Consent Agenda

Newly proposed agenda items appear in the consent agenda. Any member present at the meeting may pull an item out of the consent agenda for discussion, at which point it goes under "New Business". If nobody objects to the solutions presented by the consent agenda, everything in the consent agenda passes by consensus. Items that have more than one proposed solution should be moved to the "New Business" section.

Any member may edit this wiki page and place an item on the agenda. However, discussion of agenda items should be done via Slack. The cut-off time for addition to or revision of the consent agenda items is 48 hours prior to the meeting. Please note, agenda items (Consent, New, or Old) that request spending $250 or more must include a section on "Relevance to our tax exempt purpose".

CA2 Blacksmith Shop build out (Casey “Squirrl” McClintock)

Problem: The organization needs new equipment to further its mission but capital to purchase these resources is not always available.

Solution: I am willing to fund the build out of the blacksmithing shop in it's entirety with a budget to be determined by myself.  In order to repay me for the build out all revenues in any form generated by the shop would be remitted to me until full repayment has been made.  All equipment and improvements purchased for the shop will transfer ownership to Makersmiths once reimbursement has been made. All class funds would be run through Makersmiths

Relevance to our tax exempt status: None

Motion: Makersmiths agrees to reimburse Casey “Squirrl” McClintock for the buildout of a blacksmith shop in Purcellville via all revenues generated from the blacksmith shop.  All improvements and equipment will be owned by Makersmiths after this reimbursement.
