* | *Colin and Keith met to come up with a plan for operationalizing the budget, and presented that to staff. Staff met with Colin this afternoon with their own ideas, and he just circulated some draft ideas (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IAijlQSr48NPN-KIqgTYbOonBLrpnxO0VPJnaQWezNQ/edit). Board members will be invited to a session on finalizing these plans, before the AGM. | ||

* | *Colin angling to get a student in January to fix our membership database system. | ||
*Looking at Alberta Eco-Trust grant, opening in December, once of their streams is circular economy, looks like not a lot of strings attached. We have gotten funds from them in the past. It covers a lot of stuff we already do. We just started taking bikes from Eco-Station. Once you're deemed to be eligible it's a lottery. | |||
*Heather wanted a decision on the price of the cycling caps, and should there be a discount for volunteers. The cost to us will be max $15k (+shipping TBD). It was decided: $25 volunteer / $50 general. | |||

* | * There might be a little stickiness in terms of buying things before having the money for it from the city-- we can probably buy for 2 community leagues at a time and use the reimbursement to buy the next batch. Our Mastercard limit is only $10k. And there are some rolling shortages in the bike part world still. (Maybe we should get our limit increased for logistical reasons going forward). Another factor: any order arriving by truck can have Coreen stuck at the store all day waiting for it to show up. Keith would guess we are a little behind on timeline, but we have identified 5 community leagues, and Heather should be tracking Karly's progress (who is herself pretty reliable). | ||

* | * City has approved the grant. Isla and Sarah will collaborate on a communication schedule. Timeline will have to be adjusted slightly as the approval was a bit later than we had anticipated. Coreen is putting in an order including winter tires this week, with the expectation of later putting in a second order. We will also need 5 sets of lights; 5 sets of fenders. | ||
