(standing) Officer Reports

Lottie (Food Buyer): Did not use much of the budget because we got a lot of free groceries, will buy more food next month

Angelia (Events): Saving up events budget for a big Halloween party because I love Halloween, PBE is not doing their event as planned

Serenity (Labor Czar): In order to fix the labor system, I am just going to return to the pre-COVID labor system, which means labor fines are returning

Corey: Labor fines are $15

Bernard: if you cannot do your labor, make sure it is done by someone else or talk to the Labor Czar

Bernard (Kitchen Manager): Thank you to our commons cleaner (Diana) for cleaning the kitchen! Thank you to KAF volunteers for putting our food away! If you use the toilet or shower in the commons, please clean any mess you leave. It is not fair to have the commons cleaner clean up human waste when we are all grown. I changed out all the bug zappers.

Ivy (Steward): David is working on getting Sasona a board rep, because they do not have one. I'm working on a new member orientation in September because we have many people moving in that may not understand the backend and maintaining tasks that go into keeping the co-op afloat. Will report again about it next officer meeting.

Reyna (MemCo): I need to sign more rent increased leases. One room in 202 is available and all of 208 is available. I also need to sign leases for people on payment plans. I will hunt you down this week.

Bernard: if people don't pay their payment plans, do we evict them?

Corey: we issue a new notice to vacate

Toast (Maintenance Coordinator): I'm having a hard time finding someone to fix the dryer

Tiff (Bookkeeper): I was ill, I'm coming back

Corey (Board/Financial Control Officer): I took over for Bookkeeper while Tiff was indisposed. There are a couple tiny debts that need to be handled, but all the large debts are on payment plans/signing them soon.

(Reyna) Daniel Miller reached out about sharing a doc between College Houses, ICC and CHEA about warning about problematic members + referrals for recent graduates who love coop life but aren't eligible for student coops anymore

(Gabe) discuss rescinding notice to vacate Corey: Gabe can't make it to the meeting, but he has paid off half his debt and can pay of the rest today

Many people express that they trust this to be true
