VII. Executive Board Reports

A. Chair:

B. Vice Chair:

C. Secretary:

D. Treasurer: We have $658.02 left in program account, we have $100 in unallocated if you wanted to put that back into programs. BBQ was a success, we used up all our food, we spent $141 for next program Thursday was a good day, we might want to have more food next time.

E. RHA Rep: Klamath room for haunted JGC, I’ve been asking people if anyone has ideas. Logan said Klamath might already be taken.

The BBQ was kind of a success, but a lot of people complained because the food ran out.

There’s also a chalk issue on the Fern Hall stairs, apparently someone decided to hopscotch up and down them and the chalk is getting into peoples’ apartments.
B.J. said residents need a permit to chalk. Jen said the renegade chalkers didn’t get said permit.

VIII. Representative Reports

A. Fern: Sarah called Rendezvous and they’re looking into possible air hockey and switching out games in the next week (Jen said they came in today).

B. Willow: Vending machines need to be re-stocked and filled with new items. People are also demanding new tips for the pool cues and new balls and paddles for ping pong. And some are wondering why people are watching the same thing on both TVs.

C. Laurel: Due a few careless people who mistake a bench for a trash can half way up Mount Creekview, residents in Laurel are asking for garbage can half way up the hill. Ethan says we have to talk to Sue about it.

D. Juniper: I didn’t hear what Joshua said so I’m assumming that everything’s okay, if not please let me know.

E. ROCC Rep: ROCC Bloc-ed on Friday night at 7 p.m. Next event is Expressions of Oppression Nov. 1 in the Klamath River Room, if anyone wants to present a poem or something Jen says to get a hold of ROCC. Organic t-shirts will also be available at Expressions of Oppression.

F. RPB Rep: Approved $1000 for ROBOT for video games.

G. ROBOT Rep: (see above) Budget is approved and ROBOT’s video game competition will likely be held on October 28 at the bottom floor of the J.

H. RLC/AC:

IX Old Business:

A. CV BBQ: Perry in Fern was deeply disappointed with our little BBQ on Thursday and didn’t hesitate in telling CV Council so. Our good RHA Rep set him straight and explained to him that we did our best in providing food and encouraged him to come to Council. Perry then apologized for his somewhat crude way of voicing his disappointment.

Everyone at Council agreed that we should have planned better. It was a learning event and next time we’ll order more food. Also, Council members need to make sure they can show up at said events and be productive in some way.

B. Grounds Fines: The $28.75 cigarette-butt fine is paid, Ethan said. It was Richard Carlson not Sue who charged us. Carrie and Erin from Juniper went around gathering loose change. Ethan also went around Fern with a can for $$. One non-smoker resident even contributed $7.

C. Haunted JGC: Ethan will be e-mailing victims this week. Logan said because Halloween falls on a Tuesday Haunted JGC will be our meeting. Happy Halloween!!

D. Recyclables: Have papers to give to LGAs/council members to explain what is recyclable.

E. Ping Pong:

X. New Business:

A. CV bail-out fund: Because the escapade with the cigarette butts taught us all a lesson, Ethan set up a Creekview bail-out fund should we find ourselves in a situation similar to last week. There is still a bunch of change left in the can and if no one drops their butts on the ground, or, say takes an axe to the gazebo by the end of the year, we can use the money for a program. But keep in mind that although we have money in the can, if someone does take an axe to the gazebo it’s likely CV residents will all get charged because we don’t have enough money in the can to buy a new gazebo

B. Rendezvous/ Pool Tables/ Video Games: in the works.

XI. Announcements:

Fri. Oct. 6: The Moon Festival will be held in the Kate Buchanan Room at 7:30 p.m.

Joshua Nelson made LGA of the Month, way to go!

Tammy went to a budget meeting. We’re in the middle of a budget crisis, people are getting laid off, classes are getting bigger and people are wondering what they can do to voice their opinion. She passed around an e-mail list and I pimped the Lumberjack. If anyone wants to voice their opinions, that’s what the Lumberjack is for.

XII. General Council Discussion: Jen’s going to check out the chalk at Fern. Cari moves to adjourn.

VIII. Adjournment: 7:50 p.m. or so
