* Discussion notes: On WRR, we were funded for the full amount we asked for. $20k for bike repair tools and supplies to go out to the participating (maximum 5) community leagues. $16k for program oversight, including 400h of program coordinator work. Outreach work would have to start now, most work would start in July through next spring, with reporting finished in May. Possibly a renewable project. No staff member to lead this has emerged-- Coreen feels the shop managers won't have capacity-- there will still be a lot of figuring-out the transition to a single shop even in July after the move. Luckily the grant is written such that a separate program coordinator can be recruited. Jonathan has connections that may be helpful in recruiting community leagues. Heather mentions that part of the framing of the proposal was in terms of communities with lower incomes and more new Canadians. | * Discussion notes: On WRR, we were funded for the full amount we asked for. $20k for bike repair tools and supplies to go out to the participating (maximum 5) community leagues. $16k for program oversight, including 400h of program coordinator work.

We'd have to rent the space from CoE $28/h (which is ironic because the market gets the car parking for free); OSBA would give us $500-1000k, which might not go far. Marcel's apartment building is adjacent and would offer some storage space for free (packs down to 8' tubes). The idea for valet parking came from the market-- apparently they've had feedback that this is wanted. Won't be subsidized out of BE's $s-- some more funding would have to emerge. It could be an opportunity to maintain our profile on the south side, maybe promote Bike Index. Could ask for donations, sell memberships. Would require at least 4 volunteers-- might be good to identify those ppl before planning to go forward (Marcel might do so in the next few wks)-- important that we're not poaching volunteers from the shop. There is a precedent that those ppl get an honorarium (there was funding for that downtown last year). Sarah thinks it's a great idea and would come to help out some of those Saturdays. | ||
