jenny: switched mortgage payments to the 8th of every month to give us an end-of-month buffer. december's payment didn't go through as i'd just transferred the rest of our savings on the 1st, and unify didn't let us know until i noticed and sent a bunch of messages. we are back on track as of today.
been working with needa from The Village. Made two mailing lists for them. Google Drive folder for tracking all related documents is here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1myWHiRLFxV5Do2TX8kNd-UinwnT0vrxc

first time was the event that got booked over lori's memorial on 9/30: https://omnicommons.org/calendar/wordpress/wp-admin/post.php?post=19487&action=edit
- no contract, published w/o commons wg discussion, >11db sound til midnight, unpermitted booze, $200 paid in cash to almaz which she gave to jenny as gcea october rent.
second time (to my knowledge) the upcoming "it takes a village" baby shower: https://omnicommons.org/calendar/wordpress/wp-admin/post.php?post=20197&action=edit
- original request (does not mention GCEA collaboration): https://omnicommons.org/lists/private/booking/attachments/20171023/ca2e2f32/attachment.html
- again no contract, moved to entrance hall after in-person discussion between dk & almaz re: labor notes event
- published by almaz w/ inclusion of "GCEA Coalition" as relationship and "$250 to GCEA RENT" as payment
laura: main problem is having booze w/o a permit
- write up the lease violations (eg sublessing, building & permitting rules) - unpermitted booze events advertised publicly have happened at least 3 x - NYE event, Sep 30th event, others
- write up delegates proposal w/ commons working group that this is a warning, and if it happens again they'll be evicted, given the threat this poses to the omni
- send note to their fiscal sponsor as well (if proposal is passed)

via sudo: can we add in renegotiating the rental amount with each option to renew?
stipulation on use of ballroom & entrance hall for SF events - eg must be a request to commons, some minimum rental amount or limited # of free events, etc
- laura: afaik they bring the events in themselves, don't charge / rent space for events
  - jenny: just add "use of the Common Areas shall be coordinated through the Commons Working Group"
mop sink / trash area upgrades? via dk at last delegates meeting
- health inspection just requires floor sink or air gap (which there is) & completion of bathroom: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B-AL95NlI75qY2RBVTNxUGtNTm8
