Unified Personal Property Policy

2025-11-18T00:24:33Z

Beth Shook: /* Approved Area-Specific Storage */

Scope: This policy applies to '''member property''' that members wish to have on the MakeICT premises for some amount of time. The [[MakeICT Property Policy]] covers items owned by MakeICT.

== Donations and Hackables ==

=== Donations ===
As a nonprofit organization, MakeICT benefits hugely from donations, but our space is limited, so we can’t accept everything people want to donate. In order to restrict donations to what MakeICT specifically wants to accept, donees must:

* Confer with the appropriate area lead for the area where the item will be placed, and/or with the board of directors for general and major donations. Items donated that can’t be used in the space can, alternately, be sold by MakeICT and the proceeds will be used to benefit the space.
* Fill out an [https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1qEXmDanwCev_NzdKwsVwoFQB3ZxbBRZT Equipment Donation Receipt] form and send an image of the complete and signed form sent to [Mailto:inventory@makeict.org inventory@makeict.org] and file the original signed form. The Equipment Donation Receipt form should also be copied and given to the donee for tax purposes.

=== Hackables ===
Area leads may designate a portion of their areas for hackables, which are items meant to be used for projects by other members.

Hackables do not require an Equipment Donation Receipt, and can be generally approved by area leads (e.g. “put all scrap materials here”), so that they can be immediately used by other members without seeking permission. Hackables may not be sold off by the area leads– they must be rejected for donation if unwanted. Check the wiki page for each area for information on how hackables are handled in that area.

If a lead accepts hackables as a donation but members aren’t using them, the lead can place the hackables in a “free” area where anyone in membership can take them.

== Equipment/Tool Loans ==
Items may be loaned to MakeICT, but only if the loan is documented.

Every item on loan will need to be documented using the [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1no710uzJA7m3ecaTVU3zVNn9U7nQlk7M/view?usp=sharing Equipment Loan Agreement Form], signed by the appropriate Area Lead and two board members. Agreement forms will be kept on file by the [[Inventory Committee|Inventory and Procurement Committee]].

Equipment loans can be viewed on this [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12DNSho5Xg70VZbuAcyAieZnLkDU9EGo3RL7wZ0ncNbw/edit#gid=0 spreadsheet].

=== Identification ===

* An item on loan will be labeled as such and will include contact information for the owner.
* The item will also have a link to the wiki outlining care, use, precautions, and training options for use of the tool.

=== Return of Loaned Items ===

* Items may be retrieved by the owner after notifying the Area Lead and/or Inventory Committee prior to retrieval. This will ensure the MakeICT’s inventory remains up to date and prevent the item being reported as lost/stolen.
* MakeICT may request that a loaned item must return to its owner, in which case the item will be subject to disposal 30 days after notifying the owner, if the owner does not respond.

=== MakeICT’s Obligations ===

* MakeICT will ensure loaned items are maintained in approximately the same or better condition than they were when received.
* MakeICT is responsible for the full cost of repair or replacement if the item is damaged in, or stolen from, the premises. Once the item is returned to the lender, MakeICT is no longer responsible for replacement or repair.
* MakeICT will notify the lender promptly if the item is damaged or lost.
* The lender of the item will determine who is allowed to perform maintenance or make repairs on the item. This must be specified before the loan can be accepted.

* MakeICT is responsible for proper use of the equipment and is responsible for training anyone using the equipment on the proper use of the equipment.
* The item will not leave the MakeICT location at any time, unless they are returned to the lender.
* Tools loaned to the makerspace will follow the same [[Machine Access]] policies as other tools, as defined by the area lead. The lender will work with the area lead to determine appropriate policies.
* If a tool loaned to MakeICT harms any person or property while under operation of MakeICT, the lender will not be held responsible.

== Consignment ==
Consignment is when MakeICT brokers items on behalf of a member.

=== MakeICT’s Obligations ===

* MakeICT will collect and remit sales tax. Items that are being sold by an entity that has a retail sales tax permit are not an exception.
* MakeICT will retain discretion to move, pull, or place time limits on any or all items in the display area. If an item is removed, it will be returned to the seller within 30 days of notification to the seller.
* MakeICT will create and/or allow signage to instruct purchasers where the payments go, and what needs to be written on the envelope or in the comments when making payment online.

=== Seller’s Obligations ===
A signed and dated formal agreement must be submitted with the following:

* Where the item to be consigned will be placed
* A beginning and end date for the sale, which will not exceed six months except by agreement between the seller and MakeICT.

Prices, item names, and seller's name must be firmly attached to, and/or clearly visible for, each item.

=== Pricing and Fees ===

* The consignment fee will be 20% for items with a sale price greater than or equal to $100. A consignment fee will not apply to items less than $100.
* Prices should be multiples of $0.25 (quarter dollars).

* Sales tax is to be included in the sale price and should be considered when pricing items.
* Sales tax is subject to the current rate for Wichita which can be accessed on the [https://www.wichita.gov/252/Taxes city website]. As of policy approval, it is 7.5%.
* A limited amount of lockable storage may be available for items.
* Please limit the total value of each display case to be less than $1,000.

== Property Sale ==
Direct Sale via the Forum

MakeICT members may sell their own items directly using the For Sale category on the forum. Member should create a new thread with the name of the item to be sold, e.g. “Band Saw,” and add information in the first post of the thread including how to contact the seller and, ideally, photos and more details about the item. Responsibility for all parts of the transaction rests on the buyer and seller.

== Personal Storage ==

=== Lockers ===
Members may rent lockers, if available, to store their possessions on the premises. The price to rent a locker is currently $5 per month, which will be paid along with membership dues, but availability is not guaranteed.

Members are responsible for the contents of their lockers and must provide a lock if necessary.

Storage of perishable food items in lockers is prohibited.

A member must remove all possessions from their locker in the event that they cancel their membership, immediately if not beforehand. Members whose membership ends involuntarily will have their possessions shipped to their address on file within 30 days.

=== Approved Area-Specific Storage ===
Area leads may designate space within their areas for personal storage as part of their area-specific guidelines as stated on their wiki page.

If an area lead request payment in exchange for storage space, that payment will be applied to the general fund.

=== General Storage ===
Permission to store items outside of area-specific policy can in some cases still be granted by an area lead, or in other cases approved by the board, depending on circumstances.

=== Lost and Found ===
The Lost and Found box is located in the Welcome Area cabinet to the left of the desk. If an owner isn’t immediately identified, members are asked to place the items in this box to keep them safe until the owner can claim them.

=== Food Storage ===
Food items that require refrigeration must be placed in the break room refrigerator in sealed storage containers clearly labeled with the owner’s name and phone number, with the current date. Food items left in the fridge for longer than three days are subject to disposal.

=== Immediate Disposal ===
Items not covered elsewhere in the policy that have not been approved for storage are subject to immediate disposal by any member if they are deemed an impediment to members using equipment in that area correctly, safely, and/or easily.

=== Disposal to Other Members ===
Items in an area that don’t fall within the parameters of the area’s guidelines but also don’t present a hindrance to the area may be acquired by other members upon receiving permission from the area lead.

This includes hackables that have been accepted as donations by the area lead, but haven’t been used in the area by members. The lead can place these hackables in the general “free stuff” area.

Approved by the board on [[January 16th 2025]].

*This is also not an "anything goes" environment. Be respectful of others in the discussion.
*The workshops are scheduled to run for two hours, with the first hour being for general discussion and the second hour reserved for executive sessions by the board, as needed.

Board members are not required to attend, though they are strongly encouraged.

What happened at August’s meeting (8/21):

At the August 21, 2025 Board Meeting, the MakeICT Board recognized volunteers for their contributions, heard updates from area leads, and reviewed finances showing $18,000 in income with $10,000 added to reserves. Key actions included appointing John Cummings as Metal Shop Lead, updating shop policies and bank accounts, approving a WIBA membership, funding up to $7,000 for new signage, and granting a six-month scholarship to a member.

===Brunch with the Board===

====Badge Access Policy====
Revisit to talk about any concerns members may have about this newly updated policy.
Q&A:
- Q: Does the new/current policy ensure Security can request individuals to leave without a Board member present? A: There are specific statements regarding security having authority to revoke access: “Access may be revoked or suspended by Board or Security”and “Individuals asked to leave by Board or Security will have access suspended for a minimum of 24 hours or up to 1 month, determined by Security / Board conversation.”

James voiced concern about the wording of the policy - the individual is ‘asked’ to leave, when it should say they will be ‘told’ to leave.

James voiced that the Building & Property policy conflicts with Badge Access Policy. Motion did not include the obsoletion of the Building & Property policy.

James / Cooper: “Individuals asked to leave by Board or Security will have access suspended for a minimum of 24 hours or up to 1 month, determined by Security / Board conversation.”

“Asked versus told in the policy”

'''Motion:''' Beth moves to change statement of “asked” to “told” and to obsolete the Building & Property Policy with a supercession of the new Badge Access Policy.

'''Seconded by:''' Andy Tannahill

*Andy votes: yay
*Beth votes: yay
*Aaron G votes: yay
*Gretchen votes: yay
*George votes: yay
*Cooper votes: yay
*Dean votes: yay

*This is also not an "anything goes" environment. Be respectful of others in the discussion.
*The workshops are scheduled to run for two hours, with the first hour being for general discussion and the second hour reserved for executive sessions by the board, as needed.

Board members are not required to attend, though they are strongly encouraged.

Key actions included appointing John Cummings as Metal Shop Lead, updating shop policies and bank accounts, approving a WIBA membership, funding up to $7,000 for new signage, and granting a six-month scholarship to a member.

====Badge Access Policy====
Revisit to talk about any concerns members may have about this newly updated policy.
Q&A:
- Q: Does the new/current policy ensure Security can request individuals to leave without a Board member present? A: There are specific statements regarding security having authority to revoke access: “Access may be revoked or suspended by Board or Security”and “Individuals asked to leave by Board or Security will have access suspended for a minimum of 24 hours or up to 1 month, determined by Security / Board conversation.”

James voiced concern about the wording of the policy - the individual is ‘asked’ to leave, when it should say they will be ‘told’ to leave.

James voiced that the Building & Property policy conflicts with Badge Access Policy. Motion did not include the obsoletion of the Building & Property policy.

James / Cooper: “Individuals asked to leave by Board or Security will have access suspended for a minimum of 24 hours or up to 1 month, determined by Security / Board conversation.”

“Asked versus told in the policy”

'''Motion:''' Beth moves to change statement of “asked” to “told” and to obsolete the Building & Property Policy with a supercession of the new Badge Access Policy.

'''Seconded by:''' Andy Tannahill

*Andy votes: yay
*Beth votes: yay
*Aaron G votes: yay
*Gretchen votes: yay
*George votes: yay
*Cooper votes: yay
*Dean votes: yay
*Stephan votes:
