 This whole wall under light at once if we want it helps us to have two sets going at once So if you have a talk show and a performer you can do it at the same time Also, we we selected an area on the phone There's an X over there somewhere on the floor and that is for people who want to stand in front of a green screen And speak or in front of any of the curtains and speak and they're they're lit from both sides Have a backlight and everything so it's a real nice lighting situation So we've improved it just a little bit and we added a kinaflow light like that an extra one for the floor We had two and now we have a third one So that means we can light up the green screen behind somebody and then if we want to if they're if we need to light them from head To toe we can do that with that light So it just makes it makes keying a little better and they're just handy lights You can roll them all around thanks to someone who identified a rolling stand. That's the most amazing thing I was right I was an excellent tool And let's see. Do we do another thing? I guess that was it the key no flow. So I was thinking up. We're also We have learned from our co-working people that they feel that the co-working center is too clean It's too zen in there still elegant. There's nothing in it. They feel like they're adrift in a sea of white so I had a designer come in and and Try to develop some ideas that we had and he did come up with some good things We have moved some of the furniture around we are going to be removing the cubicles because no one really wants them They did at first. It's the weirdest thing. Everybody wanted them and then now nobody does So we found something else that we think will work better for there And we're making it a change there the idea is that it would sort of be like a walled garden in there we're going to try to put more greenery on the walls and Not a little more interesting with some fun fun photo realistic murals so it'll look like you're working inside a walled garden and we'll have some plants around and We're working right now to get the we remove the wooden columns that used to be in there that had the power in them And we have electricians working on getting that flat in the floor We do have the building has what's called Walker channels which are Kind of open areas under the floor that you can get to from a port and you can run wires through them So we utilize those to fire up a bunch of the old bank ones that we're sitting there And now we added a few they weren't recessed Like that so they're real hazards. So we're working to get them recessed and We should be doing that soon. Yes, if we're doing all this work have the people Was a little non-zen and they looked at it and thought this would be Zen No, but that Co-working designer expert thought okay, okay. Yeah. Yeah, we're and then we're also doing something to the kitchen The kitchen they described to me as solace Maybe I should bring some of my office. It is a lot of We're just all bring our things from home So that and we have some problems with getting like the dishwasher fills up and it's huge so no one wants to empty it They just want to get their cup and go so we're putting we're looking at putting in two small drawer type ones So one's empty and one's full and quickly put all the cups away That's not a big deal and and you know when you're in there in this the end of the day You're thinking oh my god, I'm going to unload this entire dishwasher so I can put my dirty cup in or shall I just leave So we get a lot of cups left So we're looking at ways to make it efficient and usable which is kind of a challenge because the first thing they told me was well Just put everything in the cupboards It's not gonna work people want to make toast They're not gonna like pull out a toaster plug it in make some toast put it back wipe off the counter That's not gonna happen. So they're working on possibly a u-shaped counter. So we can build in a place for appliances where they can be used and and not be you know Mucking up a whole tiny counter and a bigger refrigerator so we can share it maybe with Armada like a big double door Like restaurant kind so we don't have to refrigerators on opposite sides of the room And we'll probably do some that carpet is really old and and it was always on my list for a place So we're gonna do something on the flooring in there. So anyway, we'll make it fun It'll be a little more loungy and less kitschy and and maybe attract more people No one wants to work or eat in there So so then that's you know kind of cool space to use so we we're not getting enough use out of it So we're doing some we're doing some fun things. It'll be it'll be nice soon. Just wait till next month And I'm just a little more on our equipment grant. We are delivering our equipment to Aftos high school Thursday, so that'll be really fun So we'll launch them into a new a new level of production and we'll get some nice programming for our channel And we're expecting to see something from Watsonville pretty soon now They've had their cook for a couple of months there were holidays in there and stuff So they're still still working on it, but they should be providing us with some sports soon And that's that's my report for very nice or December Can I ask a question about the back to the captioning? Is the YouTube channel? Is that the idea is that is that a stopgap measure until we get to tell you in the live? No, it's part of the system Always intended to do both have to do both the law is you have to stream You have to have captions on live and anything you caption on television has to be captioned on the internet So we have to do three things We have to caption a live thing caption the stream and caption the the archive on line So we're doing we'll be able to do two things right away Now since we got things to we can get to the television channel will have the third, but we're just gonna go We're gonna we're not gonna wait to get the TV thing working We're going ahead and working on getting it at least people most many many people watch it on demand by the internet So we'll and it'll always it's you know that we might as well start with that and Continue to work on the other okay, and did I remember hearing that so the live the live Webstream that's that's tell you is that or the live Wait Victor is the guy to ask how all of this messes together, but well we when we put it live on television, that's where we're not getting captions and That would also be what we would direct to the internet So right now we're not captioning the live stream or the live broadcast Or telecast as this is but we are able to do the rebroadcast and the archive which is great. Yeah, okay, excellent. Thanks Okay, any other questions Rebecca on her report Let's move on last meeting Joe had asked that we put about Item on about progress with meeting with the county and what my thought was we you know We have a new board. We have new county administrators, and it would be good for us to reach out to them We're seeing you saw supervisor Leo polled on there And we actually had a chance to talk about this in the finance committee and I Agreed to contact the city officials although the mayor just got interviewed but some of the staff so they know what we're doing I think some do but they don't know the extent so I'll do that and Matreus was talking about reaching out to some of the county administrators We know some some are brand new and it's just kind of an opportunity to reach out kind of in between You know budgets and in between all the other hurry of what we do So that was really it if somebody brought it up at our finance committee meeting I asked to put it on here and if anybody else has any other ideas It's just kind of a touch base and we used to do this a lot more in past years Because there are more issues to talk about right now. We're actually moving forward So it's probably a good time to show progress to people and Tom Are you going to add anything because you've worked in this kind of no I think you pretty much covered it my thought was just you know It's it's nice to be talking to these to the people who have a vested interest in this When things are going well as opposed to when we have problem So I'll follow up at the city and then we'll just see if I see any of them I'll just mention it to you know my moving around and you can report if you could to the city of Capitola Absolutely as the assistant city manager you can report to yourself Well as my director Kevin gets to he gets to do drive-by as we call him You know normally we want everybody to go through our help desk support system But he gets to come to us directly he gets that that privileges our director So next time he does a drive-by. I'll say oh by the way Okay, we'd love to meet with you Show you what to meet with TV people. Yes. Yeah, great. Well, that was it great. Thank you Unless you had any insights you wanted to add to it Doing good So next up is the oral report from the voluntary advisory committee from the total all right Briefly, I'm going to focus on some of the things that are happening in the studio We have a couple more people that We're guiding through being or becoming or learning to become a producer and We also have some old-timers starting new programs veterans actually Well, I'm one of them so I can okay. Okay. I'll lay to myself on the old I'm doing a connect program. I have a lot of fun with that But we also have Brian doing a new program and his focus is on real estate, which is something, you know, that we've never explored so but our producer director I Would say Guru because she really teaches us a lot. She is put together for a February 18th green screen afternoon where all of us are just gonna Get our hands dirty or not dirty because the green screen, you know, virtually clean virtually virtually we're going to get our hands on the green screen and and Keith and others are playing a major role in Teaching us more about green screen. So that's on February 18th for producers and directors And I must let you know that in one of the programs that I Help produce the future we need and how to get it We use Skype at one time with the woman from the EPA and New York and She was very great. We had some technical issues But we can do Skype on our on our in our studio. So that was really instinct So any producers out there who want to use the studio you can use Skype So then the other thing what we're trying to do and we'll have another VAC meeting soon After all the holidays We'd like to probably incorporate something that has been mentioned by several of our Volunteer coordinators and it's having more field camera people trained And now that we also have the editing teacher doing regular Editing classes on on Saturdays and Sundays, you know, three hours on Sundays three hours on Sundays And he also does photoshop and after effects you know people get a whole packet Together so what we try to do is after our next field camera class on the 20th of April and Some of the editing classes that will get a crew of people together that will go out in the community and Will help not necessarily just do it because you know We try to train people to do it themselves To train and help people who do their own events and help them to record it and edit it so that we kind of get a Multiplier effect of all the effort the efforts that our volunteers are putting in so I would say look for our classes on on the community TV that Rg and the field camera class on the 20th and then let's get that You know crew together that goes out and Keith of course when he does Non-profit spotlight he goes out and he took a gene Kratzer last time You know this is a practice to go out and and have a little rolling clip for the program You know take here in the studio. So we'd like to You know our next best effort is to really because more people are comfortable going outside with cameras Because it takes a lot doing the programs in here Of course, you know PSA's are still happening for non-profit spotlights for non-profit organizations We have non-profit spotlights and we have the electives That you do every month. It's just a really nice program. So that's basically my report Great. Excellent. Thank you. Unless you of course want to add some things No, if you could help me yes names of volunteers, I forgot to write them all down before we started The only thing I wanted to mention and the next item the board chair report is that we are planning to have a Specific orientation for nonprofit organizations here in the county. We get contacted Most a lot of contacts we get from nonprofits are saying could you cover our event and CTB used to do that, but we don't have staff to do that anymore So we want to train nonprofits who want to get them together to help each other to cover field events Of course, we're happy to charge people to cover the events, but most nonprofits we understand don't have a large budget so we Intend to do that the the main thrust is going to be to Help nonprofits understand what they need to do to cover events in the field and that our studio is available They could take classes and learn just like anyone else to produce from programs that we have a PSA day every month We have nonprofits spotlight We have other we have a community calendar that they can all these things are on our website They can use the community calendar and then finally want to do something with the nonprofits to give them an example Of how they can use their phone to do a public service so we're thinking of ending the orientation with Something they could take away a skill that they could learn of how to do their own just a simple PSA Because our channels are available to anyone and those in this county to upload the material and our run our channels So if they could quickly do something to say hey, we're having an event on the 15th and everyone will have a great time Come on down and upload it. We'd love to see that from more nonprofits. What is the date for that? Well, it was supposed to be Wednesday, but we haven't made it so we're hoping to have it early for everywhere Okay, so let's see on the agenda the next item our Staff requests or board requests for specific items to appear on the next meeting agenda.
