 Here, Director Owen, Director Aizant Gonzalez and Director Lanier. Here. All right. Thank you very much. We have a quorum. We do have a quorum. That is noted. So we can proceed as the Board of Directors. So move on to item number two, which is oral communications. Is there anybody here from the public who would like to address us during this time? Seeing none, we can move on to any consideration of late additions to the agenda, addition to deletions. Are there any of those? Seeing none, we can move on to the consent agenda, which consists of items four, five, six, and seven. Item four is to approve the minutes of our last regular meeting of April 22nd. Number five is to approve the minutes of our special meeting of May 10th, which was to approve our contract with the county and the city. Item six is to accept the finance committee recommendation to accept the April 2019 financial reports. And item seven is to do the same for the May financial reports. Do we have any discussion on the consent agenda? I have a question on the consent agenda for April 22nd. Number 10, summaries from board retreat subcommittees. It says Chair Mezraz reported that the first equipment lease period. Oh. And reported on the first equipment lease? I think that makes sense. Yeah. Or else we have to make it long and describe the whole lease. Something, yeah. Yeah. I think it was just something. We reported on it. We completed or finalized it. We reported on it, yeah. Okay. So we need to add the word on. I think replace that with on. Replace that with on. Okay. Thank you for catching that. Yeah. That was my only. Oh, excellent. Okay. Oh, yeah, I see that. And were there any other questions, comments? Would our finance committee like to chair like to comment on the? No, I mean, that's the way we've been doing. We're still ahead financially as you'll see in the minutes. The last two months are a little slow, but I got a note in Becca's report. We leased it off it. So that'll bring us up. But overall we're pretty much ahead and Tom keeps a very good spreadsheet. So we're watching things. So other than that, I think there really isn't too much more to report. There's a lot of detail in here. If anybody has any specific questions, I'll be glad to answer it. If not that ends in the comments I might have. So it's the capital budget part of the. Part of the consent agenda that. Yeah, both of them. Okay. I did have a one question on 7400 on the capital budget. Line 7400. There's a big. Is it in April? This would be April. Line 7400. Yeah. Facility lease. Yes. I was just curious. A big difference between March and April of, you know, 80% or something. Oh, what happened is somebody. That kind of was what happened in that particular month. Okay. And then if you see the next one, you'll see us drop down a little because some of the offices came out. But that was due to an advanced payment and the way it was booked. And then one other thing on the balance. Oh, wait 7400. You're talking about the, that's the expenditures. That's what we pay. Yeah. That's our lease payments. Right. So. So she did two payments in one month. Is that right? March and April? Yeah, that's probably. What, what are some, a couple of improvements or something like that? I wouldn't be a lease. Doesn't that fall under the lease? Could. Okay. Yeah. In case what would you think that was? That's my guess is I know there was a discussion about some lease improvements that we pay for. Yeah. Yes. So we talked about it a couple of meetings ago and we approved that of us for improvements. And you had another question. Yeah. And then on the balance sheet, it looks like we put $200,000 in savings from April to May. First in April, I think we had 848,000 in checking, which just seems like a lot. And about a hundred thousand in savings. And then the next month it went down. And I was just wondering if that's what happened and if, do we normally keep that much in checking? Okay. I see you're right here. That's line 1075, 1075. Let's go to the next one. Yeah. Tom, I didn't do too good in the last answer. Why don't you try it? And then in May. Yeah. The checking drops down some and savings goes up, which, you know, makes sense. Is the cash flow sense that we don't? No. Yeah, I think it was moved. I think the money was moved from, to finally closed out one of the accounts. You like me to tell you? We have some clarification from our chair emeritus. I didn't turn on the mic. Let me turn on the mic. Okay. Why don't you call for a bit? Answer the question. Yes. Okay. I'm going to call the chair emeritus, Keith Gujra please. So the first one you asked about the expenditure. Yeah. And that expenditure, I believe was reconciling the triple net from the previous year. That's what Matilda was saying. The approved spending the money to reconcile the triple net from the previous year. And then the second one was about. Just savings and checking. We closed out an account that had been a community area and moved it over into our. Okay. That's kind of what I thought. I wondered except that it's the, it's still a, it's listed on the line as still the same thing. Maybe that just needs to be corrected. Vice chair, Randy, do you have a question? Yeah. I, Keith, don't go away because I need to have a repeat of the beginning because I didn't get it. For the minutes. For the minutes. You need what? So that line 74 about the facility leads. Sit down. 7400 have a seat. I didn't see lights every time. It was the one. The difference in the lease improvements. Right. Facility. Right. And that's the improvements were part of the triple net because of the facilitation. Was that like security system and air conditioning or something like that? There was some air conditioning. There were landscaping. There was the garbage taken back with them. From the other side, people could steal from it. So that was a wall, an enclosure. Yeah. So those are all improvements? Well, I don't think I want to comment. Okay. Okay. But isn't that what we talked about a couple months ago? Yes. And we approved that, right? Yes. Yeah. So I think that's what I'm going to say in a minute. So that was based on... I don't mean to magnetically, but... No, no. No, this is good. It stimulates a little brain cells to remember what we actually talked about. Actually, you can... If you go between the two on your second question, you can see the money moving. It's just the banks are still the same because you go from 848, and the other one is 300. So... The community credit union accounts are all... They're zero now. They're zero now. Yeah. I think it was just moved from the checking to the savings. Yeah. Yeah. To get an extra... To get a 0.23% interest or something like that. No, that's right. I remember that. She mentioned that they were giving a pretty good rate, but that was for the CD, and then they moved into the CD for that. Yeah. There's a spot to it. Okay. Thank you very much. You can stay if you want to. No. I agree on that. Were there any other questions, comments? That's it. Okay. Well, I'll entertain a motion on the consent agenda. Well, I would move that we approve the consent agenda. With the minutes... As corrected. As specified. Yeah. On that changing tip. On for item number 10 for the April 22nd minutes. Great. We have a motion from Director Lanier. Is there a second? Second. We have a second from Director O'Driscoll. I'll call the vote. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed or abstentions? Yes. Hearing none, that carries unanimously. Okay. So I think we will skip item 8, which is the oral part of the executive director, unless somebody wants to... Does anybody have a good... We'll just move to item number 9, which is to adopt the... Or adopt or accept, I said adopt. Recommended mission and vision statements from the ad hoc strategic planning committee. And rather than add them as separate documents since they were fairly brief. I just included them in the agenda. So the mission statement is community television, community television provides tools, training and programming to foster dialogue, civic engagement and self-expression through television, the internet, and other digital media. And the vision statement, which is one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight words. Did I count that right? Is to empower our community to thrive in a digital world. Do we have any comments or questions on that? The one thing I would just say for clarification on the mission, it is... The only change is adding the words provides tools, training and programming to... Right. So all the rest of that is our existing mission statement. Which is on our homepage of the community TV website. And I don't know any comments or questions on that. Yes? I like the vision statement, it's to the point. Eight points. In terms of providing tools, training and programming on the mission statement, I think that's probably a good idea. I mean, it seems to focus, you know, laser in on exactly what we're doing rather than, you know, being more general in terms of running retreats for people out in the woods to help them empower their self-expression. And I think that was the thing, you know, the strategic planning and planning when they came up with that. Great. Okay. Any further comments or questions? Seeing none. All right. I'll entertain a motion to... Move approval. All right. We have a motion from Director Manheim. Is there a second? I'll second it. All right. A second from Director Lanier. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? All right. Carries unanimously. All right. Seeing our Executive Director, Dr. has arrived. We can move back. One, two, item number eight. Are you prepared or should we... Good to go. All right. Good to go. All right. Hardly even breathing heavily. She had plenty of time to rehearse in the car. I'm glad you made it. Thank you for... Thank you. Sorry to keep you waiting. No worries. It's the summer. It is. You could have biked in like Dr. Lanier and probably... Faster. Oh, we have two bicycles. I have a flat tire. Otherwise, I would have been... I'll likely... Okay. Well, I've got a report for you that actually spans two months since we didn't meet in May. But it is... Well, here it is. The co-working center was just under profit by a couple hundred dollars in both May and June. And I looked back at previous... Well, the previous year. The first year, we really can't count that because we started in April. So the second year, we did make more and we were in profit in May and June. So I'm not certain... The interesting thing is we have more members but we have... And we're filling up the cafe space and the offices are down. So we actually have more people coming in but they're paying less money. So it's good and bad. I think it'll level out and I'm looking at just data points to see if there's anything we can do or if it'll just mellow out on its own. I'll keep you posted. We are still in profit for the year, though, because we did really well at the beginning of the year. So we are not under... We are where we should be beyond where we expected. Question. When you say in profit, you're saying over our lease costs or are you talking about our projected budget? Our projected budget. We're over what we expected to make this year. And this is the end of the year. So this is... June, this is it. And we made more than we projected. So that is good. And it could have been better, but we still made more than we expected. So we covered our expenses this year, which is what we strive to do. We filled an office this month, so that will make things better next month. And next month we start over. So we have a clean slate now. We did a ton of meetings that we usually do at this time of year. We did... I approximated because I was waiting for final numbers, but I can tell you that we did 19 in May and 24 in June. So that's tons of meetings. And also most of the... Like half of those are captioned, so that's good for us. For a while, CTV was providing services to CMAP while we were losing a key person. And Victor's been doing most of that work. Some of it's been done by Lynn. And so we're handing it back. We had a meeting and handed over everything. So CMAP has a really good person in charge, a really experienced person, so knows the lingo, really understood what was to be done and had been doing it in Oregon for about 10 years. So it was good. And they're stable. And we earned a little bit of money doing that work for them. And Victor is really happy to hand it over. He's been doing an excellent job of bringing things... Some things were not up to speed to begin with. He corrected a lot of things that should have been happening that weren't and then maintained things over time. And was really good about just checking in on the new guy and making sure he wasn't missing anything and he caught some things. So Victor's been really great. And I'm really happy with the work that he has done on this project. And it was nice of him to do it, as it was extra, for sure. Under equipment and facilities, we did our annual insurance review in May. We do it every year. It's just really a big nightmare. But we added a couple of policies this year. Last year we did a huge thing. We changed over, we changed companies, we changed brokers. We got better insurance in a couple of areas where we were lacking. And this year we've added two extra things. One is they're both cyber policies. And one is to protect us from third-party exposure. So if we're working with another party and they get access to our data and something happens to it once they have it, if they don't have, we have really high security. And so, and we don't keep much online. We don't keep anything online here. Our stuff all goes through this big, very, very secure vault, the most secure. But just in case someone else has it and then something could happen, we have a little insurance for that. Well, we have a lot of insurance for that, just in case. Because we keep a lot of, we don't keep anything, but it passes through. And then we also got an extra bit of protection for our employee data, because we don't put, like, I have a file cabinet. Everything about our employee is in there and it's locked. And it's in a locked room. But we do payroll on QuickBooks. So some information is someplace and it's not stored and it's only partial numbers, but it makes me worry. So we've got special insurance for that, should any of their data be compromised. On the building, we are waiting for fiber still. There is, we got apparently PG&E reviewed our permit and found that part of it was okey-dokey, and part of it wasn't. So they started the approval process again on the part that they didn't like. So now it looks like September. And I don't, I don't know if we have any clout to get into. Anyone can intercede or anything. We just get reports from, there is somebody there at Comcast who's very good about updating me every month, but they've never get anywhere. So it's Comcast or AT&T? It's Comcast. So who's our permit with? Well, the permit Comcast is trying to get is with PG&E. To be on their poles. Yeah. So they join to stream the fiber on their poles. Yeah. It's probably the corner of where it is. So they have to get here. And that's probably the deal. So then PG&E reviewed it and said part was OK, but part was not for whatever reason. Yeah, for whatever reason. And it's taken them months to review that part. We should have had this in January. So we've been, that's what they promised. So we signed up, like, wait, why should it not October? And they said, oh, January. And now it's June. So we're, it's PG&E, I guess, is the bottleneck. And I don't think there's anything we can do about that. But I'll just keep it posted. We'll keep trying. Maybe we could beg on air. Yes, we could. We could do a whole, we could invite them in. Perhaps an interview. How you get a permit. Now is this through what they call the joint pole committee or is it just PG&E? Well, they haven't revealed to me exactly who's reviewing it. I just get a little chart. And it says permit, permit, no permit. Did they say what part was good and what part was bad? They didn't tell me I could ask. Why don't you just add a curiosity? OK. But am I right that this is Comcast's application with PG&E, not any application we've filed? No, we're not doing anything. We've wanted to get fiber from them. They're just trying to get surface through Comcast. Comcast needs to do that. I guess we are the first to do this in this area. So they didn't, they weren't prepared. They couldn't just hook us up. They didn't have the wherewithal. If we could make a case that it's a public safety issue, then we could get the sheriff to go down and have a word with them, at least. So this fiber is coming from Comcast. It's not like Cruzeo's. No, Cruzeo doesn't come across the river. Otherwise, we would have gone with them. But they don't go this side of the river. So that's why Comcast. It's sad, but true. So under communications, we did. We were doing First Fridays. And people are really enjoying them. And the artists really like this. And Ian's done a really good job of coordinating these things. We had one in May and one in June. And they've been well attended. And we're really happy with what comes out of those. Mostly we just get a lot of different people that we wouldn't normally have them by. And they get to see the RSVP. And they also get to play around with virtual reality in here. So they get to see the studio, even though they're not coming here to do television, but it kind of sparks their imagination. They can see the lights and the cameras are here. So it is a fun thing for us. And we see lots of people. Ian does a great job. And that's my report. Not going on in the summer. Thank you, Becca. Any further comments, questions? No, I'm just very happy to hear that. When people come to see TV, they see the light. Yeah, absolutely. Thanks to learn. Yeah, I'm for the live. All right, fantastic. Well, we'll move on then to back to item number 10. I don't know if we have much to report. Some of these are board retreat subcommittees. Has there been any further in the libraries? Anybody else? I keep every time I run into somebody involved with a venue, I keep trying to sell them on our thing, but I think I need to start aiming higher. You know, I spoke to somebody at Cabrillo College who manages the SAP with the venue, and they're like, we have no budget. So I think I need to start trying to talk to some direct, you know, some of the trustees at Cabrillo College, if they start, you know, shaking the tree that I'm sure some money won't. Yeah, we're perfect if they don't have a budget. We can help them with that. I tried to sell them on that, but I'm not as persuasive as you are. I think at some point, I know one of the board members, we can invite a couple of the board members to come. I think that would be about as high as you can get in the new president. I have no, I mean, I've just seen him. He seems very personable, and it seems to be eager to do different things. So it's kind of a different attitude there, but I'll talk, I'll see one of the board members later in the week and chat with him. Yeah, I think it's the same, because they have this beautiful, beautiful facility there, and, you know, no video. No, that's embossing. All right, well, so if that's all we have for that, we can move on to the item number 11, which is the All Report from the Voluntary Advisory Committee. I want to go back to the subcommittees, because remember, one of the committees was doing the RSVP. Oh, yes. Do we have some? I am successful. Oh, it has been, okay, please. Love that. All right, that's our shining success. Oh, absolutely. And Keith Gussier worked really hard on that, and I remember that one of the engineers from the new radio station, KSQD, came by. She just fell off her chair all of a sudden. She just thought it was so amazing. Excellent. So, you know, it's, and our director, who is doing the directing right now, Linda Genakos, she loves it. She's done already interviews with people for her program, and she just can't get enough of it. Fantastic. Without having to get six different crew members together into the studio. We've had producers use it for short interviews, too, for their shows, and they were really, they said, one said it was the easiest production he ever did. Wow. Really thrilled with it, and he said, who built this for you? Like, it's a little, it's electrical engineer. All right, very qualified individual, yes. With an MBA. That is good. A big success out of our last year's work retreat. So, with many hours, and we came up with the idea, and many hours of sweat, equity put in by... Mostly Keith. Keith, yes. Great. Well, who knows? Maybe we can expand that and start setting them up in CVS pharmacies around the town. Get your prescription filled, and... We can video take your blood pressure test. All right. Anything else under item number 10? Okay. All right, so we can move on. Our number of hats, the chair of our back is sitting next to me here. Would you have anything to report? Mm-hmm, I will. So, we had a studio kind of class, and one of our students is here on camera three. A couple of them have done that. As you know, people take the class, but we don't want to say, okay, you take the class now, you need to know everything. So, they get to what we call shadow, which actually means they're on the camera, and somebody else is right there next to them in case they have any questions. And so, actually this last cycle, this last class, really got us a couple of really good people that already done their shadowing, and they're ready for producers to use on their show. So, I'm happy with that. But you know, hopefully when our strategic plan is done, we're going to put some more emphasis on getting volunteer leaders and expand on what we're doing, because right now it's funneled into a few people, and you can't overload the same people the whole time. But other than that, one of our producers is now producing two programs, and he's doing both voices from the Village and his own program, BTS, and seems to be very happy with that, and Manning, you know, two crews and two different people, and all at the same night. So, I was there, and it was quite a success. I thought it was very well done. So- So, they were back-to-back productions? Yeah, they did back-to-back productions. On one evening from five to, you know, maybe started at six, and at seven o'clock it was live for the second program. It was very interesting to see, and I'm glad that both programs continue to be strong programs for us. Fantastic. So, other than that, we will be doing some more classes in the next few months. Excellent. Great, well, thank you very much. You're welcome. All right, so that was item number 11. Let's move on to item 12. Oh, and of course- Yes? We talked about the PSA. The PSA Day? Yeah, we just had a very successful one on Friday. Oh, nice. Keith and Karen and crew, you know, continue doing that. It's a great sport for our non-profits in Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz County to come, pay a little bit of money, and get this great- High-quality PSA. That is on our channels, and then also people use it- Online. Yeah. Quick question. It's easy to have ideas, because somebody else always does the work, but I wonder at our next meeting, if a couple of the PSAs, we couldn't put them up just to show people, because if they, by some chance, watch our meeting, it kind of reinforces the message. I mean, me talking is great, but I don't think it has the impact to some of what we're doing. I'd love to see some. I think that's an excellent- Yeah, just a thought. I agree, yeah, very good. All right, well, item number 12 is the oral report of the board chair. Past couple of months was focusing mostly on facilitating, getting our contract signed, a lot of back and forth, and Becca, great work on that. I appreciate Director Mannheim for doing his fine wordsmithing and editing, and we have a contract. It's a two-year- Four? Four-year contract, right? Or a three-year with a one-year extension, or something like that, or- I mean, some four years, as far as I understand it. So we'll have to worry about it for a while, and it seems like everybody's happy. That's the longest contract we've had in a long time. I think it's a real vote of confidence. Yeah, yeah. Kind of just the volunteers and the staff and everybody here. We're all working hard trying to make something work. Right? So I guess the next order of business for me would be to organize a board retreat in August if folks are gonna be around, and we can get together. I was dreaming of a Silamar or Fortune Forty, but I can't afford that, so we have a new end profit. How about on the, not the O'Neill, but the Chardonnay, the Chardonnay? We have a board, can we rent that for a day? No. If it's possible to use your clubhouse again, maybe. Yeah, I think that sounds quite nice. We can bring some cookies and bagels. That's not in August, because there's not a lot of people around Santa Cruz in August and maybe it's thinking October and kind of people are re-acquaining themselves with their. After the summer. After the summer. And you got the September. I just thought. Well, the retreat is just with board members. Yeah, I know, but people can be places too. I don't know. Well, you're gonna poll, so you'll see what you find. Yeah. Well, we'll figure it out. We don't have to do it right now. I will mention that I'm on vacation. Hopefully, I actually haven't had it approved yet by my day job employers, but I have reservations. Our next board meeting. So Vice Chair Rand has agreed to chair. Without reservation. Without reservation. But, and hopefully I'll come back refreshed and with lots of energy, we're ready to go and further our mission here as much as I can. So that's my report. We can move on unless anybody has any questions or comments on that. We can move on to item number 13, which is board members, staff requests for specific items to appear on the next meeting agenda. We have a request for some PSAs to be displayed. Also, I think the strategic plan. Oh, right. We'll be coming back. Okay. We'll be ready to bring it back next month. Sorry. We won't be there. Oh no. We can't delay it, but we actually are meeting, I guess this Friday to hopefully finalize it. Well, if I'm somewhere with internet access, I can watch the meeting online and. During your vacation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, traveling abroad. We'll make it a short meeting. I'll be happy to watch it. But yeah, that sounds great. I'll be happy to add that to the agenda. And perhaps just a quick heads up to the board members. Our hope is that everybody will actually have a chance before the meeting to read through it and go over it. There's been a lot of work put into it, both by the board members around the committee, as well as a couple of export members who are on the committee. So, and I think good progress. Excellent. You would like a good review. So we have a lively conversation. Yes. And great new ideas. Okay, good. And if I can make a suggestion, I think a really attractive cover to the report. To two of my own horn names. I was thinking of a half hour PowerPoint presentation. Oh, okay. There we go. With videos. I thought you were gonna do some song and dance. Top hat, hails, yes. Musical number, okay. Well, we'll look forward to seeing the strategic plan that has been labored over for these months and it's finally ready for delivery and rearing and. Close to nine months, but not quite. We can start the college fund now. Great, so that is our number 13. We'll move on to item number 14, which is announcements. If the board has no, anybody have announcements? Okay, I would like to thank our all volunteer crew tonight who have made this telecast possible, cablecast. It's Phil Harmonic, Patrick Delaney, our newest camera person, Richard Ducell, Karen Scott, Linda Janakis and Keith Gudger. Thank you all very much for being here tonight. So we do have item number 15, which is a closed session. The topic is property negotiations. We're gonna end the live cablecast here. And if we have anything to report at the closed session, that'll be in our minutes for the next meeting, correct? So we'll just do it in a German right now? I don't know, we have to move to closed session, right? And then we'll adjourn after that. So I will thank our crew and say good night to any of our audience who are watching. Thank you very much.
