ANC Meeting
Discussed single-member districts and short-term housing rental. They plan to vote their position next time.

CNA PayPal Account
Don asked the BNA president for suggestions on how to implement a PayPal account for the CNA. He referred him to their treasurer, but she has not responded.

Funding Guidelines
A vote was taken on whether or not to have funding guidelines. The committee voted in favor of having guidelines.

A vote was taken on whether or not to approve $7k as a reserve. The vote was tied 4 for and 4 against. Another vote was taken on whether or not to approve $10k as a reserve. This passed with 5 for and 4 against.

Deanna proposed having an annual budget so that the ex comm would know how much money could be allocated to projects, and amended the proposed guidelines to reflect that. The budget would have to be ready in time for the April newsletter, prior to the May elections. The budget would then be voted on, and amended if it does not initially pass, by the general assembly at the May meeting.

The amended guidelines were voted on and approved. Deanna will send an e-copy to Don to post on the web site.

Donation to the BNA
Emily said that the hose on the truck rented by the BNA to water the Arroyo Seco trees broke, and they had too few volunteers for their effort, so we will wait to see if they require assistance or not. They seemed to be more in need of volunteers than money. We decided to assist them with future projects, like the luminaries.

Volunteer Appreciation Dinner
This was proposed to be held in February.
