* | * To summarize, this member floated an idea to make some T-shirts. Heather: unclear details include the slogan to be printed, whether it is a fundraiser to BE, the quality of the shirts, inclusivity ex women's sizes. Keith feels we should let him go ahead and try something. Marcel's understanding is that it's neither a fundraiser nor requiring any funding from us, it will be print on demand-- he tends to agree with Keith. Coreen notes we have cases of shirts sitting around from previous attempts. Sarah notes we need to be protective of our brand-- Derek agrees. | ||

* | * Marcel has determined this might not be feasible, probably a non-starter, unless someone gives us money (he asked a couple of organizations, no responses yet). | ||

* | * Coreen feels that given our current capacity, some of the bike builders may be interest in doing some of these outreach bike-tuning events. Administrating this will take some time, but it should be net positive, and it maintains our relationship with the City. Events after the move will be easier. She thinks bike valet parking would be harder to staff. Adam encouraged her to make these decisions with respect to profitability and sustainability, not implicit obligations. | ||
===Introduction to Jonathan Woelber === | ===Introduction to Jonathan Woelber === | ||
Jonathan chose to attend today for a few reasons. 1, to give an update on our outreach program with Boyle Street, which may be able to go forward now that they have some space in the Bissel Centre location, so Jonathan and volunteer Bruce MacKintosh will be doing that. He is also prepared to fill out board vacancy. He is past president of BE, and has been a volunteer since 2013, and continues to be a volunteer at the downtown shop. | |||

* | * Heather feels it would be good to have a set of keys held by the board, as a matter of preparedness. | ||
* | * Coreen: there is a list of all the key-holders on Google Drive, and they all sign a keyholder agreement. Board members Matt and soon-to-be member Jonathan already have keys. | ||

* | * Heather and others have proposed it. Matt points out this is a good idea given high board turnover. Further discussion was in-camera. | ||
=== Funding for Shop Manager Facilitator=== | === Funding for Shop Manager Facilitator=== | ||
* | * As our shop managers are merging their work, normally the ED would be involved in that. Keith doesn't feel anyone on the board should take over facilitating that. There was a suggestion to take some money to hire a facilitator to help shop managers figure this out. There was little interest in this from board or staff. | ||
