President's Report - Jon
- President/Administrative Committee Report Summer 2017
- We agreed that for our purposes that Molly would end all activities with YCR2 by Sept. 31st if not sooner.
Jon has been going through the financials, there were some deposits that needed to be reviewed and Molly had some outstanding hours. The funds will be reconciled. The report from the staff regarding the ED transition between Molly and Chris is that it is going smoothly and Molly is enjoying what she is doing.
Treasurer's Report - Geoff

- 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.
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).
