3/28/22 Minutes: Proposed “Fairness Ordinance” event, Reimbursements

In attendance: Jackson (secretary), Marc, Naomi, Ty, Wyatt
Start time: 7:15 PM

  1. Upcoming Event – Garden Day is this Saturday. Wyatt says that we don’t have yard gloves that he’s comfortable giving to new people. We’re good with him buying some this week, and getting reimbursed for them at next week’s meeting.
  2. Library Donation – Naomi brought several books for our lending library. We like them. Thanks, Naomi!
  3. BML Video – Ty has been unable to download the video because his computer is junk. Marc will try it next, on his less-junky computer.
  4. Gardening Email – Ty got a couple of emails from a neighbor interested in getting some help gardening. Ty will invite her to this Saturday’s garden day or we can possibly accommodate her at a future Monday meeting.
  5. Library Open House – Marc and Ty’s draft in the group chat looks good, and it will be posted online very soon.
  6. Yard Sale – Ty had to fix a glitch or mistake in our yard sale event, but it may have deleted some invitations. Thanks, Facebook. We’ll have to redo that.
  7. Dropbox reimbursement – Ty’s premium Dropbox account is coming up for renewal for another month. We think we’ll need it for another, and we’ll reimburse him for that.
  8. “Wilderness Crossing” Bullshit – Wyatt reports that there is a proposed 500-unit housing development being considered adjacent to Wildnerness Park. There is community resistance to the project, because it endangers both wildlife in the Wilderness Park area as well as two Native sweat lodges. Complaints to the zoning department are strongly encouraged before the deadline tomorrow morning and the official government hearing on the development on Wednesday.
  9. Fairness Ordinance Discussion – We have an offer from our friend Aryn to give us an inforational presentation about the issues surrounding the controversies around the return of the “Fairness Ordinance.” We are interested in hosting such an event as soon as Aryn is ready to do it, since it may possibly come up to a vote as early as this spring. We are interested in doing this as an online event, and would prefer to record it if Aryn is comfortable with that. It would mean getting onto YouTube after the live event, and giving more people a chance to get that information.
  10. Library Organization – Naomi has done a lot of work, but is moving out of state, and we will miss her terribly! She has a bit of a backlog of individual books to be manually inserted, but may still be able to work through those remotely for us. We have the login info for LibraryThing, so we will carry on with that. We also spent a bit of time when we had the whole group together to decide on a little bit of physical reorganization.

Meeting adjourned: 8:50 PM
