Anna's interim November report was distributed on Nov. 25.
The AB Cycle building is up in the air: mold removal is ongoing. The City of Edmonton still owns and manages it. It's about 8 months for the permit to be approved and could be another 8 months for the construction to take place. Moving in could be 8 to 16 months.
Motion: Duncan moves to name the future 118 Ave location "Bikeworks North". Seconded by Alex. Carried.
ACTION: Anna to speak with Kris Andreychuk about interim options to continue with the Spoke.
No newsletter distributed in the last three months. There should be one early in December. Some winter classes were cancelled due to lack of registration. The classes are usually advertised in the newsletter so many fewer people heard about them. As well, there was no advertising of the City of Edmonton budget discussions until Chris Chan emailed the day before the hearings.
Email: Chris Chan's email has been forwarded to the board. Since Chris is still involved in the organization, it would be better for him to receive emails and forward Board-specific emails to him.
ACTION: Anna to take the board off the Chris Chan forwarding.
ACTION: Duncan to ask Chris to email Board-specific emails to the Board.
ACTION: Neil to take old board members off EBC Board mailing list.
