(standing) Officer Reports

Reyna (MemCo): 4 new members, Aaron and Mikayla in 205 and Lottie and Julie in 104. We're still getting 208 ready.

Kate: Corey and I are stalled on 208 due to christmas and being sick. This week's goal is to clean out the trash. This is another hazmat situation, and so no additional help is requested.

Leah: (NP Board Rep): Looked over our tax returns for FY 2025. IRS submission is closed for holidays, but should be able to send after the holiday ends. Finance committee is still working on staying accountable to each other. Also, we're moving out, and I would like to stay on as an associate to train up the new member until June.

Ivy (NP Board Rep): Sat in on a Sasona member review, where a member was harassing other members. He did move out before the review, but a vote was still held to clarify that he was ineligible to hold another contract. Otherwise, been staying current on emails.

Ivy (Steward): No updates; we do not currently have a nomination for labor czar, so I will be doing part of that until someone is elected. I've refreshed the labor sheets and no-show sheets.

Kate (Treasurer): Digitized all past receipts from this year; still working on getting everything correctly categorized in QuickBooks. Starting a different system of digitizing all physical receipts early in the month, so if anyone else remembers, please bother me to do that! We're going to have to file one eviction with court because one person didn't come to the house to get on a payment plan - Amanda “Pickles”.

Serenity (Maintenance): Has stalled because I've been sick. Had a contractor recently come by to start on the rat issue. We're also having one come by for mold in someone's unit, timeline pending.

Bernard: Still some piles of wood to be cleared out.

Lorenzo: If I help out, can I count it as grounds?

Serenity: That makes sense.

Bernard (Kitchen Manager): Thank you to all who are keeping the commons up. As a friendly reminder, please do not eat in the commons, even during friendly get-togethers. Replaced and put up new trap zappers. Also, cooks are more than welcome to cook from your apartment and send out a notice that food is down here and available.

Colby (Events Coordinator): Secret Santa was planned for New Years, but for reasons I hope are obvious, I don't have the spoons for that. Hope everyone had fun at the slumber party. Still plan to have some snacks and such for New Years, but will be making myself scarce. Had fun being y'all's event coordinator.

Richard (Labor Czar): Still trying to get temporary maintenance team members for the project of deep-cleaning units for new move-ins and checking/changing rat traps. Have one person, but need more. Starting the process of getting new move-ins scheduled in the labor system. Didn't sign up for labor czar; hope there will be someone. I can take it if it's the last straw, but it'll come with some caveats - still exiting depression. Better than a month ago.

Jill (Grounds): Not much to report. Doing what I can - also exiting depression. Going to take care of the mowing this week.

Kate on behalf of Gwen (Food Buyer): Got a bunch of toilet paper and paper towels. Is currently out of town. Gave card to Kate whilst out of town.
