The nutrition program imposes some restrictions on what can be put in the refrigerator. Significant issues brought up during the meeting: Kitchen What restrictions are there with the proposed 'staff only' kitchen? We need clarification on code issues, who establishes usage policy, what food options will be possible, how the kitchen may be used. Can we make some minor changes that would allow for greater access and flexibility?
