[sudo-discuss] Proposal to mitigate issues with building

Proposal #1 - access/security: New security policy: The last person to leave SUDO/BAPS area, or the last person in the area, will: - Check all 2nd floor bathrooms, hallways and stairs. (The person bottomlining any BAPS class that gets out in the evenings, should always do this before leaving, even if there are still people at SUDO.) - Make sure the rear stairwell door is deadbolted. - Ask anyone you don't personally recognize who they are and what they are up to. This is a great way to maintain a welcoming space. - If you are bottomlining an event, make sure you are the last one of those attending to leave, or an appropriate SUDO/BAPS member is there. New / fix security infrastructure: - Expand intercom/door-buzz system for the 2 other tenants that rely on 22nd st, as we have done at SUDO. - Fix the keypad system: fabricate a chassis for the unit, secure it and all cabling up off the ground to the wall, and patch whatever software may be malfunctioning on the unit. (Who set this up?) - Make 22nd St entrance cam feed accessible to the other 2 building tenants. - Top-of-stairs door adjacent to the bathrooms: Modify/replace door handle lockset to one which always locks - ie, is always locked from the outside, but always openable from the inside, and cannot be left unlocked unless it is propped open. In addition, install a door-closer at the top of the door. - Install a Public School phone or second line to sudo phone: 510-858-7145 Note with the above changes, SUDO/BAPS folks will always use the elevator. Everyone else, such as the other tenants on the 2nd floor that use the 22nd st entrance, will buzz people in via the intercom, then walk to the top-of-the-stairs door near the bathrooms, and let people in. And the 22nd St door will remain locked most all of the time. Proposal #2 - Cleanliness in shared areas. - Before any big events at SUDO/BAPS, whoever is bottomlining the event should stock the bathrooms with extra TP. I am going to ask Laurie to pay for the TP or include it in our utilities etc., and that it be stored in a space we can get to. - After any big events, the persons bottomlining it check the bathrooms before leaving - empty the trash, take the trash bag and the key to the trashroom/roll-up door in the alley, empty it, and put in a fresh bag. There are two keys for the trash room, one in SUDO room and one in BAPS (both hanging on a hook on the wall.) Trash bags are found under the sink in the common area, as well as in SUDO room. Note there are also small bags for the compost containers. - replace any missing / run-out TP
