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.   The cut-off time for addition to or revision of a Consent Agenda motion is 48 hours prior to the meeting. Any motion that requests spending $250 or more must include a section on "Relevance to our tax exempt purpose".

Issue:   There is no Room Steward for the Blast/Paint/Powdercoating Room.

Solution:  Scott Newman has been the Blast Cabinet Steward since October 2021 and has performed well in that role.

Relevance to Tax Exempt Status:  None

Motion:  Move to appoint Scott Newman as  the Blast/Paint/Powdercoating Room Steward.

NB1: Cisco Grant Application (Beverly Murdock)

Issue:  Scott Silvers has identified an opportunity to apply for a grant from Cisco. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/about/csr/community/nonprofits/product-grant-program.html.  The goal is to request 2 firewalls, multiple switches and wireless access points to improve our intranet with the goal of having secure connectivity between Leesburg and Purcellville so all of our network services are available at both sites.  This will included shared network drives (currently on the QNAP at MS-L, not available at MS-P), remote access to select connected devices (3d printers, for example), centralized management of our IT assets (making sure all of our computers are up to date and have all the necessary software), etc.  

The application may not yet be ready for Board review/approval so this will at least be an opportunity to discuss the grant and only move forward with a motion if the application is sufficiently far along.

Solution:  Proceed with grant application development.  

Relevance to Tax Exempt Status:  None

Motion:  Move to approve a grant application to Cisco for intranet equipment in line with the application as shared with the Board at the meeting.
