*$48k surplus this year, compared to deficits of $98k and $70k in the previous years. As of Aug 31st: $99k in operating acct, $17.5k in Casino acct (which pays rent). The biggest changes in our financial status this year were: the donation drive earlier in the year, removing the executive director (at his own recommendation) in February, and closing the south shop in July. | *$48k surplus this year, compared to deficits of $98k and $70k in the previous years.

*Audits were done for 2022-23 and 2023-24 financial years-- the latter is not quite completed due to some delays, the audit committee got all the information from the treasurer last week. An audit commit with 10(!) volunteer members did a really good job. The audit of the 2022-23 financial year was favourable. They did recommend exploring options for inventory tracking. | *Audits were done for 2022-23 and 2023-24 financial years-- the latter is not quite completed due to some delays, the audit committee got all the information from the treasurer last week.

== Budget 2024-25 == | == Budget 2024-25 == | ||
** | *Highlights: small surplus. 20% cut in staffing costs. | ||
*Marcel: What I really appreciate about this budget is that we've started to project our finances month-to-month so that we understand how our accounts will look in 6 months from now. | |||
*Keith: These numbers are like reading the tea leaves, and it won't be all on the backs of staff. The biggest part will be the work volunteers and membership continue to do. | |||
===Questions=== | |||
*Question: What are our staffing costs now compared to last year? A: $15k, from $26k. Budgetted going forward: $12k. | |||
*Molly: Can you provide the math on the cost-effectiveness of bike building? A: We can provide the board's rough analysis. | |||
*Question: This has all been about running a bike shop. What about advocacy and outreach? A: Most of that work has been going on through volunteer efforts. We continue to try to talk to city counsellors to talk about the execution of a bike lane plan. And do have granted projects going forward. | |||
