4. Public Forum; Invitation to members of the public to address the public with regard to issues what are not on the agenda. Limited to 3 minutes each.
• Buck Stoval expressed concern regarding commercial use on public access television. He submitted a letter to the Advisory Board. It was suggested that the board discuss underwriting policies at a future meeting. After researching the matter, Lew concluded that there is no conflict of interest to underwrite a specific program.
5. Station update - Lew
• The station received a carpet donation for the studio.
• NCTV is offering a production class for local non-profits in December, 12 people have already signed up.
• Sierra College is offering a course @ NCTV in January
• Underwriter development is going well. Board members who are elected officials cannot raise money for the station.
• NCTV has completed 4 of the 8 shows for the series on Meth.
• NCTV has completed the 1st show on Emergency Preparedness
• NCTV will execute a membership drive in the late spring or early summer.
• Operations Manager: Francis is resigning from her position with NCTV. The FT position w/ benefits has been posted with no closed date. Currently Terri is working 2 days a week and Robyn 3 days a week until the position is filled. Once the govt. meetings begin to air and the Comcast funding is finalized Lew will consider hiring a part-time staffer to support the Ops. Manager. Lew requested that several of the board members participate in the interview process. Chuck and Sally volunteered.
• Telethon: NCTV’s telethon to support local non-profits raised 60,000 dollars. The telethon enhances NCTV’s image and adds value to the community. The feedback received was very positive. An article in the Union provided a breakdown on the donations. Some organizations did not receive any money. Future telethons: It was suggested that agency leaders should be coached on techniques to make the most of the NCTV telethon in the future. Specifically on the importance of partnering with board members to support funding. It was also expressed that NCTV consider taking a % of the funds raised to cover admin. Costs. However, due to the fact that everyone who participated in the “Day of Giving” volunteered their time it is unlikely that the station will do this. Lew has also considered a county-wide day of giving for all local non-profits in which all local media outlets would participate.
• Comcast Negotiations: Terry is visiting Debbie Lipold (w/ Comcast) in Oregon. The goal is to conclude that contract and then present it to the cities and county for review. NCTV is close to finalizing the contract.
Meeting Minutes and Agenda:
• We are not legally under the Brown Act but the advisory board will abide by it.
• Talking points for the meeting need to be specific and forwarded to Lew in order to be added to the agenda.
• The public can only talk for 3 minutes without discussion.
Action Items
7. Next meeting to be January 19th, 2006 5:30 p.m. Cancel the December meeting unless Comcast Contract is complete.
8. Meeting adjourned at 7:07 pm.
This agenda was posted at least 72 hours in advance of the meeting NCTV office, 161 Nevada City Highway, Nevada City, California, in accordance with the Brown Act.
Respectfully submitted,
Elisa Parker, Secretary
