Minutes

• Told the story of why PCB Rob is called PCB Rob
• Briefly onboarded new czars
• Went over Area Budget report, noticed that woodworking has been missing for months
• Discussed what relationships are appropriate for board members – spouses? Family members? employee/employer relationships?
• Talked about conflict of interest policy that we already have and discussed expanding it
• Decided that we don’t want to be taken over by a mob family
• Issac gave his ideas for administration changes to spread the workload
  • Basic idea – have czars be the actual board plus president and secretary, and have the administration be another group of people that do volunteer work that are appointed by the board
• Issac proposed idea for project management in order to keep things moving
• Laurie is addicted to 3 ring binders
• Went into more discussion about administration changes
• Discussed need for conflict resolution policy – possibly a ombudsman (referee) to assist
• Decided to use Issac’s form for project management, now need large stamps that say “Fuck Yeah” and “Hell No”
• Doug will write up a draft for Board Eligibility Policy, Tracy will write up a draft for Conflict Resolution Policy, and we will mull over and revisit administrative restructuring at the next board meeting
• Next board meeting scheduled for December 13th.
