Remote Meeting

7:00 Present: Lily, Ninja, Jolene, Barb L, Ron, Barb A and Karen.

Minutes  Motion by Barb A and seconded by Lily to approve the 

September 2022 minutes. The minutes were approved. 

Registrar Update

Lily says she has been sick and will leave the meeting after her report.  Lily has sent the long term planning document draft to the Committee list.   Some of the suggestions include, should the garden juries meet more frequently? We could have a discussion of the draft at the next meeting.

Since freezing weather is in the forecast, water turn off has been requested from the UW plumbers.  There are quite a few abandoned plots but the number is not out of the ordinary.  

Garden Worker Report

Jolene said that Megan turned in a large carts part order yesterday.  Human Resources has approved our request for 3 garden workers.  The positions will be posted on January 1st of the year.  The committee was very positive about how well the mowing contact for the year was done by Tanya.  We need mowing done like this every year, which is 2 hours a week.  The committee needs to brainstorm about hiring good garden workers.  Jolene suggests that we have a written statement about what is expected in a garden worker.

Jolene reports that Will resigned last month as a garden worker. He could still do contract plumbing work.

The large water leak near the leaf pile has been fixed.

Introductions

We all introduced ourselves as there was a new attendee.
