 (standing) Officer Reports
+  * (Ivy) - CHEA Board Rep - NP board rep nominations will go up this week.
+  * (Bernard) - Steward - Will replace bug zapper. Commons look clean. Thank you to whoever washed dishes in the commons. Other than that, please continue to maintain putting everything in containers, because we are not through the rat epidemic yet.
+  * (Kate) - Treasurer - Paid out Kayla's deposit. We are currently spending a lot of the maintenance reimbursements we get from NASCO, so we'll probably need to move some money around to continue paying what we need to. Please pay your rent on time!
+  * (Beryl) - Maintenance - The soffit is being completed; still need to do the fascia and repainting. Should be done with the soffit quite soon. Seeking new plumbers, new appliance guys so we can get stuff up and running again. Losing steam in the maintenance department. Still need to decontaminate unit 104, because it has become a rat paradise. Need to buy new traps. It will be a whole process. Please keep sending emails about holes or new rat activity.
+      * (Diana) - Marina reached out to several of her groups and sent a name for appliance repair.
+  * (Corey) - Nov. 14th, electrical will be on the west side of the building, so all those units will have electrical outage. Don't open refrigerators/freezers in the commons during the outage.
+  * (Angelia) - Steward - Ivy's helping a lot.
+  * (Colby) - Events - Thanks for coming out on Halloween! Everyone had a great time. For Turkey Day, Bernard is planning to cook, and Colby will too. Secret Santa is also coming up. The limit is $40 - spend what you can. Participation in secret santa is optional. Sag/Scorpio bday party is coming up - maybe sleepover vibes? Something low-key and indoors if possible.
+  * (Richard) - Labor - Testing an old practice for automatic no-show if there's no sign-off. Would like to get dinner labor repopulated if we can find people to do it.
+  * (Reyna) - Membership Coorindator - There will be new members soon, once we get Dwaine's unit sorted and Bernard moved upstairs. We need to figure out what to do with Graham's spot - if he doesn't pay rent for November, it will be an abandonment case. More to report at next meeting.
+      * (Corey) - Still a lot of stuff in Paul's unit, including a lot of furniture, so if you would like to look, reach out to Corey to schedule a time.
 ===== Agenda Item 2 =====

       * (Chinhae) - Only one instance of using the shop vac, and Chinhae does not have a key to the maintenance closet.
-Conversation:
+**Conversation:**
   * (Bernard) - Why didn't you ask for help?
@@ Line 82: / Line 92: @@
   * (Corey) - There's lots of different kinds of leaks. Some can skate by without being discovered for a while. All I did was walk into the kitchen and I could smell the wet smell, and I saw a stream, not a drip, coming out in the kitchen. It was clearly not okay, and it went on for a week. I strongly believe you should not do plumbing work here.
-Deliberation:
+**Deliberation:**
   * (Frog) - I don't know if I trust that Chinhae and Phoenix would adhere to a behavior contract. An example would be: Don't do maintenance/plumbing work in your apt, tell maintenance if there's an issue, don't use maintenance supplies without maintenance team's knowledge.
@@ Line 113: / Line 123: @@
   * (Corey) - Regardless, I genuinely feel like we need to inspect that unit to see if anything else has been done in it. The leak was very obvious and clear, and I don't trust the judgment of someone who fucks up that badly to check their work, and I don't know what they've done. I think we need to look into that, and we've lost the benefit of the doubt.
-Straw Poll:

 Results: termination of membership wins the straw poll.
+**Voting on terminating membership:**
+Yes, 2 No, 2 Abstain
+The vote to terminate membership passes.
+**Timeline:**
+  * (Kate) - 30 days is what we do normally; does anyone have opinions?
+  * (Bernard) - No opinions.
+  * (No other discussion)
+Chinhae was notified that membership would be terminated in 30 days.
 ====== New business ======
+  * (Bernard) - Move to ban Brad from the property on grounds of touching people without consent and sexual harassment.
+      * (Reyna) - Second the motion.
+      * Item will be posted on next week's agenda.
+  * (Yarrow) - White bike near Paul's crash site will be installed probably next Sunday. Will update when the date/time is set.
+  * (Richard) - A year ago, after a job shuffle, I ended up with a large sum of money. I don't really know what to do with it, and I'm not a stock person, so I want to donate it to the co-op. Want the house to decide what to do with it. It's about $30,000. Some ideas: steer it toward something we don't normally get funds for.
+      * (Frog) - Idea is for people to bring project ideas, vote to accept or reject the money, etc.
