WWC - Julia Planning to open beginning of Nov. - possibly Nov. 9 - need to fill out our staff for hosts. Ben will continue to be our manager, and Julia Cochrane is ED!
Update on Mountain View Campus - currently against code for a day shelter to be there - cure is called an “overlay” which is a purely political process.
As usual we will be in the Pope Marine Building - open 8:30-12:30 daily, longer when needed.
Greg Brotherton - Kate and Heidi did an evening meal. When the donor kitchen is set up - it will be easier. Hoping to do this again, most probably less than 6 people!
Bayside - Heather - still has one host position open. Donor Kitchen certification has not happened yet - everything is done and hoping to have the paperwork any moment. Put a brand new
donated fridge in there - for left overs and supplies that can be used for meals.
Dishes - Terry took all the dishes when he left. Metal spoons, metal knives - need forks. Have a fair number of plates - hard plastic. Julia will put out an ask for hard plastic dishes
thru the Ministerial Assoc/JIAC and Heather will do the same.
Olycap case manager Allison - when is it open etc. - will put out a handout for out hours, here is the phone and the protocol.
Trevor - Blue Flag - anything under 33 degrees - even if they were trespassed. They sat in the cafeteria. Capacity - 62 Invite Emergency Management the next year.
Trevor will receive HMIS training, and hopefully the overnight hosts will also be trained so that it's updated daily.
Next goal for Trevor is to continue to write down shelter policies and procedures to share with the Legion.
Viola - Point in Time Count is fast approaching. Has a volunteer coordinator. There will be training sessions and a way to host a PIT Count. We should all either contact Viola or open
our emails! We have a week to complete our count. Social Media fliers and plot points on a map to reach points in West and South county.
Welcome reception for Holly Morgan - Tomorrow from 4:00-6:00 at Old Alcohol Plant
Bob Saring - yes would like to meet with Trevor - also offering excess china, paper and plastic plates. Would like to be kept in the loop about the “Warming Center”. Heather will draft
a procedure about opening up as a Warming Center and bring it to Bob/American Legion.
Conversation about West end lack of services and PIT Count started by Ariel.
Veterans day - Monday - so Greg will not be at the next meeting - Heather will facilitate the meeting.
