*There was an idea to have a bike sale to clear out stock, but Coreen believes getting the space set up should be a priority, then we can go look at our built bike stock and consider a sale. Coreen somewhat prefers posting bikes online and seeing ppl 1-on-1 over sales as it's more organized, more convenient for people, fitting them adds value to the customer, and she generally raises the price as she looks a bike over. Alex wonders if volunteers could be involved in the posting online and the in-person selling, Coreen agrees, possibly. Jonathan feels that a big bike sale without an adequate supply of well-checked bikes would harm our reputation-- on the other hand, a well-tuned bike is very easy to sell. | *There was an idea to have a bike sale to clear out stock, but Coreen believes getting the space set up should be a priority, then we can go look at our built bike stock and consider a sale.

*Clear staff work portfolios - | *Clear staff work portfolios - Alex and the other managers agree they need clear areas of responsibility. Right now they're in the shop together a lot, to coordinate things-- in the longterm they'd rather not be overlapping so much. This is a goal for the shop managers to work on over the next 4-6 wks, and the board looks forward to that information as well. | ||
*Storage space organization - there's so much right now it's unusable. 50 bikes, ideally we'd store more there. | *Storage space organization - there's so much right now it's unusable. 50 bikes, ideally we'd store more there.

*Sarah asks if staff needs anything from the board right now? Coreen: no, just the recognition that this will take a lot of staff time. | *Sarah asks if staff needs anything from the board right now? Coreen: no, just the recognition that this will take a lot of staff time. | ||
