Board Minutes August 2012: Difference between revisions

Line 127: Line 127:
Discussed staffing options, what is needed (e.g. p/t winter f/t summer), what it would save us, what Chris needs, etc.  Chris wants someone new before Alex leaves; that leaves us with 3 weeks to post & hire.  We are not sure about the feasibility of that.  Chris wants certain things/skills from a potential BW coordinator.  He has a draft description in the works.

Six month reserve OK since 2 shops ∴ low interruption risk.  Still need to come up with a way not to have a 20 000$ shortfall for the AGM budget.  Maybe: Cutting hours to 20 over the winter + hopefully 8 000$ for McCauley(sp?) grant, maybe juice & cookies only at bike-building, board mtngs, AGM. Staff thing and food thing for sure - great!  That brings us to about an 8-9 000$ shortfall.  Hopefully we get an 8 000$ grant too!  Maybe we can spend less money on things like office supplies.  Chris Chan will perhaps solicit members for those things that everyone has too much of just lying around uselessly.
Six month reserve OK since 2 shops ∴ low interruption risk.  Still need to come up with a way not to have a $20 000 shortfall for the AGM budget.  Chosen methods: Cutting BikeWorks Director hours to 20 over the winter, planing for $8 000 for McCauley grant, reducing food provided at bike-building, board meetings, and AGM. These changes bring us to $8-9 000 shortfall.  Additionally, Chris Chan will solicit members for office supplies donations.
