Misc Updates:

  • Steam Roller event is coming up April 25th, 10a-5p with Food Trucks 11a-2p and DJ
  • e-Waste drive by Conrae Verser: Board likes the plan and confirms that Ian (COO) can approve space for the effort.
  • Phase 1: Auto Lift: Kevin (CLO) confirms that certification is important, and BoD agrees. Urges Automotive committee to get it certified. Possible benefit for insurance, but even if no benefit, it's good to get it certified.
  • Phase 2a Laser updates: No release yet, looped Randy in, Argon discussion, Burt doesn't want to go to vendors for updated quotes because it can only happen so many times and doesn't make progress internally at DMS
  • Long discussion pre-meeting regarding Honorarium and Classroom Analytics compiled by the CFO and Education committee
  • Design input on Classroom and common area space

Title:Purging of W-9 Information

Purpose & Relevance:

aka Problem & Solution:

DMS had an issue in the past regarding the submission of W-9 information to its outside

accountants. The rumors and hearsay have continued.

The current process was discussed with the CFO and he is going to write up a one-pager on

the current process to act as a one-page “explainer.”

As part of that discussion, the CFO indicated there were some old W-9s around that had

not been purged pending the in-process document retention policy development.

Motion Text:Motion to immediately purge all W-9s in possession of DMS. The Board instructs the CFO to purge all W-9s in possession of DMS with immediate effect
