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".

NB1 Description (Submitter's @name)

Problem: Working on Automobiles - should this be allowed?

Solution:  Determination by the board.  I don't think any of us generally have a problem with someone driving their car to the space, especially PV, and doing simple maintenance work - changing a belt or spark plugs, shocks, and other small maintenance items that can be completed in a few hours.  Do we want to allow vehicles to be left on site, and if so, for what period?  How much tear-down and repair is appropriate?  How do we feel about kit car construction and other multi month projects.  Do we have concerns about donor vehicles that may remain on-site in various states of being parted out?

Relevance to our tax exempt status: None

Proposed Motion: Auto repair is not appropriate at Makersmiths, OR, Auto repair is allowed at Makersmiths if the project can be completed withing an 8 hour window (or some other time frame), OR, Major automobile construction and repair is allowed at Makersmiths (i.e failure of one of the above motions).  (Any motion allowing work to be subject to the 'no damage' rule which would also apply to disposal of fluids.)

NB2 Description (Submitter's @name)

Problem: Flowers

Solution:  Our lease prohibits raising or agricultural products for consumption at our MS-P site.  We have had a couple of requests from members to have flowers, or flowers in containers at MS-L and/or MS-P.  Flowers can certainly brighten up a property, but weeds and dead flowers can be an eyesore.

Relevance to our tax exempt status: None

Proposed Motion:  In ground or Container Flowers are permitted at MS-L and MS-P provided that the planter maintain the plants and remove/prune as necessary during seasonal or plant dormant periods assuring a well ordered appearance.
