** | ** We are pursuing the viability of achieving charitable status under an educational pillar. But if we find that we can not support the education premise we may not continue further with the charitable status application. We will likely need some professional advice to prepare our argument and gauge our chances of success before we submit a second application. We need reasonable assurance from a reliable third party before resubmitting. | ||
We may need to implement a more clearly outlined structure in our educational approach to Bikeworks. | |||

** | **You Can Ride 2 Not For Profit Status Update | ||
** | ** YCR2 has clarified their intention to pursue charitable status. It is a need for their organization. We're looking for a board consensus on what we feel would be a good relationship moving forward. The issues arising are EBC paid staff using their time for YCR2 (however they have offered to offset this expense as required). Ultimately we should not sour relations with this excellent organization and we will continue to support them as best we can while moving to keep our respective finances separated. Many of our volunteers are currently shared and we are optimistic that this will not cause any conflicts among our volunteers who assist both EBC and YCR2. | ||
There is some financial risk if they choose to hire a new Program Coordinator. Our costs are currently being subsidized by YCR2. Alternatively, we may need to hire a new Program Coordinator if they opt to hire Molly full-time. | |||
'''Action Item:''' Jon to have a conversation with Molly regarding her preferences moving forward. | |||
New Business | |||
Item 1. New Brand/ Name for EBC | |||

** | ** Read the report here: [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PIMpHKLIMEU8yKE9VaZuXOklgGc-WhxI1Y6jDb1MLiE/edit 2014 Name Change Report]] | ||
It appears that we do have a disconnect between the services we offer and the image we carry. However, the re-branding should done because it is a rebrand, not because of any events associated with us parting ways with YCR2. This is a large project and if we pursue it, we should do it for the right reasons and in the best interests of the greater community. The 2014 survey is recent enough to still give us a mandate for change. We should hold an open house and give our membership a chance to voice their opinions or concerns associated with a major rebrand. Our core volunteers may surprise us with a fierce preference to hold onto tradition. | |||
Jon: I would make a suggestion that the Strategic Planning should map out the path forward and the sequence of events. Do we actually have to legally change our name if we change our operating name under the numbered company/organization. What would the financial implications be? What would the time resources be? | |||
We could also keep the logo only change the text surrounding the bike image. | |||
'''Action Item:''' Strategic Planning Committee to take the lead with laying out the next steps. | |||

* Discussion notes: | * Discussion notes: | ||
Goodwill has received their $75,000 grant. | |||
And YCR2 is now pursuing charitable status independent of EBC. | |||
The updated agreement has differentiated between the programs of EBC and YCR2, the new agreement appears (?) strictly focussed on the programs of YCR2 and may not permit access to EBC programs. Jon will seek clarification on this point. | |||
The second issue, in the event that YCR2 becomes a separate legal entity the agreement becomes binding on both EBC and YCR2 as separate entities. We will want to establish an exit clause for EBC in case YCR2 dissolves are we are left liable for the matching $25,000 (x3 over the course of the contract for). | |||
