Use of BW space for functions
- this is a staff-type decision
- but maybe we should have a policy?
- Adam: last party was super-awesome but super-loud and doors open - should have policy for what's acceptable for noise levels etc.
- Draft policy - what should be in it? EBC rep present? Paid staff time? Deposit? Hours (end-by time)? Alcohol liabilities/insurance? (might exclude a lot of things we have been doing - but can get event insurance maybe? pricy) David Feldman might know about this. For future development; Steph will try to write up a draft.
- Lee: if this could be a potential source of revenue, do we want to advertise our space?
LRT bike racks/art
- Duncan has talked to 7(!) community leagues who are interested and will write letters of support.
- Has mtng scheduled with mayor's chief of staff and other VIPs: 24th. Will say that the project has much community support, etc.; let's make it happen!
- Regarding the LRT it seems that the existing footbridge near the Muttart will be removed.

End of Meeting
- Start thinking about AGM and its organisation
- 30 September 13.00-16.00
