Announcements
• Mental Health- the Time Dollars lady came and spoke; she’s very interested in participation; they’re also trying to get the Mental Health program going
• Bian gave a list of numbers to call for the CoCA project; please sign up to take some numbers
• Io- has started organizing a debate about SB840 and health care reform, and it will probably be in late February; PC voted yes to endorse the debate, and yes to donate $80 for flyers, etc.
Clinic Updates
• Youth Clinic- outreach is down, it needs to be brought back; there is an issue of getting clients to Berkeley Free Clinic for testing; they need more hygiene supplies; they need Mental Health support
• Women’s Clinic- clinic went well, there was a new staff member and new client; services went well; they need to find out more about Time Dollars
• General Clinic- Noah’s Bagels had said they could only donate bagels for 4 weeks, so Starbucks said they could give day-old unsold pastries, but they don’t want those, so they will wait until Noah’s gets a new general manager; the chef at 1st Presbyterian will be giving food; services went really well; chiro is good; dental will be coming soon; legal is doing well; nametags have been helping; they’re getting a new haircutter for a test run, so hopefully soon students can learn how to cut hair
• SHARE- went really well, clients had good one-on-one interaction
• Class- if anyone has something to contribute, email a class coordinator; class is in 88 Dwinelle, so come check it out if interested
Elections Discussion
Ideas:
• Revert to policy book
• Change election to allow more time for candidate evaluation
• Campaign blurb
• Public/private voting
• Separate clinic voting
• Sunny’s proposal
• Former position holders should endorse new candidates
Conclusion: read over Sunny’s proposal, and email any objections/proposals to Courtney by Monday, to court@berkeley.edu; voting on Sunny’s proposal will be next week; Courtney will email out the proposals on Tuesday
