*Recommends to incentivize more volunteering that we use the tip money collected ($170) to subsidise lunches for volunteers and some other incidentals.
*Here is a short report from Marcel, Rainier and I concerning the 2025 Bike Edmonton bike valet at Old Strathcona farmers market.
*(attach report on Bike valet program)
 
1. Graph of usage per week compared to 2024.
PastedGraphic-1.png
Note that weather heavily influences demand. Week 1 (14 June) and Week 6 (July 19) were rainy days.
 
2. Tips
We currently have approximately $160 in cash tips collected from users.
 
3. Improvements we have implemented:
1. Process improvements to contact volunteers and keep records of shifts
2. Updated tagging procedure
3. Improved permeter fence with Flex bollards
 
4. Future Improvements (currently in planning)
1. Overhaul the tagging system
2. Invest in a better perimeter fence
3. Detailled analysis of usage to secure funding from the City as part of a Parking Benefit District
 
5. Correspondence:
I wrote to the Old Strathcona Public Realm Strategy on July 4 indicating Bike Edmonton has in-house expertise that could assist with analysing the merits of a parking benefit district.
 
I received the following response on July 10:
"Thanks for the email and your interest in the Old Strathcona Public Realm Strategy. Bike Edmonton is an important partner supporting cycling and active modes in the city!"
 
Thanks for your questions regarding the April motion from Council. Our Mobility Strategies section within our Urban Planning & Economy department, which includes transportation planners and engineers, is working on the motion and related analysis. I've included my colleague Jordan Reimer on the cc who is involved and can provide more info on the scope and timelines."
 
I can provide verbal commentary as to role the Old Strathcona farmers market and Business association have played thus far. 
 
We are still in need for more volunteers for our Saturday shifts. Sign up here

*City Nerd event went well.
*We signed on to be a Tap Root election partner, giving us access to some survey responses as the elections nears.

   |motion= To dedicate tip money received at the OSFM bike valet to subsidising volunteer lunches and some other incidentals like improving fencing; also to purchase a new square terminal; and to tell OSFM that we can't do Sundays at this time unless they pay us.
   |motion= 1. That Marcel, Reinier and Karl are authorised by the Board to manage and distribute tip money in this order: To subsidise volunteer meals up to $10 per shift; To use it for petty cash, including perimeter fence upgrades, consumables; To give Mike the bike mechanic at least one third of tips collected whenever he attends and provides minor tune ups
 
2.  That staff are authorised to purchase either a Square EFT device (approximately $118 for a Square Reader or $400 for a Square Terminal) that can be used to collect EFT tips.

* AGM will be Sunday, October 26th. Wanted to find something closer to the shop, but will probably just book Strathcona Community League again. Board retreat will be 2-3 wks later. Will need more helpers than last time to greet and check memberships. Would also like some kind of engagement for people who are waiting for the meeting to start? It was suggested there could be paper up for brainstorming or dot-ocracy type exercise-- agreement. There was a suggestion for the board retreat to be somewhere outside the city-- generally this was thought to be too taxing a commitment.
