Financial Statement
Member Recognition and Complaints
Member recognition (above and beyond) and member complaints will be considered before other business. This will allow members that are interested or involved with either to leave without having to sit thru the entire meeting.
Old Business
Items TABLED at the previous Board Meeting shall be placed as Old Business agenda items. Any item tabled more than once for lack of satisfactory forward motion by its sponsors or proponents is a candidate for dismissal.
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 all agenda items is 48 hours prior to the meeting.
Please note, agenda items (Consent, New, or Old) that request spending $200 or more must include a section on "Relevance to our tax exempt purpose".
A capital equipment form (listed at the bottom of the Finance forms list) is required for all equipment purchase or lease exceeding $1000 for which funds are requested from the Board in part or total, at least two weeks in advance of the board meeting.

New Business
Agenda items should be placed in New Business if there is any expectation of discussion by the Board or others in attendance during the meeting.
Streaming Cart Hardware and Software additions (Paul Wilson)
Problem: The streaming cart is working well, but has limitations due to the initial minimal startup purchases. It is usable in the current form, but would benefit greatly from the expanded options provided by the additional purchases.
Solution: I suggest we add the following hardware and software items to the cart
- Universal Phone Tripod Mount Adapter $10 (x2) $20
- 11'' Magic Arm with 2Pack Super Clamp Crab Clamp $30 (x2) $60
- Logitech Pro Stream Webcam $65 (x2) $130
- Humble Software Bundle: Design Expression Powerhouse ~$10 (x2) ~$20 (Painter not needed, just the MultiCam Capture XL)
- FIFINE USB Wireless Microphone System $50 (x1) $50
(Detailed explanation on choices here: https://talk.dallasmakerspace.org/t/streaming-cart-additions-bod-agenda-item/78567 )
Relevance: Expanding the capabilities of the cart for more options and improved output.
Approve Selling of 3D Fab Form 2 3D Printers (Mitch Cerroni)
Problem: 3D fab has voted to sell both FormLabs Form 2 3D printers and remaining resin/tanks on eBay and/or Facebook Marketplace. The resin printers have been replaced with newer technology of the Elagoo Mars Pro.
Solution: As per the Rules and Policies#Disposition of Assets we need to approve the sale of these printers which should sell for over $1000.
Relevance:Retaining funds for 3D Fab and updating technology for our mission of education.
