Tom asked FCI to communicate to Alumni Boards which have been inspected by the BSF and are ready for city inspection.

Creation of an Alumni Directory was affirmed by the AILG Plenary meeting.

The committee discussed the Facility Action Plans (FAPs), There was consensus that the Facilities Committee callers will ask houses about progress on their FAPs  and the role of the Facilities Committee will be to document and track the FAPs on an annual basis.

There were some questions about the IRDF process, and committee members were referred to the IRDF website (irdf.mit.edu).

New Business: Pilot Houses each had some work to be done. Lesson learned is that reopening preparations take time and should not be left to the last minute. Dennis indicated that MIT Housing reopening experienced dry drains, cracked pipes, problem refrigerators, toilet wax seals, tank seals and flapper valves, stoves.
