Common House Cleaning Roster
by Sandy Ross 17 Apr '21

17 Apr '21

Hi all. As mentioned in the last meeting there is need for common house cleaning to occur so as not to undo the good of Chemdry’s efforts on the carpet. For starters we should see if vacuuming the floors of the common area 2 times weekly is enough.This would take about half an hour. There are also 2 toilet areas but I do not know if these are used currently but will be in future. I am looking for 7 other people so that your cleaning efforts would only be needed about once a month. Look forward to hearing from any volunteers so that I can draw up a roster. Regards Sandy

Agenda Item: Work Groups
by Gay Buckingham 15 Apr '21

15 Apr '21

It’s great to see the enthusiasm exhibited by people – and even better seeing the amazing amount of work already done: beautiful lawn, bricks moved, establishing of compost and rubbish collection systems, common house and common room organisation. Today I see the workshop group are getting underway, Cohousing at its best! In our membership agreement, it is agreed that there would be over-arching committees/groups responsible for activities. They were: Shared Meals; Landscape & Gardening; Commonhouse & Social; Finance & Administration. Under each of these major headings I understood there would be subgroups, and if the larger group was having a meeting, all subgroups under their umbrella would be alerted to the date/time and agenda in case they wanted input into something potentially affecting their area of interest, to get permission to do something, or to apply for money to do something . . . I am particularly conscious of this in regard to The Landscape & Gardening Group and the Commonhouse & Social Group. Currently there is potential for decisions to be made on an ad hoc basis by any interest group who is working on a particular project. We need an over-arching committee to ensure all decisions fit within the overall agreed intentions. Could we discuss the formation of these groups, the subgroups under each one, and the composition of each please? I see we are supposed to use the cards for committee meetings, do we need to discuss that as well? Gay Gay Buckingham +64 27 4544012

Workshop
by Tim Ross 15 Apr '21

15 Apr '21

Hi All, Many of you would have noticed that the workshop is getting rather cluttered as we all move in. It would be good to organise a tidy up of the space followed by a discussion of how those who are interested in using the space would like to manage it going forward. I would suggest meeting in the workshop at say 2pm Saturday to do so. If people can’t make it then happy to move to a time that would suit the majority of people. Cheers, Tim. -- *Tim Ross* Director BArch, ANZIA Registered Architect Certified Passivhaus Designer Architype Ltd.
