Dan’s motion that item C, Syndication policy, be removed from Unfinished Business, and agenda approval passed with identical votes: 8 yea’s, 1 abstention.

    VI.Management report – Six new underwriters have signed up in the past ten days. JT expressed concerns about Rivendell expenses. [See the packet for more info from the Manager’s Report.] Cody’s motion that Finance should look into further Rivendell expenses passed unanimously.
     
    VII.Consent calendar – Dan’s motion that item A (items B-E having been removed during agenda approval) be tabled passed unanimously.
    A. The Board voted in Sept. to accept Policy’s recommendations regarding changes in Elections policy on a provisional basis. Does the Board wish to make those changes permanent? – Dan (29 Feb.): “We should vote on [this] after elections.”
    B. As it has been superseded by newer policy, the following clause is stricken from Policy 4.6: “Regarding emergency fund sources, RCR shall: Set up and maintain a $20,000 line of credit with an acceptable financial institution.”
    C. The following phrase is stricken from Policy 5.4.2: The Station Manager is responsible for all hires, except of course his/her own.

    VIII.Finance Com. report – CCUSH was again requested to make another presentation to the Board, this one having to do with non-profit (not personal) finances. The need for better financial information was again repeated. Dian has created a line for deferred income. Jimmy reminded the Board of phone calls should be made to unpaid pledgers before the next drive starts.
    IX.Unfinished business
    A. Strategic plan, check-in. (JT): Programming should be included, incl. time-slots. Exemplify the part of our mission about being the voice of the voiceless. Encouraging people to participate: programming that makes people upset (!) which makes us different from public radio.
    B. Security enhancements, update: Maria will ask David Katz if he can recommend an electrician, and get more info about permits. Jeanette suggests putting in one light first, to see how it looks and functions.
    C. Syndication policy [previously removed from consideration].
    D. Procedures for Board decisions by email. Discussion included Sarah’s and Cody’s points that whoever initiates a Board poll should be the one at a distinct moment to know when to communicate the Board’s decision, or else delegate someone to do so.
    E. Changes to Policy 5.4.3.1 - Management Evaluation. [For proposed changes, see Dan’s Feb. 29 email.] Dan moved to approve suggested changes. Christine seconded; unanimously passed [8-0].
     
    X.New business
    A. Mural project: storage containers. Dan wants to “let Chad loose”, and fund @ $400 [to come from Grounds budget] for materials. Siena asked for a design. 
    B. Appoint to Mediation Committee: Margaret Lewis and Paul Encimer. The Board voted to confirm their seating, and did so, with 7 yea’s, 1 abstention.
    C. Policy manual: access to, and procedures for updating. Jack stated he had no objection to use of Google docs, and that we use that as well as the Word-doc-based manual until we’re sure of the direction we want to move in. Cody moved to table, Jack seconded.
    D. Jack moved a Board member be appointed at every meeting to take note of who is seeking the floor and call on them at the appropriate time. Dan seconded; it passed unanimously.

      Redwood Community Radio - Board of Directors
      Tues., Feb. 9, 2016 – 3:30
      Healy Sr. Ctr., Redway, CA
      I.Call to order: Meeting ground rules; opening comments from the President
      Roll call:
      board-appointed
      Christine Doyka, Treasurer Sarah Scudder
      members’ reps
      Vice-president Siena Klein, Cody Dillon, Maria Savage
      programmers’ reps
      Secretary Jack Frybulous, President Dan Murphy, Jimmy Durchslag
      station manager
      Jeanette Todd
      absent
      Mark Marchese
      II.Approval of Dec. and Jan. minutes was unanimous.
      III.Approval of agenda. Jimmy moved that 1. procedures for Board decisions by email, and 2. Board members taking individual actions be added. Siena seconded. Unanimously approved.
      IV.Open time – Rob Bier and Zack Gonzales were present.
      V.Management report – JT points out that p. 30 in the packet (what’s legal in copyright law) is important reading for making policy. Station Activity Survey is also included. Public file will need to be digital by 2018. Proposal to hire SquareSpace to host our website will be forthcoming, probably in May; Syndey Morrone has offered to assist with implementation. Emergency Response 
      Team has 3 facets: broadcast (how we would stay on-air in an emergency), the county’s vision, and the news room response; more on this soon. CPB non-compliance fines are listed. Amy Goodman performs Apr. 16, incl. a 40-person meet-and-greet prior to her lecture. Programming Directors are looking to revise with Programmer Reps the Programmers’ Agreement. Simon has asked for follow-up on a grant to get a new generator.
      VI.Discussion, questions for Management – Jimmy offered comments on Dev’t Coordinator job description (p. 35) and differences between a Coordinator and Director; also asked if we can get health insurance for staff. Dan commented about May for Block Party, could it be in July, or coincide with a pledge drive. JT says it’s our birthday, and we should keep it close to the date.
       
      VII.Consent calendar – Unanimously approved.
      A. 2nd approval: Two changes are made to the section of Policy 2.3.5 [Board communications guidelines] called Meeting and Minutes:
       
      i. This text, the entirety of ¶ 3, is deleted: Management shall arrange for an audio recording of the meeting, provide a copy to the Secretary within three days, and archive the original at the station for two years. Other Board members may also request a copy. Management will provide copies to the public upon request for $10 per copy.
       
      ii. In ¶ 4, the phrase and/or the audio recording is also deleted. ¶ 4 reads: The Secretary shall take the best notes possible while participating fully in all discussions, read back motions as requested, and shall use those notes, others’ notes, and/or the audio recording to assist in producing accurate minutes. Documents approved by the Board will be included in their entirety in the minutes, or, long documents may be identified by date of draft.
       
      B. Elections Committee appointments: Jimmy Durchslag will run Programmer elections; Maria will do Members election; Siena will be the overseer and do binders. 
       
      VIII.Finance Com. report – Sarah: 2015 payroll taxes not yet incorporated into figures. 2016 budget shows a $400 deficit, but low-balling of fund-raising estimates nonetheless puts RCR in a good position. Q: Would the Board prefer a partial month that’s recent, or a whole month from a month ago. JT: would rather see what’s more up-to-date. Just received P&L for 2016. Jimmy pointed out: $121K profit from 2015 is incorrect, since 2016 grant revenue ($95K) was received in 2015. Also, all funds has been re-paid to Fitch and other funds. Net income for 2015 reported as just under $29K, but est. $20K is more accurate. Pacifica subscription (for Oct. through Sept.) was not billed till January, and that the bill has always arrived randomly; this does mean our 2015 surplus is $5K lower. We’re in the black! And look forward to being more solidly in the black. Jimmy: The budget shows a small break-even for 2016, but we believe the income is under-stated; 2015 fund-raising was surpassed by $20K; a 19-page report of 2015 profit and loss for all events is posted at the station.
       
      IX.Unfinished business
      A. Strategic plan, check-in: Board and Staff meeting next Tuesday. Sarah said she will meet with Jeanette to talk about funding aspects of the plan.
       
      B. Update on security enhancements: property and people. Sarah asked for a list of names of people living close-by who are willing to come help with situations. JT says the parking lot is very dark at night, that we’ve been talking about this ever since she’s arrived, and re-iterates the need to light up the parking lot with tamper-proof lights. We got a quote for lighting up the entire property, vs. an underground cord to a pole. JT asked could the Board chase $4K to light up the front and put up a pole?
       
      Jimmy pointed out the need to be strategic in approaching the community to fund specific projects. Sarah re-focused on the parking lot, and would feel comfortable leaving the rest of the building as-is, if we lit up the front. Dan: “and sealed the backyard”.
       
      Sarah moved to approve $7500 from New Reserve, and from the Music Library account, to pay for lights in the parking lot and front of building. Jack seconded. Unanimously approved.
       
      Cody will call Jim Truitt. Jeanette will call PGE. Cody suggested a Building and Grounds meeting. Maria will talk to David Katz. Dan will talk to Cynthia about the list of people to call to deal with situations, and will bring up at the Programmers’ Meeting (Feb. 20) training for those people.
       
      X.New business
      A. Procedures for Board decisions by email – all agree that it is important to be able to distinguish between requests for information and requests for action. Board members’ gathering information does not and should never require prior approval.
       
      B. Board members taking individual actions: while not meaning to signal that individual initiative in getting balls rolling is a bad thing, it is the Board’s strong consensus that it’s best when all Board members take potentially significant actions under the umbrellas of the committees with which they are involved. Grave concerns were expressed about Board members representing themselves as Board members to representatives of other entities.
       
       
      XI.Committee Reports
      A.Programmers’ Reps – Next Programmers’ meeting: Sat., Feb. 20. Jimmy will do promo, Jack will email the Ps agenda, Dan will make signs for station, incl. that you are required to attend at least one event, etc. JT add to agenda participate in drives; reminder of one meeting a year, enforcement. Security. Agreement being updated: no uploading of shows.
      B.Members’ Reps – Siena: a member requested that by-laws be updated on the website. 
      C.Community Advisory Boards. Emma has set up a meeting. Jeanette asked if there was a response required to the letter the Board sent Emma. Dan asks about re-invigorating a central CAB. Siena: we are working at establishing a coastal CAB.
      D.Correspondence Secretary – Christine.
      E.Development – Siena. Submitted notes from the Jan. 19 meeting. Floor space at Mateel: 300 + 50 on the mezzanine. Discussion of breaking down the stage, and putting screen(s) outside. 300 @ $50 is break-even. Meet and greet before she speaks for 40: the first forty to put up $1000? Jeanette asked what folks here would pay: many said 50 max, Sarah said 100 with dinner. Our cost is ~ $12K. Jeanette is on top of getting a calendar for Development. JT was reimbursed $22K for fund-raising expenses last year!
      F.Pledge Drive [was made a standing committee 11/15] – Jimmy D. Start Tues., Apr. 12 through Tues., the 26th. Everyone to write a promo for giving early, and ending drive early if we reach our goal. Jack will write a script for video production. Call meeting with Ruby, Bridget, Nate, Brittany.
      G.Policy – Cody. Meeting next week, didn’t meet last month. Need to start working on getting old policies updated into manual.
      H.Building & Grounds – Dan and Cody. Dan will do a promo to recruit for this committee. Mention in the promo a work date. Sealing off the backyard. JT: working to get a storage container.
      I.Mediation – Christine. None, but Siena says a meeting is needed. Christine will call for a meeting. JT: A Programmer is requesting a grievance hearing, and is hoping for an official recommendation. But maybe it’s not complicated enough for Grievance? Or that it’s too difficult to get the GP together?
      J.Emergency Preparedness – Jeanette. Bringing all the groups working independently together: what county expects from us in an emergency, what we intend to do to have the correct components, and on-air staff is prepared. Next meeting? Get a studio-transmitter link, but needs line-of-sight to the Mud and to Pratt Mtn.
      K.Management Evaluation – Dan. Jimmy, Peter Ryce, Angela Zane, Christine. Report coming on Apr. 1. Peter’s writing a couple of questions. Jeanette will complete a self-evaluation. Discussion of appropriateness of getting feedback from listeners, and movement away from annual reviews.
      L.Hiring – Jeanette, Christine and Dan. Shanin? Next Wed at 1.
      M.Elections – Siena and Jimmy. Rob our only Member running. 2 candidates for Programmer election. Inform membership no election. Noel would retain her appointed seat one more year. Margaret Lewis is 2nd candidate for 2nd seat. No election for either Mediation or Members.
      N.Networking – Jack.

        Redwood Community Radio – Board of Directors
        Tues., Dec 8, 2016 – 3:30
        Healy Senior Center, Redway, CA
         
         
        I.Call to order: Meeting ground rules; opening comments from the President
        Roll call
        board-appointed
        Christine Doyka, Mark Marchese
        members’ reps
        Cody Comfy Dillon
        programmers’ reps
        Secretary Jack Frybulous, President Dan Murphy, Jimmy Durchslag (arr. 3:59)
        station manager
        Jeanette Todd
        absent
        Treasurer Sarah Scudder, Vice-president Siena Klein, Maria Savage
        II.Approval of November minutes – postponed.
        III.Approval of agenda – unanimously approved.
        IV.Open time – Bill Telnes and Jama Chaplin addressed the Board; Zack Gonzales was also present. During the 16 minutes allotted to Bill, he spoke about his having been indefinitely barred from the station. Jeanette clarified that, if he had radio business, he could be at the station during business hours. Jama Chaplin said that FCC forms 316 and 323-E had not been filed, and requested a disposition; JT explained they were not yet required to be submitted.
        V.Management report – Amidst a significant staff turnover, Jeanette was pleased to announce that the Hiring Committee had been unanimous in its recommendation to hire co-news directors Sydney Morrone and Isabella Vanderheiden. Our first CPB grant money arrived, and financially RCR is getting back on its feet. This reserve (called the Fitch Reserve) now has $3K, in addition to a separate reserve fund (now named the Mapes Reserve), which contains $50K. 
        VI.Discussion / questions for Management – Jimmy asked if we had repaid bequest funds that we’d spent, and getting clear information about such issues has been exacerbated by the unavailability due to pressing health issues of a key provider of financial data. Jimmy clarified that the Reserve is separate from the Music Library (aka Fitch) account, and that we are aiming to replace $38K. The last drive brought in $99K (incl. $32K in the Silent Drive), for which we paid $1200 to coordinators, and (only) $56 in food over 16 days. Some Board members may start making phone calls shortly to encourage those who’ve pledged to pay. Jack thanked Jeanette for getting the Donor Snap database up and running (which allowed us to call and solicit additional pledges from past donors), but she again reminded us that Nella and Beth deserve most of the credit.
         
        Five of the six board members were in favor of adding a Closed Session to discuss personnel and hiring issues.
         
        VII.Consent calendar
         
        VIII.Finance Com. Report – Increasing underwriting revenue is hard because the database is so shot, even bills are hard to do. Jan. 2017 target for all things. Jimmy moved the budget be accepted; I seconded. Jimmy had questions about JT getting paid (and working) less, but a motion to approve the budget with three changes – sub revenue down $10K, underwriting down $10K, adding $12K to transition budget – was unanimously approved.
         
        IX.Closed session – Personnel
        X.Unfinished business
        A. Celebration Appreciation
        (a) logistics, planning for: Band needed. Last year’s budget (with 260 people in attendance) was $2K, which traditionally is mostly spent on food, as beer and wine usually comes to us no cost. Admittance will be discussed at Development. Christine moved we authorize JT to spend up to $3K, unanimously approved.
        (b) revising ballot: 2160 ballots will be sent out next week.
        B. Members’ Meeting, promotion of. No lengthy discussion.
        C. Strategic plan check-in. Tabled.
        D. Budget check-in (done)

        G. Hiring Committee, update: The committee comprises Jeanette, Maria, Christine, Dan and Shahine (formerly Marcy). Brittany Hutcherson has been hired as Admin Assistant, and is working out really well. A job description for the Development Director will be ready in January.
        H. Policy Committee, forms for reporting violence: Jimmy moved to approve 2.3.5 [“not share board recordings”], Dan seconded. 2nd approval for next meeting. Unanimously approved.
         
         
        XI.New business
        A. Broadcast from Emerald Cup: We want as many people to do live broadcasts as possible, and we don’t want to burn out Simon, who is training Nate to do live broadcasts with Eric.
         
         
        XII.Committee Reports
        A.Programmers’ Reps

          MINUTES
          Redwood Community Radio – Board of Directors
          Tues., Nov. 10, 2015 – 3:30
          Redwood Playhouse, Garberville, CA
          I.Call to order: Meeting ground rules; opening comments from the President
          II.Roll call:  Members’ Reps – President Siena Klein, Cody Comfy Dillon. Programmers’ Reps – Secretary Jack Frybulous, Vice-president Dan Murphy, Jimmy Durchslag (arrived 3:36). Board-appointed – Christine Doyka (arrived 3:42), Mark Marchese. Station Manager Jeanette Todd. Absent: Maria Savage, Treasurer Sarah Scudder.
          III.Approval of Oct. minutes. Siena moved to approve, Jack seconded; unanimously approved.
          IV.Approval of agenda – Closed Session (personnel) added after New Business, and budget discussion added after Closed Session. Dan seconded; unanimously approved.
          V.Open time - Jimmy Robinson was our sole visitor.
          VI.Management report - All Board members must know what’s in the CPB Community Services Grant handout; one aspect that concerns JT is the relatively sophisticated records-keeping CPB requires of stations. $13,958 is in the Signal upgrade account; $39,770 in checking; $50K in reserve, and $3500 in a second reserve account. Suzanne Beers remains the executrix of the Fitch estate, and an accounting has been requested. Eric Kirk is said to have sent stuff twice before. 
          VII.Discussion / questions for Management – Mark asked about other check-signers. Jeanette will put on CSAR that office staff had been experiencing serious email problems. 
           
          VIII.Consent calendar
          A. “Pledge Drive” is made a standing committee. Jack moved to approve this; Dan seconded. Unanimously approved.
          B. The Board directs that Julia Minton’s name be substituted in the necessary places with that of Treasurer Sarah Scudder. Siena moved that we add Sarah, Jeanette Todd, Simon Frech, and Dan Murphy to the list of approved check-signers at the Community Credit Union of Southern Humboldt; Christine seconded. Unanimously approved.
          IX.Finance Com. report – Jimmy: Oct shows $15K net income, and net of $16K for the year. We don’t believe our financial statements, because we know they don’t reflect reality, and asked JT to explain in more detail. Jeanette: many expenses are not recorded, a lot of money moved from Fitch to cover day-to-day expenses, and we don’t see that. Fundraising account not updated in more than 3 months, balance sheets not reflecting that. Coffee booth bills, and floors still unpaid for. Has to do withnot having enough time to balance accounts, concerned that when we’re not up-to-date and don’t have good numbers, seems a little ahead of ourselves to make budget for next year when this year’s budget figures aren’t in. Some underwriters haven’t been billed, money is in bank accounts, but not reflected in statements. Dian agrees that she can put in 4 hrs Tues and Fri, but a lot more time is needed. What does the Board want to see happen?
           
          An additional accountant or bookkeeper is needed to help us get through this; possible candidates: Sarah, Taun Moody, the Beginnings bookkeeper, Erin Larsen. JT will ask Dian to suggest someone. Siena asked about CCUSH to come and talk to us again, to be brought up at next Finance meeting. 
          X.Unfinished business
          A. Strategic plan check-in – prioritizing items that came out of followup meeting, see pp 23 and 31. JT suggests each Board member takes responsibility of one event, from start to finish. Important to delegate. Reminder: get list of unpaid pledge payments. Dan asked next meeting on Strat plan, to which JT said if we could prioritize what’s on p. 31, we’ll be much closer to announcing a date for the next strat plan meeting with staff. JT will prioritize and assign items for further discussion. Comfy mentioned a program Sean showed him for long-range planning. Jim: thinks there was more there than can be done. His concern: too much. Strat plan is a wish list that needs to be narrowed down. Mark … Siena: we didn’t re-visit the progress of the Strat plan made in 2009, suggests place-holder in Board meetings’ agenda. So (again) Jeanette will tackle this and send out suggestions.
          B. Issues fm policy: violence, syndication, uploading shows, financial emergencies.
          Dan moved to table; Jack seconded. (This motion was later withdrawn.)
          * violence still doesn’t have forms, see p. 27 of packet.
          * syndication; JT and Comfy think more ppl need to be involved. Cody: not a priority now. Jim asked what’s the priority for use of our facilities? Doesn’t think it’s an issue. 
          * uploading shows – see p. 28 of packet.
          Jim moved to adopt the amendment to the Programmers’ Agreement as-is. Cody seconded; unanimously approved.
          Prog reps will talk to  Cynthia, and the whole PA will be re-submitted in January.
          * financial emergencies. I moved that “will” be substituted for “should”. Jimmy seconded. Unanimously approved. First 2 items stay with Policy.
          C. Elections Com. – chair, timeline. I can’t be involved. Jim will run P election. Siena will guide Members’ election. Dan will do Mgmt Eval. Mark declares his intention to run for a Members’ seat. ACTIONS: Siena will ask Maria to join elections. Siena: a Mediation Com person (and Programmer) needs to be elected. Siena and Christine will look into Mediation Com.
           
          XI.New business
          A. Update compliance calendar. Dan will send us a revised version.
          B. Meet in December? Dan points out the budget needs work. / Celebration
          C. Continue to record Board meetings? Yes.
          D. Board review of Agreements we make with sub Programmers – Note the comment at the bottom of p. 30. Jim said CC is able; Programmer reps would assist with the PDs how to handle situations. Cody suggests adding language like “for 3 weeks, or 3 shows” etc. Jimmy asks the PDs to draft the language they want, then P reps will present it to the Ps. Is there lang in the PA that subs must be reported to the PD? 
          E. Hiring com update.
          F. Board responses to communications / use of list-serv. Jimmy pointed out that I’d suggested Amy’s letter be replied to incl the list-serv. We empowered JT to do this. I asked if the person who expressed an interest in forming a Mendo CAB had been contacted. Siena said Anon Forest is the person’s name. Christine will write up draft replies.

            IV.Open time – Jama Chaplin spoke: Potential for confusion over names of the Fitch fund. Jeanette replied: At the last meeting, the Board decided to re-name the $50K reserve fund the Mapes reserve. The (newer) Fitch reserve fund auto-withdraws $500 monthly from checking. Also present: Dopey, Brittany Hutcherson, Michael McCaskle.
            V.Management report – will create a more detailed report for Members’ Meeting. Jeanette replied to Cody’s question about withdraw from Quikbooks, having to do with the auto-withdrawal from our checking account, which happened on the 1st, but which Dian had not yet taken into account. JT: The original Fitch disbursement had $106K to begin, and needs to be trued up; monies there have already been spent or allocated. Jack asked about educating the listeners to have shorter drives. JT: Dev’t and Pledge Drive Committees need to make a thoughtful plan. Jim: Priority for Pledge Drive Committee.
            VI.Discussion / questions for Management Dan asked about staff transition: JT: phenomenally positive. Had concerns that UW would be damaged, but we raised $184K.

            B. Strategic plan, check-in: JT: before next meeting of Board and Staff. 
            C. Security Store – lighting, to discourage campers, and re-assure Programmers. Gate? Fencing off? (Discussion of getting a live-in caretaker has been indefinitely back-burnered.) Grounds Cmte will take over from JT what to do next.
             
            X.New business
            A. Office copier, new one needed: buy or lease. Lease expires Oct. 7. Copier was bought five years ago, then the company went out of business, now maintained through Wells Fargo. We save about $1200 per print job by doing it in-house. (This will be added to the June agenda.)

Fall Splendor meeting – their Board meets monthly for four months prior to the event; their goal this year $30K ($10K more than last year). The Strategic Plan grant has been filed.

                  IX.Unfinished business
                  A. Reports from Policy (Policy has not met; tabled)
                  * amending Programmers’ Agreement: prohibiting uploading of shows.
                  * anti-violence
                  * removal of “ex-officio”

                  E. CNN contract [was discussed for 33 minutes following approval of the draft audit, New Business item D]: Jack suggested KR be reminded that we wait for one or two similar proposals to consider; a straw poll revealed that a majority of remaining Board members think that she be informed that RCR would like some financial consideration. She uses KMUD studios about 7 hrs/wk, so equipment usage is an issue. Jeanette: counter-propose certain standards (as we do for the news); important we not compete for sponsors. Studio-time (station support, and its compensation) is an issue.
                   
                  X.New business
                  A. Revitalize Website Committee; Jack: who should be on it? Jeanette: what do we want it to do? JT wants to get away from the Website czar concept. Jack likes KVMR’s website. Get a designer; announce that Website Com is going to meet, and looking for new members. ACTION - Jimmy will convene a meeting, and get suggestions from those possibly interested.
                  B. Pledge Drive Committee – perhaps a chairperson is called for? (Dan and Comfy left at 5:45, and so were absent for discussion on remaining agenda items.)
                  C. Presidential duties, e.g., rotate facilitation of BoD meetings: TBD at Shelter Cove.

She was asked to provide a couple of examples of situations where broadcasters have entered into situations like this one with programmers. Felix: 1) the board received my email re: passings of Chuck Rhone, Robert Crawford. 2) Flickr account deactivated, and we should get those 2 guys represented, and open All Sides Now for condolences. Dan suggested a policy for memorializing. Comfy suggested electronic memorial hanging on the wall. JT thinks the Board should re-invigorate the Website Com.

                    D. News Dept. / Indiegogo funding. RCR has 2500 followers; we want those we don’t know to become members. The campaign ended in June, brought in a few hundred dollars. Q: Do the archives broadcast a “please give” message (in the same way that we want news programs to do)?

                    X.New business
                    A. August Board meeting moved to Monday the 10th.
                    B. Policy Com was requested to remove “ex-officio”, in order to bring RCR back into compliance with changes in the Nonprofit Corporations Code that took effect Jan. 1. The intention of this action is clarify that the Station Manager retains the right to attend and participate at all meetings of the board (except when the board enters executive session), but shall have – as before – no voting powers. Unanimously approved.
                    C. Live broadcast equipment proposal. JT said she can approach businesses to give us this money in exchange for an announcement, and asked for a list of who would be great funders. Jack asked that “battery-powered” be a feature (emergency preparedness). Julia committed to writing a grant if matching funds exist. Jack suggested this be forwarded to Dev’t for further work; unanimously approved.
                    D. Set up of remote studios. Simon: we have equipment that would be fine for talk. For Strategic Plan. Jack suggested a subcommittee. I will write an email. Dan: “Board might not be in favor”?
                    E. Diversity – transgender issues. Board attend training, have a job fair, and one other thing. A professional facilitator may not be needed. Sarah agreed to help facilitate.
