* Discussion notes:
==== Admin committee ====
Jonathon and Alexey meeting with staff this week, discussing continuity while Jonathon on holidays
==== Finance committee ====
monthly checklist done, EFTs going, NOT done - managing payroll -> bookkeeper, need to start working on next year's budget soon
==== HR committee ====
OH&S arrange, steps in order, hazard assessments done; next coalating data and next steps, planned for August
Board eval - completed for AGM
Volunteer retention / appreciation - not started
Orientation manual - stalled
Adrian was considering working on working on hazard mitigation when shops were closed, but concerned staff would feel like they had to come in
Chris thinks - if input is sought from staff ahead of time, it wouldn't be a problem to have work done while the shops are closed
==== Education ====
Michael - Students didn't get involved at that level, don't have any extra committee work, interested in working in another area
Charitable status? Jonathon thinks the first thing to do is review and revise the objects of the society - perhaps pursue educational objects, and have these ready for the next board retreat. Michael will take the lead on drafting objects
==== Strategic Planning Committee ====
Jonathon - Had a meeting, but nothing concrete has been done since then

Comparison

Michael: should we have a bike building blitz while the shops are closed
we are providing a service at cost, but we aren't reaching out to who is using the shop to contribute,
Chris: thinks this is a discussion that should be taken with Coreen
Geoff should set something up for discussions on how to increase revenues, with board members that want to contribute and appropriate staff
Chris: Is bike building position making sense financially? More than breaking even, and we would count breaking even.
Getting more bikes out there, and generating more revenue than if this was just done by volunteers, PLUS getting more volunteer training.
This is the same model as last year.
Feedback from bike building volunteers is that they are learning a lot, feel that the are making valuable contributions, and building community. This invests in our volunteers.
=== New Business Item 2: Board Member Summer Vacations (All 15 min)===
* With key board members away at various times during the summer, let's make sure none of the board responsibilities are in jeopardy of being overlooked or unnecessarily delayed:

=== Bike Works North - renovations, potential budget issues (Chris 15 min)===
===New Business Item 3: [OHS Update] (Adrian 10 min)===
* Discussion notes:
*
 
Received a large donation of fixtures, hardware, etc. from MEC (as they've moved) - almost everything we'd need to do a major renovation of bikeworks north. We are now storing a lot of materials, and we'd like to set them up soon.
 
Looking at early September to do the work, maybe some of it before then.
Perhaps pay an honorarium so we can have a fixed timeframe for doing the work.
 
May need to consider a budget envelope around $5000 for the work.
 
Q: What is our ROI? more bike repair stands space for, better display space
 
Very different experience BWN vs S - distinct entrance, retail type entrance
Have a more welcoming space/entrance
More enjoyable space to be at
Make tools/parts more accessible
Solve some OH&S issues
Store over 90 bicycles in a 10/34' stretch
better display / merchandising - get better prices, less strinkage
