+-----------------------------
 We should discuss and vote on the document storage policy. Should this be a separate agenda item or part of the policy committee report. Should we just assume from now on that Policy committee report is the time to vote on policy (or, again, should it be an ongoing separate agenda item?)
 I think its fine here as long as we all have a copy ahead of time
 don't meetings start at 6:30? is this one an anomaly or is this the usual time?
 Keegan can't make 6:30 meetings because of work, and he's chairing the volunteering committee meeting.
 In the future I will be able to make 6:30 meeting times so we can look to moving that ahead. January 7th? I thought December.
 Does anyone have any agenda items?

 Meeting with Natalie St-Denis (article for Alberta View): December 8.
 From Michael:
- Maybe we could take her to some special locations and show mayor

- I would say get her in touch with Aldo- (the business man who spoke at the cycle hearing) he is an excellent example of someone who rides and isn't a 'radical'. Every edmontonian could be a little more like him.

 Coreen and Leila are seeking a single honorarium of $15 per hour * 5 hours to be split amongst them any time they are opening the shop
 Oy. This is getting into the realm of paying our volunteers to volunteer. If we head down this way, I think that we'll quickly start running out of volunteer mechanics (why volunteer, when you can be paid to do the same work?). And running only on paid mechanics is what we did back in the days with Jason; it wasn't healthy for the shop to rely only on paid staff.
- I appreciate the work and dedication Coreen and Leila have been putting in to keep the shop open, and sacking your weekends for the shop especially, but I'd probably sooner that they scale back if it's too much for the two of them, rather than hire them to work Sundays.

 Your summary is accurate. They feel that they should be paid as there is now a paid mechanic on all other shifts. I'd appreciate it if you phoned her and spoke with her.
