How much, if anything, do we leave to them in terms of deciding logo?

How do we transition decision-making power/responsibility over time?

What affects our decisions to direct, advise/suggest, bite-our-tongues, etc.? What is the plan for customer service training?

How much latitude are we giving them in deciding bylaws and personnel policies?

How are we going to train the production trainers regarding giving feedback/instruction/evaluation?

Are we going to budget time for them to possibly adopt a mission statement pre-opening?

Present:  everybody!

Tim jury duty Feb 17
Jack moving 2/14

Documentarian check-in:  Colby has enough material on the wiki at this point for feedback and will have more by next meeting.

Jack and I met with Lisa Zuffi this morning to review One California's offered terms.  Please find the term sheet attached.  Among the good news is that they're willing to loan us the entire $717K if needed and would do so only with a guarantee from the Association plus a fairly small "interest reserve" ($50,000 put in an account that can't be touched without their permission or until two profitable quarters have been achieved, and which they can seize upon any default...we get the interest earned on the $50,000, incidentally).
