Lawrence Committee Meeting, 3/12/06 @ 8.30pm-9.35pm

We had two residents with us, Katie and Tamas who would like to join the committee. Tara was with us as well.

We discussed ....

- the garden: It needs new hoses and new tools. We decided to charge each person who wants a garden plot $10. The money will be used exclusively to buy stuff for the garden.

- the budget: Currently we have $700 in our account. We would like to plan two more events, but we have to keep in mind that each month the amount of $15 is deducted from our account for the cable TV.

- We decided against installing cable TV in the High Rise building for various reasons (installment would not be easy if at all possible and it would weigh on our b! udget). People could watch DVDs in the High Rise. Instead, we put up a sign-up sheet so people can plan on using the TV room

- To make our president's life easier, Jonathan will add an "unsubscribe" feature to the lawrapts list, so leaving the list will be easy.

- the draw. Perks will be given to Jennifer, Katie, Patrick and Julia.

- Receipts regarding reimbursements can be sent via campus mail to Tara Kitley @ Clio Hall.

- an event. A wine & cheese event is going to take place 4/20 in Bldg 14 Community Room at 7pm.

- Furniture for the High Rise Community Room has been ordered. It is expected to come in about 3 weeks.

- Battery recycling boxes are planned for Lawrence somewhere somewhat soon, maybe in the Laundry Rooms.

- Bike racks should be removed not only in front of the bedroom windows, but also in front of living room windows. This is an issue regarding New Lawrence and has to be addressed to Housing.

- Construction site close to New Lawrence: Early morning constru ction noise - Housing has been trying to put off construction noise until the 20th (?), after that, noisy hammering construction should only start after 9am.

- Elections. In future years, elections should take place in the fall.

- Buzzer system in Low Rise Old Lawrence has not been fixed for a long time. It is going to be a major maintenance request in the next year. In the meantime, at least the names of the residents should be updated.

If you have anything to add to the minutes, I would appreciate it. There were so many things we discussed, I have the impression that I forgot some details.
