Proposal: Purchase CNC Mill Ben Humphreys

I propose that HeatSync Labs: Purchase the CNC Mill from Joseph Julicher for the price of $1500, with the money donated specifically for that purpose, with the difference being made up with money from the general budget. Establish a fund dedicated to CNC related expenses. CNC-specific donatings will go into this fund, along with a portion of the certification class fees, and the contents of a tip jar to be setup next to the machine. I don't know how much money is earmarked for CNC right now. But there have been $610 of pledges in the earlier syncstarter thread, so assuming everyone put in that much and no more, that leaves $890 to come from the general funds.

Proposal: Board members voted onto board, not voted into positions Chad Stearns

Board elections are a simple vote between "On the board" or "Not on the board" for any given candidate running to be on the board.

Once the board is determined, the board members self-organize into their duties.

This is in contrast with how things are currently done, where candidates are voted into positions, like treasurer or champion etc. Instead, my proposal suggests candidates run to be on the board, and a candidate having a particular responsibility is something the board themselves agree on.

Proposal: Table any changes to the Bylaws or Board seats Jerry Davis I believe that we should not change anything until AFTER we vote on officers in October.

As a past Vice President, and President of the Superstition Amateur Radio Club, I can tell you that nothing like this can just happen with a mere proposal two weeks or so before the Officer Vote.

This needs more discussion:

 * Reasons behind the change
 * A few months of Discussion of Pros and Cons
 * proposed changes to the Bylaws text
 * voting by the entire paying membership with a quorum

and if adopted then could be changed for next year.

Proposal: Keycard Zach Priddy

Proposal: Keycard Jennifer Plamondon

Proposal: Tshirt Re-supply Will Heyo, it looks like I didn't order enough large shirts (this brand seems to run small, too.)

Propose to spend ~$95 to restock the following sizes: Black Extra Large with tax = ($8.72 ea) Black 2XL with tax = ($10.90 ea) Black 3XL with tax = ($11.99 ea) Black 4XL Tall with tax = ($17.99 ea)

Shirts are sold at $20ea regardless of size; do the math, that's our profit per shirt.

6xl 1 womens xl 1 2xl 1 3xl 1 4xl

Voting members: 14

Old business? None
