Sidney Pacific Graduate Community February House Meeting Tuesday, February 6th, 2007
Agenda • Trustee Confirmations (Vote) • Budget (Vote) • Service Awards • Winter Officers’ Retreat • Recruitment Timeline • Open floor
Trustee Confirmation: Amy Shi • Statement • Questions • Vote
The Problem • How many people think the kitchens have surround sound? • How many people have used surround sound in the kitchens? • Most people just want to watch TV or play DVDs in the kitchens • The current equipment is out of date and hard to use
The Solution • Simplify the A/V Systems • Removing unnecessary components from the kitchen systems will makes the systems simpler to use and more reliable • This has been proved with the TV's in the 4th and 6th floor lounges • Residents can still attach their own components • Removing components will also reduce the temptation for residents to “self diagnose” problems
Service Awards • Joseph Thomer • Chia-Hung Wu • Mihir Mehta • Michelle Sander • Mark Baldesara
Commendation • Karthik Balakrishnan
Winter Officers’ Retreat • Sign up for a ride on the Officer’s Wiki • Officer responsibilities on the wiki • Ask not what S-P can do for you …
