[cgfc] Board minutes, 7/23

[Tanya Lee]

CGFC Board Meeting
Wednesday, July 23, 2003, 6:15-7:45pm , Conference Room

Present: Eric Menzel (facilitating), Karina Lepeley, Tim Gibbs, Tanya 
Lee (taking minutes for the last time), Mike Ullman

Announcements
1. Outreach Coordinator and Asst. Store Operations Coordinator hiring 
process well underway; 7 people will have been interviewed by this 
Friday.  Decision will be announced Mon., July 28.

2. Board Elections-no applications in yet, but board members have 
spoken to several people about running and received generally 
positive responses.

3. IDF Open House will be Sept. 13 at 2:00 pm.  CGFC will provide a 
cake and some music to celebrate our anniversary.  IDF is willing to 
help out with our birthday bash. 
	There is some interest in connecting the Latino community 
with CGFC; a Latino family group meets at IDF; possibility of 
organizing an after-hours tour of the store, with Karina translating.

4. Board Officers-Karina is now president; Eric is now secretary. 
(Bob has left town; this is Tanya's last meeting.)

Vision Survey
Question #1, per Jill's recommendation, should be answered by ranking 
choices in order of importance.  May not be possible for online 
version; if it isn't then on both versions, pick the one most 
important response.

Responsibilities were delegated for disseminating online and paper 
versions by next Wed. 

Bylaws
Board may hold special meeting to discuss bylaws (a board-type 
meeting, rather than a special GMM).  Tanya agrees to attend this 
meeting.

Tanya recommends heavily disseminating proposed bylaws when complete 
amongst the membership well in advance of October GMM to give people 
time to consider them.

Mike is concerned that coordinators will prefer to modify existing 
bylaws rather than start with all-new format.  It is pointed out that 
we started out with that preference, too.  Tanya feels that existing 
bylaws are not legally consistent and even incoherent as a document.
Karina will give membership a substantive (though brief) update on 
our bylaws work at next Wednesday's meeting. 

GMM Planning
Agenda:
	1. Hiring announcement (Jill?)
	2. Budget update, though budget will not be ready (Lisa)
	3. Board update:
		a. New officers, bylaws (Karina)
		b. Elections (facilitator) -by ballot, with time 
allotted for discussion, counted according to item II.5 of bylaws.
	4. IDF
		a. Janna introduces self
		b. IDF Open House (Karina)
	5. CGFC Bash (Jill or other coordinator)
	6. Vision survey (Eric)

Reponsibilities for GMM organization were delegated. 

Meat proposal
Eric presented a proposal that the board explore the possibility of 
CGFC selling local, organically grown meat.  Full text of proposal 
and rationale available in Board binder in store. 

Board agreed that Eric should begin investigations.  He will send a 
similar proposal to coordinators and draft a survey for membership.

Next Meeting
Tentatively scheduled for Wed., Aug. 6 at 6:15 pm.  Tim may have a 
recurring conflict, however, and we hope to have new board members by 
then as well, so time is likely to change.
