FEED Operations Committee Meeting, 11-2-15
FEED Conference Room
Present: Lisa Wiese, Karin Cretney, Martee Mikalson, Abha Thakkar, Chris Brockel, Terrie Anderson
Agenda:
- Contract legal review
- Basecamp tutorial
- Budget Update
- Hiring a facility manager
- User orientation changes
Decisions:
- We will hire a lawyer to go over contract, as UW law school not an option because of time
- With USDA grant, some of Adam’s salary is covered for devoting 25% of his hours to Marketing & Outreach. This increases the need for additional coverage by staff in Kitchens. One option: take the three part-time jobs that are in the budget (Billing & Scheduling Assistant, Food Processing Coordinator, FEED Facility Manager) and make them 1 FTE position—Operations Coordinator, hire for the hours we can afford as soon as possible.
- User orientation will now be a 6-hour process consisting of:
- 5 hours of orientation with Adam or multiple half-hour sessions
- – 2.5 hours of working alongside with an experienced user – either on the new user’s time or apprenticing an experienced user
- – 1 hour of walk-through exam with staff/experienced user
- – 1 check-out procedure with staff after their first-time use
Action Items:
- Martee will pursue a lawyer who may donate a portion of the review or work pro bono
- Terrie rewrite FEED summary paragraph for 100+ Women Who Care
- Abha, Martee, Adam and Chris will write a position description for Operations Coordinator.
