Agenda

New business

• We need to have a discussion about classes, honorariums and scheduling on the calendar. (Bill Gee)
  • The honorarium auditors have been discussing creating formal guidelines for what criteria will qualify a class for honorarium. These items include whether only "makery" classes bill qualify, what constitutes a "makery" class and how detailed the class description should be.
  • The board of directors are considering some changes to the honorarium rules such as the minimum number of students, the minimum duration of classes and how frequently recurring classes should be scheduled.

• Quick discussion on Project Storage Rules. (Luke Strickland)
  • I'd like to explore the possibility of no longer off siting expired items, and instead moving them to the trash. I'd like to hear some feedback on this idea and start thinking about a less volunteer-intensive solution for Project Storage.
