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

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.
