**Stephen: How are board members feeling? | **Stephen: How are board members feeling? | ||
**Keith: I feel like we need to give Greg and the staff direction. Even if it's only some decisions. | **Keith: I feel like we need to give Greg and the staff direction. Even if it's only some decisions. | ||
**Alexandra: I feel as though we should vote on a budget tonight. | |||
**Greg: I should not be present for deliberation. I want to state again that I prefer to first proposed budget. My contract states that I require two months notice for a change in my contract. | |||
**Marcel: I agree with Alexandra. I don't know how much more we would learn by having another Finance committee. Do you think we would learn more things? | |||
**Greg: I am not sure the result would be significantly different. But Nazz did raise a good point about the Orange Hub. I don't believe the alternate scenario budget is going to get us where we are going to go, however. | |||
**Marcel: One more question about the Orange Hub: I think it's fair to say that if we would have reduced revenue if we move the South Side shop. We need to spend a few years building a customer base. That does not put us in a good footing in the short to medium term. | |||
**Greg: I agree. I think the best way to utilize the Orange Hub is to take it on as a third space. | |||
**Nazz: Walk me through a hypothetical: what happens if we get notice to move from the South Side shop tomorrow? | |||
**Greg: I can't barely answer that off the top of my head. The biggest challenge is where we would put the stuff. We would SWAMP the north side shop. | |||
**Coreen: Yeah, that sceneraio would be a huge mess. I don't know how likely it is that we will be asked to move though. We have had one person look at the shop. | |||
**Stephen: We should note in the minutes that stabilizing the South Side shop is a major priority if we choose the budget that keeps it. | |||
**Coreen: That would be helpful, so that I can communicate with regulars and begin volunteer training. | |||
