The other option is to return the funds. Alex feels a cycling skirt might have niche appeal, Coreen concerned the items have not been sampled & etc-- Sarah responds that its with the city now.

Keith has been working on building up bikes. Alex feels that in general if the board is going to working on operational stuff, it would be better to be running these things past staff earlier-- they may seem "Scroogish," but they do have a lot of experience in these things-- Sarah did circulate this to staff and board 1wk before submitting to City.
