• 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

New Business

New Business Item 1: Financial situation in detail (Geoff 30 min)

Notes:

Comparison

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1658Qvi3gZFW31zsuAabdRRQfOgASdxzeCbDFOIndchE/edit#gid=1154369721

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:
  • Issuing Cheques
  • Issuing EFT files
  • Depositing cash from BWS and BWN safes
  • Picking up, opening and distributing to the responsible party Canada Post mail,
  • Administrative committee support

Jon: July and August, back for a few days at end of July

Jon will still do deposits
Jon to show Geoff how to issue EFT
Picking up mail, every 2 weeks -> Chris will do this
Chris->Aug 19-27
Alexey will lead administrative committee while Jonathon is away

Geoff: June 23-July 21

double check on rent cheques before departure
Check books to Nancy before departure
Derek only other signing officer July 6-21st (need to confirm Derek is around)

Nancy: away 1st week of August

New Business Item 3: Staff and Finance To Dos (transition of YCR2 dated June 1st (Geoff 30 min)

• Discussion notes:

What changes do we need to make to bank accounts, and staff hours/pay

Goodwill still working on the final agreement, reset transition date to July 1st

Molly's time

Molly reduced hours to 44, reconciling April hours, in June will be 10 hours/week
discussions of YCR2 covering  some of the bank time owed to Molly

Bank Account

YCR2 has a dormant account, with no funds in it. The will reactivate the account. For the moment, keep using accounts as before.
They may keep the YCR2 account open, and leave sufficient funds there to cover off Molly's for some period of time.
WHen moving to Goodwill, Janine and others will have to requesition cheques.

As of July 1st, we shouldn't be claiming assets or liabilities on our financial statements.

Goodwill keen on getting training for staff, so they can fix their own bikes or get training to be able to improve

Goodwill: Get guidance from us on how to set up a shop, get some training for their staff EBC gets access to the impact center - we can schedule our events there (big bike sale, function, etc.)

No financial arrangements between EBC and Goodwill - YCR2 becoming a program of Goodwill.

Jonathon will ask Janine what they are looking for financially on July 1st.
