Meeting

Aims of the meeting
The meeting was called to discuss the problem of parking at ADMC. Our goal is to find the best solution to make the parking big enough for the number of the students cars. We had the best solution which is to build a parking building for students besides the F-block parking.

Minutes of the meeting

Date: 23-2-2010
Time: 1:20 pm.
Place: F52.
In attendance: Saif Al Khaili, Salem Al Mazrouei, Faisal Al Dhaheri, Ahmed Almansoori.

Agenda:
1-Discuss the problem of college parking.
2-Finding a solution for traffic congestion in the parking lot.
3-Discuss the solutions.
4-Agree with the best solution.

Saif called the meeting to order at 1:20 p.m. The first item declared was:

1-One of the most important solutions is to build a parking building in J-Block. It was Salem’s idea.
2- No one agreed with Salem because there is no space.
3- The idea that we agreed was Faisal's idea; he suggested building the building in the F-block parking.

Saif asked if there was AOB; he then closed the meeting at 1:30 p.m

Reflection:
I’m the participant, and the meeting went well run by a good chairmen (Saif) who discussed with us the problem.The Secretary (Faisal) wrote for us the solutions. The other participant (Salem) gave us very good solutions. We could improve our meeting by working hand in hand. I learned how to work with a group to find a solution or a better way to fix something.
