The council created a FB-group called Inspector Hørhus, where all represenatives and Torben are members. The group was created in order to make a better contact between us and the caretakers. We can now get in contact with them all day around and don’t need to go down to them at a certain time.
The council created leaflets for new residents, Søren (129) designed them. They have all relevant info for new residents on them and will be translated into english as well.
Our bar has got new furniture and lighting, which the council paid for. Very cool new lights – we are looking forward to parties down here.

The biggest project form last year was the sauna. We are very happy to announce it is working now and can be used. Allan will be handing out keys after the meeting. Rules are in the sauna and soon also on the website. In the future the Garden and Sauna committee (socalled Gauna) will look after the sauna. This committee is in need for new members

6: Financial statement
The financial statement for the whole dorm was handed out on every kitchen and we can now discuss it and ask our questions. Victor (339) and Stef (737) will take the questions to the board:
Washing – twice the budget, why? If we know it will be higher, why isn’t on the budget? But the number is really really high, so something is wrong. We need to understand what is going on.
Daniel says, that there at the board meeting always is a paper with additional notes. We need that at our resident’s meetings, because then we would understand more and better.
7: Council financial statement
Nikolaj (640), as the new treasurer, wants to give all the residents an overview on the ecomony the council is managing. Every resident is pay ‘kolliganerbidrag’ every month. The conucil used the money for gift for Hans, contributions to parties, the interior of the sauana, new lightning of the bar and money to all floors. The council gives 500 kr. Every three month to every floor to support. Beforehand this money where on the so-called floor accounts, but last year the council decided to abbolished them, but this never happened. Nikolaj will clear up the messy accounting and transfere the money to the floors. In order to do this Nikolaj needs thye contact information of the different kitchen accounts from all floors.
Bar and party account is seperat from the big council account and accounting on this has been not done so well, Nikolaj will need some inside to clear this up. The council spended some money from this account in the time of the crisis where we could not access the big council account – this needs to be fixed and clear up. (Magnus and Søren will help him)
In general there are around 100.000 kr. On the council account (including 20.000 kr. From the floor accounts.) So the council have the money to do great projects, we just need to finded them and make it happen. 🙂
8: Door chips
There has been some problems in the basement. Bikes are getting stolen from done there. The council propose that we get a electronic chip for the door in the basement, so it gets more difficult to steal and get into the door. This would cost 5.500 kr. The other option would be to block the door. Moreover the council propose to abolished the big normal key in the long turn, in order to make it more secure and easy with fewer keys.
Voting: The meeting approves 5.500 kr. Budget for charging the door and gives the coucil to power to abolished the large key in the long run.
The discussion show that there are some problems with other doors of the dorm, ex. Doors in the basement that close automatically, this is hard to handle with a bicycle. (This is fixed already!) The staircase doors don’t close automatically and this is a lack of security as well. This would be some of the doors which should be replaced in the long run.
9: Hallway sensors project
Lea (145) presents the idea to get sensors on all hallways, as we have it in the basement now. This should be done in order to save money and energy in the long run. She presents three different offers from 50.000 to 100.000 kr. This money will not go from the council money, but from the big big budget from the whole dorm. If this is approved the board will decided to put money on the side for this and it will not resulted in a rent increasing. The disucssion show an interest in the project, but also some concern. How much money will we save in the long run? Should it be with audio or movement control? The lifetime of lightbulbs might decrease, when constantly turned on and off. Would maybe be a good idea to change to LED-light in the same project. This year we used half a million on electricity, but we don’t know how much light is on this post.
The dicusssion concluded that we were positive about the idea in general, but we need some more information and money need to be put aside for the project.
The meeting approved a budget on 100.000 kr. For this proejct and to give the resident’s council the power to get more information and decide if the council wants to continue with it or if it should be brought up at the next resident’s meeting again.
10: Other points
Filip (338) propose a change in the house order, an addition to rule §8. According to the rules the resident’s meeting can’t vote on things who wern’t on the agenda.
