CCGC Minutes 1/8/2008

Steering committee

 * Has been flexible up to this point, but considering asking for a commitment for a certain term to maintain continuity in meetings. Much time has been spent catching people up on previous meeting topics


 * One option is to keep attendance flexible, but ask that before meetings people read the minutes from previous meeting if they missed it


 * Need to clearly define requirements for being a part of the steering committee

Communication

 * How should we communicate w/gardeners?


 * 1) Have wiki, weekly report from queen bee, sign at garden of to do list and harvest


 * 1) Create guidelines for queen bee, calling steering committee meetings, etc.


 * Need to call a meeting to get input from gardeners – first need to define requirements for queen bee and steering committee participation

Roles to fill

 * Queen bee


 * Water catchment


 * Water distribution


 * Interface with OCPYC (Jay’s not sure he can continue to fill that role so someone else will need to take that over)


 * Interface with town


 * Queen Bee


 * 1) Decide on timeframe where we need a queen bee – mar thru oct?


 * 1) Need to define requirements


 * 1) Queen Bee doesn’t have to make all decisions or be the most experienced, but be the communicator of what needs to happen for the day


 * 1) Welcome new people to the garden, give a tour, and offer initial guidance


 * 1) First thing in the morning others can provide input for the general agenda for the day


 * 1) Maybe have two queen bees per day


 * 1) Training on use of cistern
