Please join in planning and developing this event!

This meeting is to discuss items/issues/concerns from the Fall Burn.
Additional details can be found on the BBS:
playadelfuego.org/bbs/viewforum.php

Details on the BBS regarding this particular meeting can be found here:
playadelfuego.org/bbs/viewtopic.php

The agenda as it currently stands (always open to additional suggestions ON
THE BBS) is as follows:

1. Sound Problems

a. Possibility of Theme Camp Sound Registration
b. Sound Patrol (how do we give Sound Patrol "enforcement authority"?
The enforcement issue may be something we have to take to the board, since
they deal with evictions and such.)

2. Clean Up Problems

a. Creation of a Moop Map

3. Ticket Cap Increase

a. Additional Parking
b. Additional Trash Roll Offs
c. Additional Port-a-Potties
d. Additional Insurance Considerations

4. Future Fall Burn Needs

a. Additional Wood Purchase (we need to consider buying additional wood
because it's just so much colder. We also may want to think about asking the
Vets if they'd like to sell us firewood by the bundle to individuals, rather
than dipping into community money to pay for it)

5. Location Search Status Update

a. Request a Status from Magorn and the Land Search Committee

6. Work Weekend

Jill proposes: rounding up volunteers for a pre-burn work weekend in early
or mid May. Two chores that may need doing:

a. finishing up the permanent burn pad, and
b. inventory metal sheets and cinder blocks stashed next to the PDF shed,
and toss out/recycle the material we can no longer use. We'll need to get
permission from the Vets before we do anything, and then Jill will round up
volunteers to get the chores done.

7. Misting Station

Jill proposes: we spend about $100 to develop a misting station. Not knowing
where this idea would come from in the budget, and it isn't truly a
necessity, but it could make things a lot more pleasant, not to mention
averting heatstroke on those 95 degree days. (I'd pay for this myself, but
I'm too damn poor) We can put it right over the trench near the sink so we
don't have to worry about drainage. I'm thinking simple and sweet- just
misting hose on top of several poles with hooks at the top to hold the hose
in place. I believe we already have hose splitters in place, so we can run
one to the sink and one to the misting station. I've never dealt with this
before, but it looks easy enough. Any info from anyone who has had
experience would be most appreciated.

Jill did some research and found this:

Three hoses hooked together should work really well and produce a nice oasis
where people can go for a few minutes just to cool down. $75 for hoses, $25
for poles and hooks.
