Okay Uh, anything else in public comment Oral communication. All right Our oral communications not nearly as exciting as the board of supervisors or the city councils. I must say But um, we kind of like it that way Um, so we can move on to item three, uh consideration of late additions to the agenda additions and deletions Are there any, uh additions or deletions that we need to make to the agenda? All right, seeing none. We can move on to the consent agenda Which is items four and five item four is to approve the minutes of our last board meeting of october 26 2020 And item five is to approve the recommendation of the finance committee to accept the october 2020 financial reports Would our finance committee chair or our um, our vice chair First the finance committee chair. All right. Would you like to comment at all on those financial reports? Well, since I was late, I will keep it short the most important part of it's in becca's report So we'll leave it there in terms of our cash flow off the rental of the offices. So Other than that, uh, we're here, which is great news. One other thing we still don't have The uh, ideal loan. It's one of the sba loans that were done under the cares act We qualified I let becca talk about that but just so you're up to date on where we are Anyhow, uh, I don't have any other comments unless there's some questions Thank you very much Mr. Treasurer allow me chair. Yes, vice chair and please my last act During my term. I would like to uh, propose that we approve the consent agenda um, I Sorry to interrupt. I I have a small correction on the minutes Go ahead Under Under number seven oral report from volunteer advisory committee just to set the record so the record is clear That's I I did not That was not my comment. I'm guessing it was Keith's it was it was my that's a that's a typo. Thank you for pointing out Yeah, sorry Then I would like as my last act in my term on the board Uh propose that we approve the consent agenda with the slight correction in the minutes I'll second that All right, we have a motion from uh, vice chair rand and a second from director manheim Any further comment? I have a comment actually Since director rand usually is very quick to move adjournment I would suggest that maybe this is the pen ultimate Move Well, I can't I cannot enjoy the meeting because basically after this item, I am no longer on the board. Okay. Well after the next item Yes, after the next item That you're assuming that you know, we could have writing candidates Somebody could nominate you you might not be you might not escape And who knows that the new chair may uh decide to to assume dictatorial powers and Overthrow the election. Okay. Well, we have a motion to second. Is there any for the comment on on this consent agenda? All right, seeing none secretary, would you kindly call the roll? director rand Yeah director odrisco Yes chair maziars I director manheim yes director guzzard Yes director lanyan Yes director hall Yes director rand yes approved unanimously. All right. Thank you very much. All right. Well moving on I know we're probably all suffering from some election fatigue But uh, we have one more election. Hopefully it'll be less contentious. Um, it is not as of as As much international import as the one that we just survived or still surviving through But uh item number six is the election of officers to the board of directors of the board of directors of community television um Do we have a proposed slate of Officers i'm looking at you director manheim Oh really? Oh, nobody i'm told i'm told it's i'm told it's the custom Oh, okay. Well then in that case, um since I Happened to notice that the check signing policy lists a new slate of characters. Let me Not the check signing policy. It was the resolution. Sorry Let me propose that Our new board consists of guilinier as board chair who I think will do a terrific job Joe hall as treasurer who has and hopefully will continue to do a terrific job Uh mitrea maziers as our vice chair stepping down one peg Who's done a terrific job as chair and I think will be a good second in command And larry larenza secretary who continues to do a great job on our you just got a promotion from good to great I don't know if you heard that larry on our secretary So that would be I would propose that slate of four nominees to lead us over the next year Second we have a motion from director manheim and a second from director gudger any comments from board members on that director hall actually, I think it's kind of A day of importance because on the federal level they're starting a transition and here we're doing it on the same day. So it's Kind of a good omen for the future Very good. All right. Well before I Ask the vote to be called. I would like to say a few things. I just want to thank everybody for your patience This was definitely An honor and a privilege to serve as board chair for the last two years you know I I certainly appreciate everybody's support and all of your guidance. I certainly couldn't have done it You know held it together without A lot of hand-holding. So I'm very grateful for that and I'm glad that I get to continue serving the board in a Another slightly diminished capacity So if there's no other further comment, I'll ask our A great secretary to call the roll So director odriskel yes director manheim Yes, director gudger Yes, director linie Yes, director hall Yes, and so let me just make this director rand is no longer on the board. Is that Not until the wait. She isn't told the vote is No, no, no, no, I think I think uh, I am off the board Uh, because Usually what you would have done at this point. You would have said goodbye to me and you would have Our new person from watsonville, but she's not here today. So you'll do that in january But you would just say goodbye to me and and you are your own team now And I wish you lots of uh success not luck because you have that already success I beg to differ a little point of order Which is until we have voted for and have a new Leadership group you're still on the board, aren't you? That makes sense to me Yeah I'll be happy to vote on this because I like I like the team of officers If if director lorenz wants to call on me, I'll be happy to vote director ran. Yes I Yes, I that was a big omission former Vice chair emeritus ran Thank you so much for all of your jovial service on the board and and you know Like director gudger a tireless volunteer in all of your contributions to community television cataloging all the equipment you know beyond serving on the board here and and being the the hawk eyes on the minutes and and In many other ways your service on the board is appreciated and and I'm looking forward to your continued uh member, you know Involvement in the organization as a member and I'm sure you'll stay on the volunteer advisory committee and and Things like that.

So i'm glad you're going to be with us and I did help k-squid and it was thanks to your uh your endeavor and But so you're a two media person and I hope you were able to spend a little of your media time still with us Maybe we can create a special role of queen of all media and I think it's called multimedia.

I'll second All right, we have a motion by director maziars and a second by director odrisco to accept the The committee roster community television committee roster As stated with an amendment by director maziars I guess secretary larryan can call the roll director hall Yes, director gudger Yes director manheim Yes director maziars Yes director odrisco Yes director larryan Yes chair lanye Yes All right, that is passed and so ordered Let's see, I'm scrolling here Um, I guess next on the agenda is item number eight approval of the 2021 board calendar meetings calendar And We have that in our packet as well that the fourth monday Standing of each month Let's see May works out because normally we had a conflict in may But this year memorial day is on the 30th No, right I see okay um, so we have a suggested calendar in the packet Our next meeting would be January 25th To review the current year budget at half your mark including any adjustments Um, any Um, objections suggestions Thank you for that director gudger We have a motion on the calendar I happily move that We adopt this as our calendar for the 21 2021 year And we have a second I'll second Okay Moved by director manheim and seconded by director gudger to approve the 2021 board calendar Secretary called the roll Yes, um director driscoll Yes Director gudger Yes Director manheim Yeah Director maziars Yes Director hall Yes Director lorette. Yes and chair lanye Yes Okay, so that is approved and so ordered Let's see here Scrolling through Um, now we have item number nine approved the recommendation of the governance committee to adopt the amended check signing policy and this has to do with some of our coveted precautions and E signatures On checks that require two signatures in order to Move things forward Any discussion I was just going to I was just going to comment that it's um, I think we view this as something we discovered through the coveted addressing coveted But we want to make this a permanent change Allowing the second signature the board members signature board officers signature to be done electronically Okay I had a question After the yellow part it says The signed stub will be attached to the invoice I wanted to try and understand what that means when one signature at least is going to be a DocuSign How does that work? Uh, I can comment on that since I've been doing that. Yeah, and I neglected that is a also a change When I prepared the agenda, I neglected to highlight that That was part of our temporary policy. So, uh the The stub of the the check stub is what is docusigned by the officer so Mel had been providing me with A scan of the check stub and the actual supporting documentation, which is the bill For which the check stub you know is Record of payment. So I was docusigning the the check stub Rather than the actual check So she was scanning the the check stubs and the bills and I was docusigning the the check stubs electronically So I can I can share my screen and show an example if that would help After you sign it on docusign, what does she attach to the invoice? Um, no, it's attached to the invoice in docusign Okay So there's no physical attachment No, it's part of one, uh docusign lingo. They call an envelope um Would you like me to share? So I'm just trying to correlate it with the old practice because it says the executive director still must sign it in person That's why I read this. Is that true? I still do that yeah It's the it's the Board wrap that docusigns And so Becca signs the check Yeah And I I docusign the the invoice to I docusign that and then then it goes to matriah and he gets the docusign the thing that I docusign plus the check goes to ghee that goes to ghee And then he gets the then actually could go to me because I'm the vice chair. So and and we're saying officer so or could go to joe and um, so That's just sort of a second approval to sign the check and then I find the check So maybe um Keith to make it less ambiguous. Maybe the signed the e-signed stub with that with the electronically signed stub with that disambiguate that sentence better Well, I thought you were saying the e-sign stub is electrically electronically attached to the check document. It's not physically attached to the check Whereas attached to the invoice Right Becca's signed My signature is real Yeah, and it shows up On the invoice And then there's actually a check stub a physical check stub attached to invoice when the check is sent off I just wanted to get it clear. What's what is physically attached and what is virtually attached? That's all And then well then mel takes that all and makes it I believe physical I puts it in a and keeps it in our backup Oh, actually it gets saved in QuickBooks But it's scanned or something or it's yeah Yeah um, would would you like me to try to bring up An example would that be helpful? I don't need to see it. I just want to know what the process is that we're agreeing to Okay You should be on the governance committee then I have a I have a I have a question too, uh, latreya and tom you can help me on the memory Up on the first paragraph Kind of the third sentence that says or in the absence of the executive director I thought instead of saying the assistant director, we put the designee of the executive director. Yeah, we did Yeah, it's there, but I didn't highlight it. Yeah, it's there in the uh, text It's it's it's there in the minute text, but I didn't I didn't highlight it Oh mend it. Okay. Okay. I was okay. Got it. Oh, I take your Got it For the executive directors designee. Yeah, right. Yeah Okay, um Can I make a suggestion? I hate to um, but given Uh, Keith's question about this I think it would be clear to say the electronically just add the word electronically Before the word sign so it would breed the electronically signed stub will be attached to the invoice Hey, okay As long as that's okay with the governance committee Yes, yes, yes So we could have a motion to accept this with the amended language by director manheim Tom, do you want to make that motion? Be happy to make the motion. I'll second Okay, we have a motion by director manheim seconded by director maziars to accept the governance committee amendment to check signing policy with the amendment that um The electric electronically signed stub will be attached to the invoice adding the word electronically Is that stated correctly? Okay Um, call the question Yeah Yeah, director driscoll. Yes director gudger Oh, yeah director manheim. Yes director maziars I director hall Yes, director loren. Yes chair maize straight chair lanyay. Sorry It'll take a couple times. Yeah Okay Moved and so ordered. Um I think we are at the executive director's report. Am I right? We have a resolution one more one more order of business is the the check not the check signing but the um number 10 The folks who can uh, who are on the bank accounts Oh, um Well, that's not listed on the agenda. Um, oh Yeah, he sent an amended agenda. Oh, if you don't have the amended, I'm sorry Um, as chair, would you like me to read the item? Okay, so, uh, yeah item 10 on the amended agenda the rise agenda was consider adopting board resolution 003 dash 2020 Which is the approval of authorized signatures for the bank account. So that basically, um adds you Chair lanyay and drops Emeritus vice chair rand Okay I'll move We adopt the resolution I second Okay, we have a motion by director gudger and seconded by director olbrisco to adopt the resolution adding Adopt the resolution And so we call the question Secretary call the order Uh, director hall Yes, director maze yards All right, director manheim. Yeah Director gudger. Yes, director odrisco. Yes, director laren. Yes chair lanyay. Yes All right. Thank you very much So now we are at The new item 11 Which is a report by the executive director Okay, all right, thanks Okay, so this is my report for october and um as uh Joe mentioned we are in the pipeline for an eidl loan but um We've been sitting still in the pipeline for a while and they've checked back in with me and complimented us on providing everything Precisely as they like it and all of the potential things But nothing has happened and they say to me well, you're in funding And that doesn't mean funded so um We're waiting still but they haven't said no they say we're approved So I think it might be waiting for money in that pipeline But um, we're still we're still in there. We're in the game at this point on the ppp We expect our loan will be forgiven because we meet all of qualifications for forgiveness The government has issued new streamline reporting guidance for loans under 50 000 and our loan was 32 So we're right in there, but they haven't released the guidance yet They've instructed us to wait for a letter for them And they will give us um like a one page form to fill out. So what we think is That there are so many of these little loans. They don't have the wherewithal to audit them all They're just going to want us to certify what we did with it and that they'll probably Check on them do a spot check kind of thing So um, we're waiting and as soon as we get that, um, we'll we'll move forward. Mel is ready We've got all our numbers and we're ready to go On co-working um Our break-even number as you know is like 10 000 a month that we've adjusted for this time of coven and um Our projection for september was 9500, but we only earned five On paper we actually earned more, but we have one A large client who pays net 30 And so even though we send them a bill, uh, they they don't give us their credit card They're a big big group So they don't give us a credit card like everyone else usually we just run everybody's credit card on the 28th But for these guys we send an invoice and then they don't pay it for a long time So um, they paid us in november. So we do have uh, so we bounce back So, um In uh, october we were low But uh, we're rebounding and in november we've earned 11627 when i wrote this on the 16th. So we're we're We're coming back. It's okay. It just looks terrible um Underpaid services we had 18 government meetings in september or Sorry october that says september, but that's not true. Sorry. I forgot to fix that And uh, we did um six webinars in october We've installed the caption equipment for the city of santa cruz, which is a good first step And it is captioning. Um We have some unusual technical issues with it still it's not quite doing what we want, but um Victor feels like he'll have it fixed pretty soon. It's it's Captioning on tv, but not streaming captions. So we'll get that fixed Um, we think it's a comcast thing. So victor's working with comcast um under um mission programming we have Created a new program called joining me now, which is an interview show As an intern project and our three interns have been working away on it Each one of them is producing their own episodes. So they're learning everything they've learned how to find good guests how to Identify a good guest and then they they called all their their potential guests and figured out which ones would be the best for television and have created List of questions and at this point we have actually I've done all the interviews and they are now editing their Their show together and today They gave me the open that they've created and I want to show it to you if I can Let's see. I'm going to share my screen and I think it's right here. Can you hold on one second while I get some popcorn? This is my favorite thing because we have never really had a real good crop of interns all the time We've been open. We've never been able to get any to come And now in the pandemic they're coming and they all were disappointed that we couldn't open the studio, but Um, they're still doing a great job. So we're doing this remotely So let me share the screen. Where are the interns from? We oh, wow one from San Jose state and two from ucse. Oh, cool Yeah, it's pretty fun. So this is what they made Let's see. Here we go Nice I thought they did a really good job And they did it they did it pretty much by themselves I gave them a template, but they filled all the pictures in and made it work and did the music and Yeah, I'm really happy with with their work. They did it all Without coming together physically. Yeah, they all they worked at home on adobe cloud So it's been it's weird, but it's worked. We did all the interviews on Except for one we did two we've done all the interviews on zoom one of our subjects You probably you may know him Curtis Relaford Drives around with the big truck. He doesn't have any technology. So he came into the rsvp So he was uh, he and set it up for him and then he went in by himself And we did the interview and then at the end of the interview instead of ending the recording I ended the meeting and I disappeared and he was in the room by himself I I was trying to call him to let him out of the room and I and I couldn't get Ian to answer the phone and I was like, oh this poor guy, but He is very self-sufficient. He left the room on his own It was it worked out. Okay, but it made me feel bad. So That that happened, but it was um other than that it went really well. We got three great people. We got um Uh a wildlife of kind of noted wildlife photographer um in town jody Deani jody freddy ony. Yeah, she was a great guest and we've got great photos She let us use all her award-winning photos And we also interviewed the executive director from the sea odyssey Who has a really interesting backstory so great shows? I think and um are there parameters where they had to be people in santa cruz county and they had to be I was you know, they had to be interesting Which is kind of broad but they did a good job now because I did that I have lost my Meeting notes.
