New Business Item 2: Employee banked overtime hours (Jonathan 10 min)

  • Discussion notes:

At the Executive Committee meeting, there was a discussion to close the shops during the middle two weeks (2nd and 3rd week) of August to catch up on our banked overtime obligations to our staff (and to give our volunteers a reprieve as well). Otherwise, the shops are only closed from Christmas Eve to New Years. This is a quick-fix solution, if and after, the shops are closed we can review the outcome and set this mandatory break into our annual calendar. A separate discussion is how did we accumulate this much overtime and how do we prevent this from happening in the future. A shop shut-down could also further the recognition and appreciation of our staff and volunteers. It is an opportunity to possibly raise funds and interest of new volunteers in a similar manner as CKUA, etc.

MOTION
To close the shops during the middle two weeks of August to catch up on our banked overtime liability. The dates are to be decieded with staff input.

Seconded: Michael

New Business Item 3: Board Succession Planning (Nancy 10 min)

  • Discussion notes:

Our succession planning needs to look at recruiting a new President. Jon is coming up to the end of his 4-year term. Although, he would likely stay on as a director. Jon's last day as President is December 31st, 2017.

New Business Item 4: We are running a pretty serious deficit (Geoff)

  • Discussion notes:

Further to the Treasurer's report, this spreadsheet goes deeper in why/how we are in worse shape than last year. It is possible that our lower revenues are due to limited stock in the shops, but largely, the deficit comes down to increased spending in the Fall. spreadsheet

Adjournment
