* At the end of August, we received about $14,000 in expense statements, (primary parts orders from Babac). Should we claim that all in August or apply the expenses it over the course of the year. There are two reasons why this matters, 1) is it appropriate from an accounting standpoint 2) there may also be a question of optics to consider. Geoff is recommending we apply the expense to last year's expenses to be a true reflection of our books. | * At the end of August, we received about $14,000 in expense statements, (primary parts orders from Babac).

Our sales were higher than last year, even in August when we were closed for staff vacation. We do have a bike builder this year which might explain the increased in sales (more bikes to sell, better condition bikes to sell). | |||

Discussion of board evaluation results | |||
- | |||
Jasmine to post summary document here: | |||
Thoughts on next steps | |||
- go over a few items with lowest scores and work on those | |||
- come up with a training/development plan | |||
- good topic for next board retreat | |||
Discussion of board recruitment needs and succession planning | |||
Jasmine to post summary document here: | |||
Discussion of what additional recruiting we might need, who is coming back for sure, who might be interested in which positions | |||
===Item 3:[Board Training- Jeremy]=== | ===Item 3:[Board Training- Jeremy]=== | ||
Discussion of board training opportunity with Alberta Tourism Board Development | |||
1.5 days of board development available | |||
workshop free of charge | |||
pick a date | |||
75% of board attend | |||
provide information about organization, location, etc. | |||
free of charge | |||
need 6-8 weeks notice | |||
Dec 1 or 2nd, or into the new year | |||
Are we interested in this type of training? | |||
Nancy: good to keep them separate (annual board retreat), and think about this for Jan/Feb | |||
Chris: have taken this type of board development before. Good program, but quite high level - need to be clear about where board is at, and what we need | |||
Jeremy: we'd have to make sure it was of value to us - appropriate level / content | |||
Michael: could image it being to general | |||
Nancy: could take back to them the kinds of things we want to work on, and find out if they are able to do that | |||
Jeremy: get a sense of how valuable this would be | |||
Nancy: see if they can customize agenda | |||
Chris: they do (customize agenda) - it's a conversation (know people who work in this area), they want to provide things that are useful to board (not too generic) | |||
Jonathon: if we can customize agenda, could we condense it | |||
Chris: last time we did it, it was one evening | |||
Jeremy: could go into strategic planning instead (but this group doesn't do it) | |||
Jonathon: strategic planning help might be more appropriate | |||
Chris: could get a referral from them | |||
Nancy: budget item | |||
Jeremy: inquire into what level / items in training we need (customized, length of time), and where might we go for faclilitation of strategic planning | |||

Some of the details in the budget will change, subject to staff and board input, but the board should come to agreement on what level of budget deficit we are willing to proceed with. | Some of the details in the budget will change, subject to staff and board input, but the board should come to an agreement on what level of budget deficit we are willing to proceed with. | ||
