By the decision of the representatives (Meeting of the Council 6/2023, §101) Market Trikoo’s operation will be abolished in accordance with the proposal of TCR-Palvelut Oy as a trade down. The costs arising from the cessation of operations will be paid by the owners in accordance with the ownership relations.
According to the preliminary estimate of the board members of TCR-Palvelut Oy, the costs to be paid are approx. €160,000. Tamko’s capital, according to the ownership ratio, is €81,600. To pay this expense, some of Tamko’s investments must be withdrawn.
If, in connection with the abolition of operations, costs can be covered with sales revenue more than estimated, the surplus is paid back to the owners.
With the decision of the board of representatives, the necessary €81,600 will be withdrawn from Tamko’s investments by consulting an investment advisor, and TCR-Palvelut Oy will be capitalized with that amount.
127§ New overall badges for the Council elections
The visual appearance of the new voting overalls badges for the Council elections has been decided. The overall badge is continuous, i.e. when voting, the student gets more different badges the more often he votes in representative council elections during years of study. Overall badges are ordered so that they can be distributed during voting time. This year, all voters will receive a blue Newbie overall badge, even if they have also voted in previous years. The purpose is to completely give up the old Vaikutin-overall badge, so they will also be distributed to all willing voters. It was decided to order such quantities of new coverall badges that there would be enough of them for exhibition pieces, as well as to be distributed in the coming years.
