1. Call to Order. There were present John Starr, Sam Rodriguez, Shawn Stein, Tammy Brandner, and Abby Youngs; later Halász Sándor.

2. Approval of Last Meeting’s Minutes. Minutes from November meeting approved

3. Update on GM Board Evaluation

* Update on GM-BoD evaluation will have to move to January.

* What are we going to do about a raise once evaluated.

* Discuss further by e-mail & know by the first week of JAN.

4. General Manager’s Report

* Discuss PoS: cheapest is 14,000 recommended one to allow for growth

* All except one coöp has a PoS System.

* We need PoS before moving locations.

* Dessert sampling was successful.

* Coöp had 2500.00 Day Average. Cost very low. Will continue each month on Owner Day.

* SWAG

* New Store sign

* Daily Avg for Nov was 1530.-.

* Abby s laptop was stolen from under the counter.

* Discussed new laptop and Desktop and budget about $500.00 total. SR moves to afford a replacement for laptop, with lock, under $600; HS seconds, passed.

* There is now a volunteer coördinator, Linda Rodela: how to make good use of her?

* There are yet cockroaches in the shop, although not many. SS worries about spray s scattering & spreading, and traps and bait and other methods are mentioned, but AY says other organic coöps do the same.

* SS asks about pantry moths, but (AY) they often come in; the best is to chill in freezer, killing the eggs and larvæ, but there is for that too little freezer space.

5. NCGA Proposal

* In four paiments the coöp pays $2550 for a $5550 program, CB101. It is held in Mt Pleasant (Mi). There comes with this 15h consulting.

* SR moves, TB seconds, to participate in CBLD; passed.

6. Update on Robert Jackson Loan Pay Down

* For moving to pay this off really is needful. Doubtless then a new loan will be needed. Maybe the lawyers Veronica Murphy and Eric Britton will be helpful in writing up a new loan. Maybe the other coöps will help with 36–48-month loan. Interest rates now are low.

* JS wishes anew to found finance committee, inviting 2, and to rewrite the loan, from $31,000 to maybe $25,000.

7. Review of Annual Meeting

* (SR) Although he has not shown up at a meeting, Sam Melden is yet interested, has ideas to get customers, to spread the word. (JS) We need a marketer.

* HS asks about the yearly-meeting minutes: with a year between meetings, to get minute-approval is hard. (JS) Maybe in CB101 that is addressed.

8. Election of Board Officers for 2011

* SR is elected president, JS treasurer, and HS secretary.

9. Other Business

* Through Leah Foley there is a computer to replace the coöp s. TB has Tornado, for copying files. (JS) Quickbooks Pro is supported for only three years at a time: it is time for a new version.

* (HS) It would be good if membership information were on the membership webpage. It is decided that through e-mail all of the board will have a hand in it.

10.  Agenda Items for Next Board Meeting

* Evaluation. SR lacks TB s and JK s evaluations.
SS and TB speak of a gap between vision & accomplishment
A punch clock, or (SS) timesheets, would be good, showing howmany hours the staff works,

11.  Adjournment
