As a follow up to the great work that our VISTA\u2019s have done, here are my thoughts on the next step of direction in the Coffee Cart Enterprise. I think we all realize that this will not be a large money making project, if at all. But rather, it will serve as a means to involve kids in a workplace experience, and give FYA another face in the public eye.<\/p>\n
While I strongly support the concept, I have concerns about FYA overextending our resources. It is critical, especially given the condition of Alaska\u2019s economy, that we as a board make responsible fiscal choices. In light of this, I think the next step in moving forward is to request from Julie a thorough budget proposal. This will inform us about the products and employee resource expenses and demands necessary for this project (especially the personnel, oversight, and staffing). With that in hand, we can decide if the resources are available to bring this concept to fruition. This could include possible partnerships with ALPA, other grants, or donations earmarked for this project.<\/p>\n
I personally favor a low overhead entry into this venture, (both from a human resource and financial perspective) at least initially. A cold press or simple brew coffee would simplify things considerably. I also want to make sure that our ED is not absorbed into this project or its demands. It needs to be resource sustainable without her. Please share your thoughts and when we come to a unified place, we can further advise Julie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
