*Limiting access
*Limiting access: too many in shop at once: dangerous and unproductive, volunteers can't help everyone.  AH: perhaps can't have bike in shop if don't have stand.  Operational.  Desk at front to say oh no stands……  Anyway, Ops so not our purview.
*Special Needs supports
 
*Price Increases
*Special Needs supports: increase in volunteers with special needs: how to encourage, accommodate without impinging on effectiveness of running shop etc. 
*
:AC: it's going to be case by case, probably, because of differences in individuals etc.  Have changes talked about by AC and Pals been implemented? 
:CC: no. 
:AC: a lot of changes would just be good to have anyway. eg clear system to have volunteers identifiable.  would benefit everyone.  These things discussed with Pals that are specific and would benefit everyone and should have been done a long time ago, should be implemented with some urgency.  But one of the special needs volunteers comes in with aide.  Trish wants for people to build relationships with Peter.  Meetings on weekly basis?  Difficult to accommodate.  Should Peter maybe have an aide to help him navigate? 
:CC: Alex meeting with PP once a week could be reasonable, both are there like every day. 
:AB: should we tell AH that current level of support is appropriate but when questions arise he request to consult with inclusion committee? 
:AC: do we need policy about degree to which issues are addresses by project(?) manager? 
:CC: if it doesn't look like we can handle it we can just say no. 
:AC & BB: not nice to have someone required to bring an aide. 
:AC: risk mgmt, liability?  We can cross those bridges when we come to them.
**Proposed changes are in the pipeline; it's a matter of getting all our stuff done, EBN etc.  Hence the usefulness of getting a host for EBS.  So, under control/in progress for now.
**Volunteer certification in works will reinforce training.
 
*Price Increases: possible need to do this on new parts.  Not a board thing!  So pass.
