The
HWFC Board of Directors met on Tuesday, June 2.
|
| Security |
| The Board approved a
request from the Collective Management Team that $5,300 be expended for
security cameras. Theft has continued to be a problem, and these
cameras can be used both in the current store and the new store after
the Co-op moves. |
| Sales |
| The Finance Committee
reported that sales remain strong and cash flow projections are good. |
| Food and Product Manual |
| The Nutrition Education
Committee will submit its draft of the Food and Product Manual to the
Board shortly. The membership should be able to vote on the manual at
an upcoming membership meeting. |
| Staffing |
| The temporary
administrative assistant has now been hired on a permanent basis. |
| Collective Management Team
Evaluation |
| A draft evaluation form has
been circulated to Board members for their comments. |
| Staff/Board Meeting |
| At the May meeting for
Board and Collective Management Team members, the recent vote against
expanding meat options was discussed. The issue may be revisited as a
referendum. |
| June Membership Meeting |
| There had been some
dissension over plans from the meeting. Representatives of the
Governance Review Council and the By-laws Panel were concerned that the
meeting notice had not including specific language changes made to a
proposed by-law. After consultation with the Co-op's general counsel
and securities counsel, it was decided to go ahead with the meeting and
the vote on the Building Blocks program. |
| By-laws |
| It was acknowledged that
the current by-laws are flawed and that an ad hoc committee should be
convened to resolve existing problems. The Board planned to make this
an agenda item with a fuller consideration at the next meeting. |
| Minutes |
| Minutes of all meetings are
available at the Co-op. Minutes of the most recent meeting are posted
on the bulletin board. They are also available on the Co-op's website,
as password protected files. See instructions on the Board Meetings page |
| Upcoming Meetings |
Currently, Board meetings
are held on the first Tuesday of each month at 5:45 pm in the Co-op's
Community Room. However, dates change on occasion so anyone planning to
attend a meeting should confirm date, time, and location.
