*Adam: What I'm gathering is that you need to direct Correen to act as if we gearing up for the biggest blockbuster season ever at the South Shop. That is how we need her to be preparing. | *Adam: What I'm gathering is that you need to direct Correen to act as if we gearing up for the biggest blockbuster season ever at the South Shop.

*Greg: When we approached the landlord asking for a rent reduction, the bank wanted to see more income from the property. The landlord wanted increased rent of 20 - 25%. He might be in a different frame of mind at this point because he has not yet leased the building. | *Greg: When we approached the landlord asking for a rent reduction, the bank wanted to see more income from the property.

*Marcel: I think Adam had a good suggestion there. Do we need to pass a motion right here and now about it? | *Marcel: I think Adam had a good suggestion there. Do we need to pass a motion right here and now about it? I hear Coreen saying she needs some kind of certainty. | ||
*Coreen: What I would like to see is a motion for someone to negotiate a short term extension of the lease. | |||
*Sarah: We have a few things -- the suggestion Adam made makes sense, although I am worried about depleting our casino account. We should have new discussion with the landlord, but I also think we should hunt for a new space and plan to move in September and October. What that means for you Coreen, is that you may have to move, while also managing your plans for the summer. I am very concerned about a month to month lease with the landlord. We need to have a three pronged strategy. | |||
*Alex: I am feeling frustration about the lack of a meeting date for the board to discuss this. I really think it's very urgent. We need a plan NOW. You have underestimated how difficult this is for the staff. I think we all just need to get together and spend several hours hashing everything out. We all need to be on the same page. Can we please get that meeting planned in the next day or two? | |||
*Stephen: Can we organize it now? | |||
