Joyce made a motion that the loan of 100$ be paid back at a rate of $5 a night for each night he works. This should be paid of by Jan 7th. if the loan is not paid in full this should go up by 10 percent a week and he should not be able to set up until it's paid. Chris seconded. This passed.

Myra suggested other city liaisons, The property manager Marilyn Wilbur could work with us also David Fernandez and Mark Finnegan are possible liaison people.

Lisa Levey is a person who could offer board training. At $1500 for a full day of training. She could also do things broken up into sessions. Ryan knows of a free alternative. But it's less flexible. Joyce reports that Lisa sounded exited about our group she thinks we might be fun. Joyce suggested that we could ask her to serve on the board. These sessions should be open to all members. Possibly she could be used as a punishment. Her class would be an alternative to suspension. Joyce will invite her to the meeting. To present her service which primarily teaches people skills.
