- Survey ordered.
- Reactions /Results to Meeting with St Mark’s Church
- They want some of our land.
- Carmen’s land is key
- Suggestion: use Joe’s + Marla’s land to start plan on: possibly increase later
- Look at last zoom for financial analysis to see how the change in land changes our project
- Still looking for a name: Harmony Hideaway, Tampa Skylark / Commons, Hideaway Village, Community, Maybe not Hideaway…we’re not recluses nor a secret. Some spiritual connotation? Beacon? other words: Vision, Reflections, Emerson, source, Quest, view, global, reason,
- Sue M and Roger will work on mission and vision,
- What do we agree on? Each of us needs to think about what we want.
- size of community?
- cooperation with St Mark’s (we don’t have to)
- size of houses from anything goes to a predefined range of sizes
- amenities
- realities of Florida (frequent travelers) many of our members may be snowbirds
- cost
- affordability: one community owned house- could use for immigrant sponsors, shelter, emergency, intern at church, would be funded by rent or government agencies
- Conflict resolution and consensus. we need a covenant and to be aware of our interactions with each other and not-yet-members
- Roger will plan Co-housing presentation to do for St Marks, (and others) interested
- What I learned from books: important steps that cannot be skipped:
- Become a community… increase commitment… I will participate and help with planning.
- we need more people… we need to have a marketing, outreach plan, see zoom 3/11. This is really important
- work together … divide up the tasks… small teams to handle small tasks
- Physical land and building … many details ongoing..
- If #1 doesn’t happen, we can still build a housing development, but it won’t become a values based co-housing community.
- Become a community… increase commitment… I will participate and help with planning.
- Future zooms: check in and check out time reserved each meeting. Each person has the time to speak or be given the time to gather and share thoughts without interruption.
- Goals for next week:
- Answers about land from Carmen, talk to Linda and Tommy about future purchase
- Survey of our shared vision
- Finish land clearing, get survey, mark trees
- Preliminary legal discussions for ownership and development: Marla call Pamela-Jo
- Name: keep brainstorming
- John Bunch new community
- Suggestion: St. Marks limit offer to specific time. We come in behind them.
- Great meeting folks. How do we get the rest of the gang to be here weekly?
- Other info: John Bunch forming new community near Hillsborough river
