Councilor's Name: Councilor Ridcully

Bill to Propose: Build a "health bar"
Additional Notes: Far be it from me to use my authority to force people to excercise. Instead, I would like to organize the construction of a specialized cafeteria. A "health bar", if you will. This would only be available to Confuto Ordinatio employees who have logged the required number of physical training hours, and would stock a superior selection of food and beverages. Perhaps five hours a week as the absolute minimum. I think this small incentive to improve the overall health of this fine organization, while perhaps not STRICTLY necessary, could only benefit us.

EDITS
- Food provided at this facility would be available for free, as a compensation for those working at CO, much like the food in the cafeteria.
- Food provided at this facility would be of a similar type as the food offered in the cafeteria, but made by a better cooking staff, with higher quality ingredients, and in smaller amounts (as this cafeteria would be serving a smaller crowd.)
- [Included herein is a menu of all the food AND DRINK Ridcully would suggest be served here. None of it is really what you'd think of as "health food", but it all looks reasonably tasty.]
- To shut up put certain councilors at ease, I shall oversee the construction myself to make sure no rabid wolves or other dangers are released into the cafeteria.

... While I understand the idea of this proposal, I see a minor issue in it already.

The Health Bar, as stated, does not account for the cost of the higher-end food and beverage items. The result could price it beyond what would be affordable to Agents, rendering the resulting implied luxury - and thus the entire reason for the operation - something only enjoyed by Enforcers and Councilors.

For that matter, why would Councilors seek to use this bar when some of the best food on campus is available solely to us through the restaurants attached to our penthouses?

... and what about people who don't care about food and beverages that much for this to be an incentive for them? Especially robots and stuff like that... well, then again, robots don't need the exercise... that's a bad example...

Even if they can eat it, healthy food isn't a reward. No matter what they decide to serve, it's either letting them pay more for junk, or undoing everything.

Eh, it'd be easier just to mandate the workout. Noone has enough money for this thing to work anyway!

It does seem a bit odd to make people have to earn the healthy food.

The price-points should be specified within the bill's text, then.

Otherwise, it is likely that your intent will be subverted.

You do have a good point about Councilors not necessarily needing to be in as ideal of form, as much as I am loathe to say it.

You should include drinks in the addendum of you bill, because whoever actually processes the bill would notice that you're only mentioning food.

... I'm not sure you know how things work here entirely... n-no offense or anything, but...

Um... for example...

There was this one bill that was passed before where they were constructing new apartments for the agents because people were being crowded three to a room. But it ended up that only the rooms were being made and they didn't include beds and stuff... and then all sorts of followups and weird stuff happened... it was all a big mess.

You have to be specific on your bills to avoid this kind of stuff, unless you're saying that us councilors are going to be the ones actually making the bar and taking care of all the work getting it set up...

... to be fair, the construction crew isn't responsible for delivering furniture and stuff. That'd be the job of the furniture warehouse people, or something like that.

... like I said, you have to be specific, or they'll just leave out stuff that should seem like it goes without saying...

You still haven't included that drinks would be free, too, unless you're saying they shouldn't be.

... and don't make it sound like they're my standards. If it was up to me, the way you had it worded earlier would be fine, but I'm trying to help you so the bill doesn't get processed in a weird way.
