MSC - Moved, Seconded and Carried. Resolutions are numbered R1-4

Meeting began at 18:44

1. Approval of minutes: Minutes of both Jul and Aug approved MSC R1
2. General Manager's report, review of floor & roof estimates: Approved R2
3. Financial report—
   Continued decline in income, in checking and savings-accounts. Now after summer maybe more shoppers. We need them.
   The higher the payroll, the sooner out of cash. Cash position decreases; we 'll become cash-strapped. And we attempt to develop our shop!
   And if the payroll is too low, there is no properly paying the basicly underpaid staff, holding on to good workers, and hiring new ones.
4. Approval of mural design
   Already by e-mail carried; later to be painted by Rob, under professional contract (from Anita?)
5. Update on POS system and online ordering: There are issues, Sean F deals with them.
6. Consolidation of email lists (Constant Contact, Westhost, CoPos)
   cannot merge lists, only harmonize them, and ascertain e-mail is received.
7. Outreach report ideas: we picket our own shop; get class for neighbors from Nick and Monica
8. Planning of Annual Meeting: Reported that Lucas co is in COVID-19 red zone, and staff has gotten it, but to UT seems not issue. Members are old, and more susceptible to it. Those who had it care not to spread it, and it is easier to get quorum. On-line meeting: MSC R4.
   Hope for change in board, and in officers: time for change.
9. Review of action items
10. Adjournment: Decided to meet on Nov 30 for both November and December.
    Adjourned.
