Consent Agenda

New Business

Submitted By	Agenda Item Title	Problem	Solution	Relevance	Pulled from Consent	Moved By	Seconded By	For	Against	Abstain
Julie Harris	1 new Kiln for Ceramics	The paragon has been diagnosed as “done.”	Purchase a Skutt KMT 1227 PK 3 phase (Production Kiln). Full quote by Trinity Ceramics for all parts we need, tax, and delivery: $6,505.57 Skutt is a reliable, quality kiln manufacturer with an excellent customer support system, heavily favored by kiln repair technicians for quick turnarounds on questions and warranty issues. Strong safety focus in design and are frequently used in schools and community studios. Currently the price of upkeep per kiln is around $350-500 per kiln in replacement parts (every 6-8 months for each kiln). The Production Line, while increasing the capacity significantly, also features heavy duty elements and solid state relays, reducing the frequency of replacing these consumable parts of the kiln.	Ceramics/Education	no	Julie Harris	Thomas Fagan	John Fabrycki, Julie Harris, Jayson Woods, Thomas Fagan, Jack Smith
Julie Harris	Window Seals	Window seals need work	We received a proposal from one of the landlord's contractors to seal the windows.  After reviewing the lease, we are responsible for the windows.  I suggest we get more bids but wanted to discuss.  The proposal is below. Julie motion to table.  Jack second.  Thomas and Jay will look for bids.	Property Maintenance	no
Jamie Rasmus	2 additional wheels for ceramics	Crowded during busy times and no wheels during classes	We want to purchase 2 Brent model B-wheels to keep up with the demand. These wheels are the most tried and trusted in the potter community (longevity, high throwing weight capabilities, high torque motor) and this brand has proved itself time and again in our space. We are still looking to cap our throwing classes to 4-5 in order to provide more free spaces to DMS members while classes are in session. Total for two wheels including delivery/tax: $3893.40	Retain members by keeping up with demand	no	Julie Harris	John Fabrycki	Julie Harris, Jack Smith, Jayson Woods, John Fabrycki	Thomas Fagan
