-Communication with HR: Nick would like better communication with HR. Would like to know start dates, perspective hires, any problems or complications.

-Cafe Staffing: Cafe managers and employees feel we should have two staff in cafe at all times. There is too much to do for one person and volunteers are hit or miss. This will insure the cafe is well stocked, customers will be happier, employees will be happier. Payroll should stay within 40% of sales. Finance committee should alert cafe when payroll is higher then it should be.

-Accountability: Gib suggest that we are not holding each other accountable as much as we should be. WC has come a long way but we need to do better. People need to speak up more. Some suggestions:
*HR read over WC notes and make sure there is a follow through with tasks.
*Issues should be brought up one on one with people before its is discussed at WC meeting. This will allow for people to process the issue and not feel like they are being attacked.
*We need to bond more.
*Bring back dry erase board for task and accountability
*Need to brain storm some of the bigger picture issues, goals.
* W.C. will bring to next workers coll
