3. Public Forum. No members of the public were present.
Action Items
Moved (Rogers/Parker) to restructure the existing Advisory Board of NCTV to include only government representatives (effective at the end of this meeting). Passed unanimously.
Reports
Executive Director’s report:
1. July 4th Parade earned about $2000 in underwriting.
2. ROP: very disappointing news that the ROP class at NCTV was cancelled due to low enrollment, which we did not learn about until it was too late. Poor promotion on the part of ROP seems to be the cause. We could have done our own promotion had we known.
3. Lew reported on staffing issues related to taping the city council meetings for Grass Valley and Nevada City.
4. NCTV Grand Open House: August 30th. Lew reported on the details.
5. Budget report: Lew discussed the 2006-07 and 2007-08 budgets. Our fiscal outlook looks good.
6. Joe Greenstreet, a local accountant, has agreed to handle PEEF’s books for a very low fee per year.
7. It appears as if a large science grant will come under the PEEF umbrella and create administrative fee income for PEEF that can be allocated toward time for Lew, a bookkeeper, etc.
David discussed the need to identify new potential PEEF board members and the types of people we would look for. He has asked Lew to develop a new fund-raising strategy by late Fall of 2007. David suggests a structure with committee and chairs to support PEEF activities and tasks.
Judy Nielsen stated that signatories will need to be changed on the PEEF checking account.
This is the last official meeting of the NCTV Advisory Board. Several members of this Board were elected to the PEEF board prior to this meeting. NCTV business will now be conducted as part of the PEEF organization.
7. Next meeting as PEEF board will be Sept. 20, 2007, 6pm. Lew and Elisa will not be present. Bylaw revisions will be on the next agenda.
8. Moved (Rogers/Parker) to adjourn at 7:05 p.m.
