(Quinn) Discuss Will Widener being on property: Will Widener, a banned person from the property, has been on property this week. We should discuss legal recourse to protect our community. It may be also relevant to note that he has been going through lengths to try to contact me lately despite me being no-contact with him, hence part of my concern.

Quinn: Will was banned and he wasn’t around for a couple months, but he has been invited onto the property. I know we have to let people do what they want in their unit, but considering the circumstances we should see what our options are. He has repeatedly tried to contact me on the phone, and other ways he has changed numbers several times to try to contact me

Bernard: we banned him so why he is still around?

Cayla: we can call the police if we see him. You should record yourself telling him he’s not aloud on the property, this legally counts as telling him he is not allowed here so that he is now trespassing. Quinn can try to get Will not to contact him.

Stormie: I talked to Cory, he advised me to talk to Daniel Miller. I emailed him and he said we can tell someone they are banned, that is within the rights of the coop. I want to have a meeting with Leo and let him know Will is banned and its not okay having him around. If people see him inviting Will in, he can be member reviewed.

Quinn: If Phil sees him does this count as people seeing him on the premises?

Bernard: Phil, are you comfortable with having Will around?

Phil: No, not really,

Stormie: myself and two other officers will host this meeting. Hopefully recorded and Graham doing the minutes. Calling and getting a record of trying to remove him can help

Bernard: Leo is due for a member review anyway because he knows Will was banned

Chinhae: Phil let us know Will was there as soon as he saw Will was there. He was not happy about it, he came out to tell us about it.

Quinn: The problem was we didn’t confront the issue of him going right into a unit.

Stormie: at the time there wasn't any contest over whether or not Phil had any problem with Will being there

Quinn: one of the things on the agenda is a member review of Chris, I remember doing the member review instead of the behavior contract, so then what is our recourse when someone is doing some behavior that we can’t police. In this situation its not an appropriate behavior, we should go to member review.

Leah: bringing someone around who is banned can be considered harassment and bullying which is a violation of the contract

Cayla: we can’t police people bringing someone into the unit

Phil: I see him there late at night, I had some words with him, let him know I wasn't happy about what’s going on

Chinhae: Phil tells me that Leo is cooking Phil's food and giving it to will. This is not cool.

Stormie: we can talk to him and handle it that way, or do a member review, these are the options

Bernard: we need to do this properly, member review is the next step in our system

Quinn: I would like to do a straw pole to see who wants at least a member review - most hands go up

Bernard: we need to post it on the door, and do it right because a straw pole right now doesn’t do much

Leah: Straw pole here is just for gathering information, we should do the talk with Will first

Quinn: Was trying to see if we should do a behavior contract

Leah: I think the question is if we should do a member review

Stormie: reads Daniel Millers email again.

Len: there needs to be a conversation with Leo first

Leah: we should do the meeting so he knows what’s going on with everything

Stormie: we should talk to him so he knows it’s not cool to have him around and do a member review if he brings him around again

(Logan) Member review for Christopher: Back in late April/early May, Christopher had a mediated meeting address his issues with respecting boundaries in regards to other members. These things include: -Making transgender people uncomfortable -Insisting on interacting with people that have expressed discomfort with him and hovering around them. -Touching people inappropriately without consent -making judgmental and unwanted comments towards others about their lives, lifestyles, and bodies. -Guilted Roommates into disposing of their possessions.

Since being confronted about this, this behavior has returned and in some cases gotten worse. There are also past words, jokes and actions that members would like to speak about at the meeting.
