In attendance:
Eric
Jon
Dillon
Christina
No formal agenda was used but the discussion yielded the following:
- We solidified our intention to occupy maritime heritage park
- We discussed setting up a meeting with mayor dan pike to see where he would stand and what he could offer to this permanet occupation (eric will pursue)
- Jon will contact the parks department to see where they stand as well as to ask about specific laws pertaining to open fires in parks
- We made a tentative layout for how the camp will be organized, where the camping zones will be and where to place larger group tents for food, medicine, library, workshop space and a larger still community structure with a potential fire pit in the middle.
- We also talked about mud control and decided that once the camp is established we could either use straw to line the main pathways of the camp or create a boardwalk out of pallets and ply wood (Jon is pursuing these resources)
- Jon will also look into tents for the group shelters, by contacting local companies and organizations
- Christina will pursue resources on whatcom community college campus
- We discussed potentials for defending the encampment and are pursuing resources related to this.
- Eric has drafted a list of needed resources, blankets, tents, sleeping bags, etc and will be pursing how to release this info, i.e. Craigslist, Facebook, etc.
