Tony Gattenby was a guest of Board Member G. Berger's. Tony has

well and truly grateful.

Correspondence – Vice President Dwan passed along a message from
CMAP in Gilroy (who in turn had received it from the Alliance for
Community Media) concerning possible legislation (Bills S1349 and
H3146) which have the potential to do away with funding for
Community Television Stations across the Country. Interested
parties are encouraged to call their US Senators and Representatives
and oppose these bills.

Treasurers Report – Given by Board Member G. Berger in person and
Board Member
C. Berger via telephone. Moved to accept by Board Member von Tagen

Minutes of July meeting. Amended minutes were presented by Board
Member von Tagen. There being no other corrections, it was moved by
Board Member G. Berger and seconded by Board Member Snow to accept
the minutes. Passed unanimously.

OLD BUSINESS

Board Member Leaman reported that batteries for the Canon Camcorder
are on order and are expected to arrive before the next meeting.

Board Member Liegl asked for any comments on the Proposed Policies
and Procedures. Board Member G. Berger handed him some written
questions which Board Member Liegl said he would look over before
the presentation of the P&P's in September.

The timeline for the upcoming elections were discussed. Board and
Officer Nominations are to be presented at the September meeting
with voting (and any last minute nominations) to occur during the
Annual Membership meeting in October. Anyone wishing to nominate
someone for either Board Membership or for an Officer of the Board
(President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary) please contact
Vice President Jack Dwan, preferably before the September meeting.

NEW BUSINESS

It was proposed that we have a "lottery" among the Board
Members
that each one be responsible for one month for office clean-up. It
was also brought up at this point by Board Member Liegl that our
vacuum cleaner is broken. It was asked of Board Member Liegl to
price out a replacement and report back to the board. No action was
taken on the lottery suggestion.

Board Member Snow mentioned that Gavilan Teacher Jim Frazier would
like to discuss getting Gavilan Television programming on the
channel. He will follow up and report.

Board Member G. Berger requested that an assessment of current
equipment be done so as to be able to distribute any excess
equipment. This should be completed by November 1st.

STANDING COMMITTEE REPORTS

POPPY JASPER - Board Member Bush reports that hopefully PJFF will
cover expenses. The biggest issue right now is money, due to the
unexpected expenses this year of having to rent the community
center. The meetings of the PJFF will be increasing, and they are
receiving "lots of films" for consideration. Otherwise they
are
right on target with where they expect to be.

Board Member Bush also mentioned that George Panos would like to act
as an interviewer for MHAT during the PJFF.

MHAT - Board Member Liegl reported on the following for MHAT:

1. A meeting with Morgan Hill Mayor Dennis Kennedy which
resulted in MHAT and MACCC being asked to submit a Proposal for the
operation of the Granada Theatre in Downtown Morgan Hill. This is
based on the possibility of the Theatre being turned over to the
City by the current leaseholder. As the request for proposal was
asked for on very short notice, Board Member Liegl and von Tagen
wrote and submitted one to the city. We are currently awaiting
feedback/ further information from the City before making the next
move. It was reminded to the Board that the final decision to
proceed or not would be up to the Board to make.

2. Cinema Espresso is making progress.

3. Tassandra Tales is going for grants, and Board Member Liegl
requested help in finding a red barn he could photograph for the
show.

4. Sobrato High School is proceeding. Board Member Liegl has
been asked to be a guest lecturer.

5. The Production Control now has an operating Waveform Monitor
and a Vector scope – both of which came from the equipment
donated
by KTEH and fixed by Board Member Liegl.

6. The Summer Training schedule has been cancelled. There was
only one participant, who missed two classes in row. Training will
be reconvened hopefully in the fall.

7. The July 4th Parade is still in its post production phase.
Bob and Maureen Hunt, the parade organizers stopped by to view what
we had and were reportedly pleased with what they saw.

8. The Set in the studio still needs to be finished, and is
proceeding slowly.

Vice President Dwan reported on the downtown taping. While pleased
with the new studio in a box we have, he reported only 2 volunteers
from MHAT and 1from CMAP showed up for the production, which gave
them a "lack of crew". He made it a point to say that we
need "new
blood" for crew volunteers and that he hopes that training can
eventually provide that.

Two items were brought before the Board for discussion and possible
future consideration;

The Board consider breaking the meeting into three parts – one
for
MACCC business, one for MHAT business, and one for PJFF. This was
discussed and decided to leave it as is for now and let the next
Board to revisit if they felt it necessary.

There was a general feeling of consensus on the issue of having a
board policy to having a due date for the posting of the agenda and
the minutes of the previous meeting. This too was left for further
discussion sometime in the near future.

There being no more business before the board, the meeting was
adjourned at 7:58 p.m.

Next meeting is on September 7th, 2005 at 7:00 p.m. at the MHAT
studios. See you there!

Respectfully submitted

Walter von Tagen III
Acting Secretary
