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 the forums. 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".

Celebrate Successes of DMS with a Gathering out of Doors (Nicole Franczvai)

Problem: We need to bond - and fly kites, drones, meet each others families, kiss some babies, eat some hotdogs, and most importantly enjoy and get to know each-other. I also believe we should take a moment of collective silence and appreciation for the member who was recently lost - Robert Johnson. Without moments to get to know each-other the more distance we will have between each member. Events like this will allow us to usher in the new energy of the board and appreciate the dedicated work of every member who pushes for the success of DMS.

Solution: Rent a pavilion at a Carrollton Park and have a big picnic (suggested dates - depends on when the parks are available) Allot $600-1000 to PR for this event

Extra info: I've prepared two breakdowns of cost one for a 100 person party and one for a 200 person party (see below link to excel file) 3hr rental: $150 ($100 refunded at end) Food (for 100): $463 Tablecloths: $15 (dollar store) Waterballons / hula hoops / games: $60 Here is the breakdown of costs (my estimate would like a second opinion):Estimate - Sam's Club

This event could be held later in the month or early June. After that it's a gamble with the weather (it's always a gamble with the weather).

How is the relevant to our tax exempt policy: The key to education is establishing a connection between teacher and student. This event is an attempt to create more connections.

Appoint New Procurement Officers (Nicole Franczvai)

Problem: Creative arts needs the ability to buy supplies quickly

Solution: Appoint Mark Reynolds and Devin Burnett as procurement officers for DMS. Mark will be the "main" procurement officer of CA per our discussion.

Appoint New Procurement Officer (Stan Simmons)

Problem: Automotive Committee will need the ability to buy tools and supplies

Solution: Appoint the incoming Automotive Chair, Tom Tansey, as a procurement officer for DMS.

Purchase additional RoboReels (Robert Davidson)

Problem: Do the the expansion of working space there is a need for safer power and air through out the facility.

Solution: Purchase 7 additional Roboreels at the cost of $1,610

Relevance: Roboreels allow safe power and air transfer. Roboreels have key safety systems such as the electrical will sense that the wire has been cut and will shut off the power, the air lines are designed so that you can't have blowback of air tools. The roboreels also go at a slow and safe speed returning to there reel so there are no concerns with damage to people and property.

Roboreels(Robert Davidson)Edited 6.23.17

Already approved and bought

Electrical Agreement (Robert Davidson)

Problem: Our electrical contract has expired.

Solution: I published on talk multiple solutions a solution needs to be ultimately selected from the list and signed.

Relevance: The DMS runs on power we want to get the best deal so that we can afford to do all the cool things we do at DMS.

Voting Rules Changes (Stan Simmons)

Problem: Our Voting Rules are inconsistent and need a few modifications for clarity.

Solution: Modify https://dallasmakerspace.org/wiki/Rules_and_Policies#Voting_Rights #2 from "A Supporting Member may submit an application to become a Regular Member only after 90 days of membership." to "A Supporting Member must have been a member for the immediate past 90 days to become a Regular Member. Exceptions will be considered on a case by case basis jointly by the Infrastructure and Finance Chairs."

Modify https://dallasmakerspace.org/wiki/Rules_and_Policies#Membership_Dues to change "3 months" to "immediate past 90 days" in each of the sections for Monthly Membership, Starving Hacker, and Yearly Membership.

Modify https://dallasmakerspace.org/wiki/Rules_and_Policies#Voting_Rights #3 to change "A member's application to change from Supporting Member to Regular Member must be submitted via email to [email protected] from the email address registered on their account. Rights will be effective upon receipt of the e-mail." to "A member's application to change from Supporting Member to Regular Member must be submitted via email to [email protected] from the email address registered on their account, or thru other electronic registration approved by the Board of Directors. Rights will be effective upon receipt of the e-mail or electronic registration."

Relevance: The current waiting period times of "90 days" and "3 months" are not internally consistent and has lead to confusion. Changing all existing instances to "immediate past 90 days" makes it internally consistent, and letting the Infrastructure and Finance Chairs consider exceptions allows for billing errors to be handled without penalizing members.

The current registration method requires manual processing by volunteers and is time consuming. An automated registration system requiring login or RFID authentication is being developed and will be presented to the Board of Directors for approval when it is ready.

New Business

Appoint President (Erik Smith)

Problem: Our bylaws require that we appoint a member to the office of President

Solution: Appoint a President

Appoint Secretary (Erik Smith)

Problem: Our bylaws require that we appoint a member to the office of Secretary

Solution: Appoint a Secretary

Member Complaint(s)

Consider Walter Anderson (B. Davis)

Problem: Prior matter with this member needs resolution.

Solution: Adopt appropriate resolution.

Create office of Treasurer (B.Davis)

Problem: The Dallas makerspace needs a leadership position to manage various work and activities related to Accounting and Finance, and to manage our bank accounts.

Solution: Create the Office of Treasurer, and recruit a suitable candidate to fill it.

Board Retreat (B. Davis)

Problem: Board needs to meet to discuss goals and initiatives for the coming year, and to hear concerns from DMS Leadership.

Solution: Select a date to hold a Board Retreat.

Consider changes to Board Meeting Schedule and Format (B. Davis)

Problem:Board meetings are taking too long, and consideration and discussion often suffers.

Solution:Change to twice-monthly meetings, consisting of a Work Session and a Regular Session. The first meeting will be for the presentation of all new business to be voted upon at the regular session. During the regular session, formal business will be conducted, including votes, disciplinary hearings, and other matters of due consideration. At the worksession, each new agenda item for consideration, must be presented by its sponsoring member, so that the Member may answer such questions as the Board deems necessary to consider the issue. The presiding President may open each matter for comments by members wishing to be heard. After comments are closed, the presiding President shall poll the Board to determine whether each item shall be placed on the consent agenda, sent to the table, of held for hearing at the Regular session. In order to be placed on the consent agenda, the vote must be unanimous, else the item is automatically held for hearing. At the regular session, the President shall open the floor to the membership, to speak on items items held for hearing. Items deemed an emergency by the President or the presiding President, may be heard and voted at any meeting in which a quorum is present.

Modify section 2.3 of the Standing Rules to reflect the need for transparency in our processes, and to protect the rights of both parties to be heard. (B. Davis)

Problem: Our process for dealing with Complaints allows various levels of secrecy, but it is the Board's desire that all proceedings of the Dallas Makerspace be transparent to the membership, and that the right to be heard by both parties should be respected.

Solution: Modify section 2.3 of the Standing rules, to wit:

Formal Complaints

The formal complaint process exists for members to request a hearing be held by the Board of Directors regarding specific actions of another member. Members are expected to discuss their complaints in a calm and polite manner. Mediation is available to resolve issues without the need of a formal complaint.
Formal complaints against another member must be submitted, in writing, to the Board of Directors or to any member of the Board of Directors.[5] The complaint must have two parts outlined at minimum, a "Complaint" part and a "Recommended Solution" part.
The Board of Directors may elect to hold a special meeting regarding the matter, or may consider it at the next Regular Board meeting.
The Board of Directors is not required to act in accordance to the grievance or complainant's "Recommended Solution" part and may devise its own remediation.
Complaints will be added to the agenda of the meeting in which the hearing is to be held. Both Parties shall be attendance at the meeting. The Board may, at its discretion, move the hearing forward to a new meeting.
Minutes for the meeting will not be scrubbed of identifying information.
Any disciplinary action for which one or more of the Board of Directors or officers of the corporation (acting in their role as an officer) are involved require that a written record of the action, reason(s) for the action, and acknowledgement of the accused be sent to the Board of Directors for keeping.

Meeting format change to reduce time used, and improve ability of members to be heard by the Board. Membership meetings to be run by the membership. (B. Davis)

Problem: Meetings take too long, and are often delayed by members speaking without being recognized, or engaging in back and forth dialog and arguments with other members, or the Board. This has resulted in many members being unwilling to sit through the overly lengthy meetings. In addition, the Membership meetings are currently overseen by the Board, where they should be run by the membership.

Solution: Adopt new meeting rules to control tempo of the meetings as below,

Modify Section 7 of the Standing Rules as follows:

Organizational Meetings

Board meetings will generally follow the MIBS SRC3 format, and will be held as often as needed as determined by the Board.
Board meetings will be posted on the Dallas Makerspace Events calendar.
For purchases over $200, the request must include a description of how this spending furthers the organization's Tax Exempt purpose (see Mission Statement), the amount requested, and an estimate of the annual maintenance costs for the purchase.
Regular membership meetings may be held at the Dallas Makerspace's main location, at such times as may be determined by vote of the membership.
1. Prior to the start of informal meeting, time will be set aside to clean the space.
Membership meetings must be posted on the Official Calendar at least 2 weeks prior to the meeting.
The Members present at a membership meeting shall determine by simple majority vote who shall preside over the membership meetings.
If no consensus can be reached, the committee chairpersons present will vote to determine the temporary meeting chair.
Members wishing to speak at Board meetings must be recognized by the President before speaking. Members speaking without receiving the floor, may be ejected from the meeting.
The Board shall determine the format of a Board meeting, and may vote to change the meeting format from time to time, as is deemed necessary.
The board of directors may not allocate more than 5% of the checking account balance on discretionary spending without a current financial status, accurate to within 7-10 days, from the financial committee or treasurer.

Appoint Committee Chairs (Erik Smith)

Solution: Appoint chairs for committees as listed:

Finance: Ken Purcell
Infrastructure: Stan Simmons
Logistics: Brandon Green
3D Fab: Erin Robertson
Digital Media: Alex Espinoza
Creative Arts: Devin Burnett

Robert Davidson
Nicole Franczvai (stepping down as Creative Arts chair)
Brandon Green
Alex Rhodes
Brooks Scharff (stepping down as Infrastructure chair)
Lisa Selk
Chuck Graf

Kobin Caddick
Mitch Cerroni (3D Vice Chair)
Stan Simmons (incoming Infrastructure Chair)
Lisa Selk (Infrastructure Vice Chair)
Nicole Franczvai (until Devin and Mark are approved) (written in by Nicole Franczvai)

Increase Jewelry Floorspace (Brandon)

Problem: Jewelry has been very active with classes and utilization of its area, but is incredibly cramped as they have a very small amount of floorspace allocated to them.

Solution: Decrease length of Vector area by 6 feet (removing 2 bays, leaving the 5 currently numbered bays), giving that floorspace to jewelry instead, where it will benefit a much larger number of members.

Logistics - Safe Destruction of Hazardous Waste (Robert Davidson)

Problem: The parts washer needs secure destruction of hazardous waste.

Solution: Green Planet quote requires material must be in a 55 gallon Poly Closed top drum. Your price would be $350.00 per 55 gallon drum of waste and $45.00 for the empty 55 gallon empty.

Relevance: The secure destruction of the the hazardous waste is a requirement and necessary for the operation of the Dallas Makerspace.

Task Chairs and Stools (Luke Olson)

Problem: Many of the task chairs and stools at the makerspace are either broken, missing, or soiled. This limits basic functionality of work spaces and classrooms.

Solution: Allocate $6,000 to the logistics committee to purchase task chairs and stools without cloth surfaces.

Relevance: Keeping work spaces and classrooms ready to use and clean are basics that need to be taken care of so higher level learning and collaboration can take place.

 - Andrew: The shelf has come and gone several times in DMS history
 - Paul: Brandon may have had the jurisdiction, but just because you can do a thing doesn’t make it right.
