 Hi Janice. You got power. Yeah. Not my cheat, but I got power. What's your gas out or? No, I live in an uninsulated house. Oh, the worst thing for me is cold wind, which is what we have. Told me it was blowing really hard in the west side and it really didn't blow much here in Live Oak. I was shocked. We lived down by the beach, but it wasn't blowing at all hardly. Yeah, where I am, the gusts have been really strong. I'm in Live Oak too, but I'm further away from the ocean, I think. And when the gusts comes, it's very strong. Well, my furnace isn't working, so it's kind of chilly. Yep. And there's no way we're having a repair person in the house. Don't you have a wood stove though, Keith? I do have a wood stove. We'll be using wood. We have lots of wood. Trees are always falling down, right? Yep, they're always falling down. I just got to cut them up. I hope there are any near you. They say about making wood that it warms you twice, right? Well, it warms me three times because it's, most of them are down quite a ways down the hill for me, so bringing them up is the second time. Well, the last tree in my yard went down last winter. So it'll have to, something will have to work hard. I'm not wishing for it. I don't know. Did you hit me now? Keith, maybe you said this already. You're up rodeo Gulch road. Yes. How far up are you? Two and a quarter miles. I don't know if you know where Hidden Valley is. We're past Hidden Valley. Yeah, but it's driveway. You need a four wheel drive to get up. That was quite an adventure finding your house. It's not that bad. You don't have a four wheel drive, Keith? Oh no. We drive a fish at little O'Connell boxes, electric car, hybrid. Well, you need a small car like mine or yours to get up and down the driveway. It's like a skateboard track. I mean, it is pretty amazing when I went up there to drop off some stuff. I just said, wow. This is like an adventure in itself, just getting here. And I live at the bottom of the road in the low rent district. The people on the top have the multi-man dollar views. More wind though. Yeah, but they get sunrises and sunset. We never see sunrise and sunset. The sun's already down 15 minutes ago here. Oh wow, you really are low. Wow, that is early. And that also means there are no signals here. We get some radio, but we never have gotten any television or anything. It was kind of a cool way to raise our kids with no music. That's what I was thinking. We had to hide ours during the week. We had a little one and we put it in the trunk of the Volkswagen because they took it to work. Well, these days, I mean, you know, the kids have to do their schoolwork. You know, my, my girlfriends got school-age kids. And so they've got, you know, they've got Chromebooks to do their schoolwork on and they have iPads and they're on Waldorf kids. So they're supposed to be not doing any devices, you know, if, you know, if anybody had a hard time transitioning to online, it's going to be the Waldorf school where it's all wood and touchy feely. They managed to do it somehow. I sometimes unplug wifi to see how long it takes for, for the, for the, before they start to get angry. Usually it's about three minutes. That's kind of the, you know, something wrong with it. I don't know. I don't know. Larry, you need a hobby. Oh, that, no, that's my hobby. They're teenagers. That's all I got. Maybe you could just throttle it periodically. Yeah, but that affects me too. Let's face it. Well, so does disconnected. Yeah, but it'll be in time when I'm not using it. You know, so. It's amazing how quick they, they bolt out of their rooms. And I don't do it when they're in school. I'm going to call this meeting to order. Looks like we're. Sorry. Looks like we're waiting for Elizabeth. I'm not sure I haven't heard from her. We may or may not get her. Just for the new folks, David and Christina welcome. My name is G. And I'm the, the chair. And this is my first meeting. Officiating at, I guess, or I guess I officiated it part of the last one. So we'll see how it goes. So I'll call this meeting of the board of directors of community television to order. It is January 25th, 502. And with the secretary call the roll. Yes. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Director Macy ours.

Yes, Christina. Thank you. Watsonville representative term expiring at the end of this year. Thanks so much for joining us. And then David Warren. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. As, as nominated as a net large representative. And his term is expiring. What will expire at the end of 2023. And I want to thank both of you for joining us. We're really excited to have you as part of the board. The bios were included as part of the. The agenda. And we're just stoked that you're with us. Thank you. I'm very excited to be on board. So thank you so much for that warm welcome. And I'm looking forward to learning from all of you and contributing. Great. Thank you. And I'd like to thank you Christina for joining our board. It's been a while since we've had a Watsonville rep. And we really, really appreciate your joining. Thank you so much. I'd like to echo that it's both, it's really exciting to have you guys coming on board. Well, I just want to say I'm excited too. And I'm, I'm honored to be a part of this group and work on the mission of community TV. Great. Well, thank you both. That's great. I will entertain and. Do I do this together or do we do them separately? Any parliamentarians here? I'm inclined to do them together. Okay. I will entertain a motion to accept the, or to elect the new board members. What from Watsonville, Christina, and at large, David Warren. I move. Right, Janet. So just called. Moves and it looks like Keith gudger second. Couple of seconds. And all of those in favor. Say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Can I ask a quick question? We were doing the roll call votes because of meeting online. I think do we need to still do that? Pretty sure that's a branch requirement. I think so we just so for, we've. Continue to do those even for kinds of wrote things. Consent. I think it's probably a good idea. In the interest of. Crossing our eyes and dining our teas. Let's do that. Okay. Chair Launay. Yes. Director Maziar's. Aye. Director Hall. Aye. Director Loren. Aye. Director Driscoll. Aye. Director Shaw. Aye. Director Gudger. Yes. How about director Mannheim? Can I vote? Oh, no. Sorry. I thought I skipped the director. Sorry, director Mannheim. Affirmative. All right. Well, welcome both. Yay. And I have two little comments. David, I knew from. Because I taught there at night for. A couple of decades. I thought I recognized you and I read this. Oh, there it is. And Christina. Just want to let you know, I graduated from UCLA in 1967. So you have a heritage graduate on the board with you. Oh, that's great. Thank you. If we're going down memory lane, David, I just have to tell you, you know, Al Holberg or did you, did you work with him at Cabrillo when he was doing computers? Yes, I did. Yes. I worked closely with him. Way back in the day, I was a reporter at KSPW and I, I got an opportunity to do a two part story on this new thing called computers. And I worked with him on the board and. Convinced the station to allow us to put a computer in our bureau and went out and bought a Commodore 64. Oh, Jesus. That's older than what I graduated from you. So no. Well, welcome both of you now. Can participate in, in. Anything else we do. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Now I will move on to the report of our executive director. Okay. Thank you guys. This is my report for November and December since we don't meet in, in December. I'll cover both those meetings here. First, we have applied for the under financials. So we're eligible to get about $15,000. We got notified today that we're on their wait list. So we'll be in round two instead of round one. I believe. And we are still, our status is still funding at the, for the EIDL loan. And I did get a letter. I think I told you last time from the government saying we're in the pipeline. It's just taken a long time. And it's just been a long time since we've been in the pipeline. And we're still not paying for it. So I'm just saying to the new members, what the idea alone is. That's the federal government's loan for. For COVID. Relief. And it is a, this, this in our case, it's $150,000 loan. It's a very, a very low interest and long payback loan. It's sort of like a mortgage. And we are. We may or may not want to use it, but it's a very low interest and long payback loan. And we can use it for whatever we need. It's not restricted. We didn't qualify. We don't qualify for the second round of PPP funding. Sadly, but for a good reason, we didn't lose enough money to qualify. So we're worried. That's kind of, that's the good news part of that. We expect our original loan will be forgiven. And we've been waiting for guidance from the government because we've been working with the government. We've been working with the government. We've been working with the government. And we're just reporting if you've got less than $50,000. And we did. But it, we used it all for payroll. It's one form. So we're just going to upload it and go ahead without waiting for the streamline version because it is pre pretty streamlined in our case anyway. Let's see. And then moving down to coworking. Our break even number in the co-working center is $10,000 a year. In the last couple of years, we earned $15,000. And in December, we earned 10,000. But in November, it was an abnormally high. Number because in, someone was paying for October in November and someone paid for December in no, in November. So it evens out in the end, but it looked very exciting at first. On paid services. We, as a, for, for new board members, we, one of the services that we provide the county and it is a revenue stream is that we cover government meetings. And we did 16 in November and in 11 in December and cover is a TV technical word. So I will rephrase that. We record them and then we telecast them on television. And we also do webinars now because so many of the commissions and agencies in our area can't meet in person. We developed a webinar platform where they come and meet and we host their webinars. And so we've been doing, we've been doing that. We did the, I think, I think we did. Oh, I, oh, somehow it. We did six webinars in November and six in December. And from now on, we're going to, we've gotten some new business recently. So we'll be hosting webinars for the Santa Cruz County Board of supervisors. We started doing that in January where we'll be hosting health services. There are press conferences. We've already done one and we'll continue to do those. They do a couple of months and we're also going to be hosting webinars for public works and the planning department. And we just got a request today to do some town hall meetings for the county. So we're going to do a lot of webinars and we do those webinars live. We actually, we also stream them to Facebook and YouTube and then, and also on our channels. And we've got so many now we've had to get another account so we can do them all at the same time. Many of them happen. At the same time slot. So we under facilities and equipment, not a lot happened, but we have a new computer for our accountant. Under mission programming, we did, we completed our intern program in December and we produce three, the interns produce three programs and they're supposed to air. I think I have written here that they're supposed to air in January. I believe now it's February though. So we'll have three episodes of a show called joining me now. And we interviewed three. And we're going to talk about some interesting people from our community. Jody, Freddie, Annie is a wild, wild life photographer, Rachel Kippen, who's an environmental activist. She also is the, um, ED for sea Odyssey and Curtis Relliford, who's a humanitarian and you may see him around town in a big truck, raising funds. If you don't see him, you'll hear him. Yeah. Yeah. He goes by my house late at night. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's always fun music. And so he raises a lot of money in town and a lot of people see him and we thought, um, the intern that wanted to do his story thought that, you know, we see him, but we don't know a lot about him. So, uh, she tracked him down. She actually had to find him by just looking around in real physical space. She was unable to get him through, um, a phone or a website. And she found him. So she's going to be a good reporter. She's intrepid. We're very proud of her. She got a good grade. So, um, on social media for, uh, the Corona vice, we still have ship been sharing the press releases with the public and, uh, and, and with, with, uh, we've been sharing the press releases from public health and the governor on our of our social media channels. And now we're recording their health conference. So we're putting those on, uh, obviously our channels, so we put links in social media and also on our website. And, um, in co-working, we've implemented a new social media strategy that Ian is working on. He's putting, um, where we've created some, uh, a more of a branded look. And he is posting informative contact on a schedule to engage our audience there and hopefully to, um, it's directed that entrepreneurs and solopreneurs and that sort of thing. So, um, up until now, it had just been sort of random stuff about co-working, which wasn't very effective. So we've got, um, this more targeted plan and we'll let you know how it works out or how it's, how it's moving forward next month. We're also doing the same thing for the studio. We actually have a separate website for the studio that directed more to professionals and, um, and not, not, uh, not members like of our community, uh, television station that want to makes things for the community, but professionals in the community that want to make things for others. And so we are developing the same strategy for social media for them, uh, coming up with interesting content about what's going on in production or in equipment or just that sort of thing that will be intriguing for them and different trainings and, and, um, we're, we've found a lot of interesting information. So we're sharing it there and we'll let you know how that strategy works. Um, in outreach, we are working, we got an opportunity. The youth grant committee has been working on putting together a sort of a pandemic version of our youth grant. I think we reported that out to you last time we met and now we've kind of refined it into enough of a, um, we've gotten far enough so that now we feel like we need a beta test in order to, um, really see if we're on the right track and how it would work in real life. So we've got a simplified version. We spoke with save our shores and they were very interested in helping us connect with, uh, kids that we could, uh, try our new plan out on. They had some, um, comments on what we had planned. So already we got some feedback on our ideas and, uh, they were able to, um, they actually, I got, after I wrote this report, I got a message from them that they have connected with a teacher in middle school who would like to work with us. So I have a meeting planned with them, um, later this week and, uh, it looks like we might be able to, um, move forward with a beta test on some unsuspecting middle schoolers. And so we're, we're excited about that. And, uh, that's my report for November and December. All right. Thanks, Becca. Very much. Next we have oral report of the board chair. That's me. Um, I really have nothing much to report in particular. Um, but this is the first meeting that I've, um, actually led and it was a bit of a learning experience, putting together the agenda, but I think it all worked out pretty well. I think, um, I would like to, I meant to include our calendar, a list of all the meetings that are coming up. And so I'll do that next time, just as an informational item. I forgot that. Um, and that's, that's about it for me. And we have any board member or staff requests for specific items to be on next month's agenda. Tom. Well, it's going back to the last one. Did you want to mention the, um, meeting we're going to be having on Thursday or Friday morning? Um, yes, I will. Thank you. Um, we are calling a meeting for Friday morning at 10 o'clock. So, um, I think it's going to be a little bit of, of anybody who, who can join. It'll be very brief. The, um, Community television tax return. The 990 is due and it should be reviewed by. Uh, board members, um, before going. Before it being signed and send off. So I think Becca will send that out. Is that, am I right? You would send that to Keith. And he'll go out in the packet for that. I think we're going to call that an executive committee meeting. Um, not everybody's got to be there, but we need to have at least three. It'll be very brief. I think probably no more than five minutes. This would be Friday at 10 a.m. Um, by zoom. And just to, um, a little more on that, the, the finance committee members have all agreed to be there. So nobody else has to be there, but you're all certainly welcome to join us. And we'll be back to you. We'll be back to you. And we'll be contacting as the executive committee when we. Okay. Anybody else have any, um, particular requests for. Next meeting agenda. Um, I will note that this is, um, so far been a fairly swift. Meeting. Don't get your hopes up. Well, I'm actually very grateful. I'm very happy to be here with you. I'm very happy to be here with you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for the airport in about nine minutes, but, um, I, I see. We didn't get a chance to comment on our question. Our executive director's report. I just wanted to acknowledge. Um, Becca's work and the staff and community TV. Um, whom I think we now outnumber three to one. The board and the staff. But yeah, the, the, um, The department. We had a lot of meetings from what we had before. Went remarkably smoothly. It's, it's a lot. A lot simpler now. And yeah, I was delighted. I mean, tomorrow we'll see. Hopefully everything will continue to go smoothly, not gone would. Um, and also I caught the last part of the, the first health. Department. You know, COVID briefing. I believe if I can speak for the entire county staff, DuBecca and the team for helping us move those to strictly virtual format. Thank you. Well done. And I'd also like to say I caught the very first beginning of that broadcast and at the very beginning you see Ian at CTV on the very bottom of the Zoom. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. I got to see the whole thing and it was beautifully done. They had a lot to handle and it went very well. Thank you to everyone. Excellent. Thanks for sharing. I'll share that with the team. OK. Any other announcements? Thank you for that, Director Muziarz and Safe Travels. Do you? Or you're picking somebody up. Safe Travels. Thank you very much. No, I'm picking up somebody. Yes. And now I will entertain a motion to adjourn. Matilda's not here. I don't know who's going to do it. I will move to adjourn. Director Muziarz moves to return. And Director Shaw seconds. I think this can be acclimation. Yeah. All those in favor say yes or wave. Hi, everybody. Hi, everybody. Thank you, folks, for coming. Thank you. Welcome aboard. Hi, everyone. Thank you, members. Welcome aboard. Thank you. Thank you, Guy. Bye.
