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 7 days prior to the meeting. Any motion that requests spending $250 or more must include a section on "Relevance to our tax exempt purpose".

NB1: Purcellville Lower Building Classroom Improvement (Beverly Murdock)

Issue:  The lower Building at Purcellville is exclusively used by one of the corporate members for storage and meeting space. During the pandemic this was not an issue but with more classes and events Makersmiths needs more areas to meet. 

Solution:  Invest in lockable cabinets that the corporate members can use and open the space for use by all members. 

Relevance to Tax Exempt Status:  None

Supporting Information:

Motions:

NB1A:  Move to appoint John Dubelko as room steward for the Purcellville lower building classroom. 
NB1B:  Moves to authorize expenditures for the purpose of improving the lower building classroom and enabling shared usage between corporate members and classroom activities including lockable storage of an amount not to exceed $2,750.

NB2: Compensation for Facility Entry (Jonathan White)

Issue:  There has been confusion with regard to the permissibility of monetary compensation for entry into Makersmiths facilities by outside guests.   Current language in the Bylaws reads: "Permission to bring up to two (2) Guests who shall remain under the control of the Member. Each Guest is required to have a signed waiver on file. The Member accepts full responsibility for their Guests’ actions."

Solution:  Add language to the standing rules to clarify the rules.

Relevance to Tax Exempt Status:  None

Motion:  Move to add the following text to section 6.3.1.4 of the Bylaws which currently states:  "Members may not directly charge or receive compensation for non-Members to enter Makersmiths facilities, with the exception of approved courses, classes, workshops or events." 
Members may not directly charge or receive compensation for non-Members to enter Makersmiths facilities, with the exception of approved courses, classes, workshops or events.
