**Steve - Does it make more sense to hire a mechanic under EBC rather than have a third party mechanic?  How does this work with physical resources that are shared?  Space?  Liability issues?
** Coreen - Interestd party very valuable as mechanic.  Concerns with clarity of relationship between interested party and EBC, as well as affects that relationship would have on other volunteer relationships, relationships with other shops, how does it fit in with our mandate.  What are the boundaries with working time?  We need to respond to him soon.
** Leila - torn between separate business from EBC or whether to look at integrated EBC services.  Interested in hearing a proposal from interested party with further information.
** Chris - EBC has control over terms and conditions of contract such as space, inventory (eg: parts being sold). EBC not at risk for new business venture.  Suggest giving interested party information about what we'd like the relationship to look like.
