EBBC 1/20/09 – Board Meeting – Draft Minutes
San Leandro Library, begin 7:15
Board members present – Leo Dubose, Dave Favello (chairing), Steve Ardrey, Mary Norton, Bill Pinkham, Tom Ayres, Craig Hegelin, Rick Rickard; also Robert Raburn
Others include: Ricardo Pedavilla, Derek Liecty, Ian McDonald, Hal Keenan, Dick Anderson
Bike shop display stands – Derek requests additional funds for stands – APPROVED
He needs people to volunteer to keep track of the stands in the future, to be sure they are well stocked with brochures – bike shop ambassadors.
Bike to work day budget – Robert reports we need additional income beyond what is already committed. We are in good shape for this time of the year. Needs approval now for $4,750 (for paying Dave Campbell as coordinator, plus some costs such as printing). Rick indicates there is no cash-flow problem to fund this. Motion for these funds: APPROVED.
Consideration of paid staff – Rick met with Dave C. to evaluate whether this may be possible from a financial standpoint. Reasonable assumptions lead to an estimate net gain for 2009 that, together with possible contribution by BFBC, could support at least a part-time staff hire. This is presented for further discussion at the annual retreat.
