<div>Plan B. If you're open to proposals:</div><div><br></div><div> I have a W9 and contract here for hirable services for janitorial work. The price will be a fixed fee for $80 per month, with Net-30 terms. </div><div>
<br></div><div> The contract will specify cleaning to be done for Noisebridge every Monday evening. However, I need an Appendix-A (an itemized list of work that should be done on each visit).</div><div><br></div><div> If you can get me that, and we can get a signed contract, I will officially take care of the janitorial work. For every extra week day (per month) that Janitorial work should be done, there will be an extra fee of $80 (and we would have to have a new signed contract). Also, we would need to review the contract on a regular basis (possibly yearly) with a new signed contract.</div>
<div><br></div><div> This can either be with Glen Jarvis, LLC or with the individual Glen Jarvis. The choice here should be negotiated. My business usually hires out technical services, not janitorial services. Although there isn't anything that stops me from doing the latter, I do need to consider it...</div>
<div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Glen</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Oh, and, maybe I should consider getting a membership now... Jim said he's sponsor me.</div><div><br></div>

We've already discussed exchanging maid service for membership dues several months back. There are legal issues that prevent this. We would have to pay someone, then they give us that money as dues.<br><br>Christie<br clear="all">

This message was held on at least one mailing list (probably build), so I'll resend it to the group to make certain it was received. Please forgive the double posting:<div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;border-collapse:collapse">I see two pieces that may fit well together:<br>
<br>1) The need for a maid service,<br>2) potential members who wish to contribute, but are financially not able<br><br>These would fit well together *if* we can outline the exact maid duties needed on a nightly basis, and a measure of how those maid duties will be verified as successfully completed.<br>
<br>Unlike the normal excellence we require and should continually encourage. The people doing the maid service is doing a real job --- the pay is not money, but membership dues. And, as a reward for their work, they get *real* membership benefits, like, for example a shelf -- or whatever benefits members get that guests don't.<br>
<br>Now, since this is s job, it can - and should be - revoked if performance isn't up to snuff. This is another reason for the two clearly defined and objective points above (what does the job entail and how are the points measured).<br>
<br>For example, let's say Glen agrees to do maid service every Monday night o in exchange for real membership. Every Monday, after hardware hacking, he does the dishes, throws away all food, takes out the trash, cleaned the hardware table, and sweeps and mops the floor -- a fixed set of duties, no more, no less.<br>
<br>If food is found on Friday morning, Glen isn't responsible -- the Thursday night guy/gal is. However, if on Tuesday morning, old food is found, the floors are dirty, etc., Glen was clearly remiss in his duties and a note to the list like "Monday night maid service seemed lacking last night" could be posted. If this were a constant pattern, maybe Glen could find another way of paying for membership (again the concept of a real job or real exchange of value is necessary).<br>
<br>This way, this can scale out past the few very proactive souls that have been doing clean up because they have a strong vision for the place, but they are getting weary of doing extra work that is unappreciative, there is no value for, and for which there seems to be no end in sight.<br>
<br>I, Glen Jarvis, would be interested in such an arrangement. But, only for Monday nights. And, I imagine you need maid service several times per week.<br><br>Some of the tasks have already been outlined in the Wiki... So, I don't think this will be too hard to implement if there is interest... Also, note, I still believe someone like Jim or Rubin should still br responsible for inspection and the occassional feedback that we would give our normal maid service.<br>
<br>There may be other guests who would like to convert to membership, but need other ways to pay their dues.</span></div>
