 Treasurer’s report was presented and approved.

 

CORRESPONDENCE

 

1. The VP read a Letter requesting a PSA for MarineMoms Online. He had researched it further and found it to be a commercial driven and not a “not-for-profit” website. Board voted, unanimously to disapprove the request. The Secretary was directed to respond, via email to the requestor, advising the Board’s decision. 

     

 

 

OLD BUSINESS

 

 

1.   Contract. City reps, except for two items essentially accepted the Contract proposal. One, we are not in compliance on having Auto insurance for any vehicles used by MHAT. This must be done. Secretary directed to research our current contract for this item, explore adding such coverage or? and report back. Two, the second channel as requested is still under consideration.

 

2.   Satellite Antennas. One Satellite antenna has been moved. NASA and Classic Arts are working. The satellite antenna, currently stored in the studio should be sold and removed. Deutsche Wella programs need a new receiver, before we continue with that programming. Maybe a sponsor can be found to donate the item.

 

3.   Other equipment. We need new VCR’s. Defer purchase until further review in January  (DVDs?). AV cables are missing on all 3 digital cameras. This item keeps cropping up. By unanimous vote, J. Freeze was nominated as “Property Manager”, charged with establishing a checkout/in procedure and to administer it.

 

NEW BUSINESS

 

4.   The Annual operating budget, submitted and reviewed, was approved.

 

5.   Tapes. Reuse of Tapes was discussed. Purchase of a bulk eraser was discussed. JP to research and report. Tapes to be supplied by producers were discussed. A tape request form was mentioned. It was decided to table further discussion on all tape matters till the January  meeting.

 

6.   Training Program at Adult Education was very successful. Enrolled 10 students. We can see maybe 5 new MACCC members from this effort. Next class scheduled 2/16, 2/18/03.

 

7.   Recycle Tape project with the City and a $3000 fee is still “out there”.

 

8.   Productions

 

  1. Community Center. JF is assembling a “news Team” to cover the Saturday night Ball and any other portions of the new opening that we can.
