Dan DeRock and Membership agreed to look into this. The web site and Craigs list are the most important ways that new members find out about RCHC. Up to $200 was approved to extend the domain name for at least 2 years. 10) Avi shared several concerns that he had about how Dan Rathjen has handled his Resource Coordinator duties. Avi said that there has been poor communication from Dan with respect to the Bloom porch, that the prioritized maintenance task list has been ignored, and that Dan has gone back to school and may not be able to give sufficient time to being Resource Coordinator. These concerns led Avi to propose that RCHC terminate our contract with Dan. Dan explained that Bloom porch gutter liner has been a continuing source of frustration for him due to issues outside of his control. He has made some adjustment to his tasks due to seasonal issues. He felt that he had to go back to graduate school to insure a source of income since he did not receive a contract from RCHC until after school started. He can document that he has been able to put in the 30 hours a week that he agreed to. Dan agreed to do the following to address these concerns: a. He will put into Google docs documentation of the hours that he has worked and will have weekly printouts available in the Summit work credit binder b. He will draw up a new contract for himself and RCHC that will put him into an hourly status instead of a flat salary. c. He will make his weekly upcoming work plans available in Google Calendar. d. He will send out a weekly status email that will explain his upcoming
