Consent Agenda

Any Board Member may make a motion in the Consent Agenda.  The purpose of the Consent Agenda is to propose motions that have been discussed by Board Members in advance and/or are expected to pass without objection.  If the item does not fit this description, it should be proposed in New Business. Discussion of Consent Agenda items should be done via Slack prior to the meeting.  Any Board Member present at the meeting may request that an item be moved from the Consent Agenda to New Business.  The motions in the Consent Agenda (after any items are moved to New Business) may be passed as a group if there are no objections.   Any motion that requests spending $250 or more must include a section on "Relevance to our tax exempt purpose".

CA1: Approval of funds to complete Ceramics buildout (C. Adam "Squirrl" McClintock)

Issue:  Bo Wernick has donated roughly $450 in materials and equipment for the Ceramics Shop buildout. He would like the remaining funds to complete the shop to be covered by Makersmiths. The Ceramics Shop at MSP is nearly complete but needs a little funding to get over the finish line.

Solution: Provide a budget of $200 for the buildout of the Ceramics Shop at MSP

Relevance to Tax Exempt Status:  None

Motion:  Move to approve $200 in funds for the completion of the Ceramics Shop buildout.

CA2: Renew Adobe Suite Licenses (Scott Silvers)

Issue:  Our Adobe Creative Suite license expires at the end of the month.  I've asked our new contact to give me an updated quote.  I was also asked to get a quote for an addition license for one of the Leesburg Main Room computers, since the classroom computer isn't always available.   I haven't received them official quote back yet.  Based on the quote we got back in November to reactivate our license it should be ~$330 per license, so ~ $660 for two.  

Solution:  Establish a not to exceed budget of $700 to purchase the licenses once the quote is received.

Relevance to Tax Exempt Status:  None

Motion:  Move to create an IT budget line with $700 to be used in 2023 for the purchase of two Adobe Creative Suite licenses.  

Vote: Consent Agenda motions approved by voice vote

NB1: Sale of the Clay Pugger (C. Adam "Squirrl" McClintock)

Issue: The clay pugger at the MSP Ceramics Shop is not useful to the shop. It’s valuation at this time is likely between $500 and $2000.  If it were to sell for over $1000 this requires board approval.

Solution: Sell the clay pugger.

Relevance to Tax Exempt Status:  None

Motion:  Move to allow Bo Wernick (Ceramics Steward) sell the clay pugger with funds to be allotted towards the purchase of up to 3 additional potters wheels.

Motion to Amend:  Move to allow Bo Wernick (Ceramics Steward) to sell the clay pugger.

Vote: Motion does not carry.
