Committees

  • Finance (David)
    • After quickbooks integration, hand to an accountant, then consider an audit
    • Do we have any accountants?
  • New Building.
    • Jens: Wants agreement from this board that this is what we want the new committee to do. Presented a MakeICT 2018 New Building Committee. Committee members are comprised of directors and area leads. Others as needed, for specific tasks. See report in this month’s minutes folder.
      • To Do List
        • Identify new building needs
          • Square footage requirement - total and unique areas
          • Utility needs
        • Financial analysis
        • Community Resources/Networking
      • James L: are we considering new areas too in the square footage needs?
        • Yes.
      • Purchasing vs. leasing; partnering vs. not
        • We shouldn’t set any hard rule at this time. This could be a good idea.
        • Malissa: those types of partnerships can be very beneficial.
      • Curt: it’s hard for area leads to forecast how much sq footage they need.
      • Will: Possibly have a ‘hatchery lab’ for areas that are up and coming or down and out.
      • JB/David: Dallas if they want to start a new area, they have to form a committee, they then have to fundraise, they are then given their own sq footage and a timeline in which to be successful before the footage is reverted for other use.
      • Ken: we should have a scale drawing of how area leads are going to use a square space. Should be due next board meeting.
        • @TODO (Area Leads, no date): scale drawing of how area leads are going to use a square space.

  • Special Projects (Mike).
    • David asked about urgency to sell the bus
    • Tags are due. Let’s sell the bus!
      • it will cost 69$ due on 8/31/2018
    • @TODO (David Springs, no date): Sell the bus before we have to tag it...

    • Membership Onboarding and Events Report. See report in this month’s minutes folder.

@TODO (Kim, no date): Clarify Maker Monday info on website

  • IT (Christian K). We’ve had a lot of people volunteer to be on the IT committee. He contacted them this week. Having a meeting on Sunday with 5-6 new people. Chaos will ensue.
  • Security (Ken S). LaDeana, David and Mike B resigned. Josh Robinson and Paul Maseberg joined. Mark Sartoria is still on. Having a problem getting everyone in the same place at the same time. Shout out to Josh R. for being awesome on Maker Mondays.
  • Scholarships (Kim). One person has requested a scholarship. Made a wiki page for Scholarships.
    • JB: thinks it’s time to stop the scholarships that people have been on for years.
    • Curt: when we were on the board, the scholarship was automatic for six months, by then you should have taught a class, etc. It shouldn’t be a long term option. Can’t it be set up that the scholarship doesn’t auto-renew at six months?? Isn’t that how it was originally done?
    • JB motioned to that we contact the people who have been on scholarship for more than six months and give them 2 months pay for a full membership. In September they will be invoiced $25 for a regular membership and payment is required for membership and key privileges. Seconded by Kez. 6 pro 1 con 1 abstain.
    • @DECISION: Motion passed to contact the people who have been on scholarship for more than six months and give them 2 months pay for a full membership. In September they will be invoiced $25 for a regular membership and payment is required for membership and key privileges.
      • Discussion: LaDeana: policy needs to be in writing. Curt: How many have been on scholarship in the last 18? What’s the outcome? Kim: most don’t log in and pay the 10$. Five people are on scholarship right now. James L: we should wait on this until we have a policy.
