** The details of this motion are included in the President's report. The estimated date to complete the transition will be in the next 3-4 weeks. We will still retain 75% of Molly's time. EBC is still paying some liability insurance for the assets of YCR2. Chris will update our policy to reflect the current relationship between EBC and YCR2 (they will be removed from our insurance).

At the Executive Committee meeting, there was a discussion to close the shops during the middle two weeks (2nd and 3rd week) of August to catch up on our banked overtime obligations to our staff (and to give our volunteers a reprieve as well).
At the Executive Committee meeting, there was a discussion to close the shops during the middle two weeks (2nd and 3rd week) of August to catch up on our banked overtime obligations to our staff (and to give our volunteers a reprieve as well). Otherwise, the shops are only closed from Christmas Eve to New Years. This is a quick-fix solution, if and after, the shops are closed we can review the outcome and set this mandatory break into our annual calendar. A separate discussion is how did we accumulate this much overtime and how do we prevent this from happening in the future. A shop shut-down could also further the recognition and appreciation of our staff and volunteers. It is an opportunity to possibly raise funds and interest of new volunteers in a similar manner as CKUA, etc.

* Discussion notes:
Our succession planning needs to look at recruiting a new President. Jon is coming up to the end of his 4-year term. Although, he would likely stay on as a director. Jon's last day as President is December 31st, 2017.

Further to the Treasurer's report, this spreadsheet goes deeper in why/how we are in worse shape than last year.
It is possible that our lower revenues are due to limited stock in the shops, but largely, the deficit comes down to increased spending in the Fall. [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1s14EIGGQmn6kCuMuxvAg6qYfxUSo_rNOgrcjorcl4f0/edit#gid=0 spreadsheet]
