not decide on
e.g. youth can't be staff
Box Dog Donations
Donations have been coming to WTF via Rene
They usually ask first what we want
JP is good knowing that someone is on top of it
Jordan Succession Planning
Jordan - I feel like if being on the board was a job I would have been fired from the job
I'm out of gas for the BK - I've been involved for a long time
I'm willing to play out my commitment but I'm not contributing much - I feel kinda bad
Ilana - I feel like the primary role of the board is to make sure we stay close to our mission, the DIY element, that we don't need to do much aside from that
It would be a shame to miss your commitment to that, I would be sad to not have you here
Ilana/Angel - I think the collective should elect a new member
Ilana - I'd prefer to have Jordan's role be dormant and just reelect next fall
Ilana - If Alon is going to be less available maybe we should have an interim election to ensure we have engaged board members
Decision to not hold a reelection Jordan is likely to not play an active role in the coming months Next election will have positions for reelection and replacement - Amar, Alon, Angel, Jordan
Budget for Shop Beautification
Decision to pay for what is needed for shop projects
We trust staff to be responsible
No specific budget set
Succession Planning and Coordinator Roles
Alon - I feel it is an important role of the board to make sure that people are moving in to accountable roles and that we have a sense for who will step up in the future
Ilana - I think more smaller accountable roles rather than a lot of responsibility - e.g. shift scheduler, party planner
Jordan - When I was Ops Coordinator I was really just the Key Master
JP - As Education Coordinator its nice to have a single point of contact
Ilana - what if the board identifies the different roles and ask people to take on specific jobs
Proposal to bring this up at next staff meeting - lets enumerate the jobs that make the BK run
Approved
