Hal Phillips made the motion to accept the Minutes of June 15th, 2009. The motion was seconded by Mike Kayser. The minutes were accepted as presented.

Brian Magnuson offered the Treasurer Report. He pointed out that item 5000 Advertising & Promotions and item 7210 Rental Expenses were nearly expended. Discussion on how much money Barry would need transferred to each line item. It was pointed out that adjustments could easily be made from the excesses made available from line 5170 since Barry & Gary are now paying the bills.

Hal then made the motion to increase line 5000 to equal $5000. The motion was seconded by Don MacDonald. The motion passed.

Mike Kayser made the motion to increase line 7210 to equal $2000 as Barry requested. Jim seconded the motion. The vote was called and the motion approved.

It was pointed out that the Equipment Repair funds (5100) were also nearly expended. Barry felt that with closer monitoring, and recent emphasis during training on the frailties of the equipment that perhaps we could get by till the end of the year. If not, he will ask for another adjustment to the budget when/if required.

Brian commented that should not be a problem since revenues are larger than projected and expenses overall are under projections.
   
Staff Reports.   Linda shared news about the recently completed Go 4th Festival, Concerts at the Lake slated for Thursday nights, and the upcoming Cowlitz County Fair. She mentioned we are also gearing up for the Babe Ruth World Series.

Barry reported that staff had been involved with taping all area graduations and hope to have editing concluded by the end of July.

The ACM Convention was well attended. Certainly by our staff for nearly everybody got to go for a day.
Minutes July 20th, 2009    Page Two   Staff Reports Continued

The Staff Uniforms have arrived and have been in use for just a short time so far. But a question on where staff can wear them has arisen. One staff member went directly from work to a Lions public event. A similar question dealing with our logoed items – should hats / T shirts be offered to our membership? The Board was asked to form an opinion or a policy on such usage.   

Name tags for staff have been ordered and will help identify them while in public settings.

Barry reminded folks that a replacement Mackie audio mixer is still on back order. He was pleased to report that Kris Gurrad had completed installing and upgrading to VT 5’s. The VT’s are used to switch video signals in the Studio and the Van and now have new and improved features including those that will better utilize Virtual Sets (green screening).
 
Membership Comments   Member Jane Still who had earlier questioned equipment maintenance issues was encouraged to postpone until this portion of the agenda. She was asked if she wished to re-address her question at this point.  Jane indicated that the question had already been answered.  

President George reminded of the Workshop  and indicated no action would be necessary upon their return, so for all practical matters the meeting was adjourned at 6:40 pm. The next meeting will be Monday Sept 21st  2009, 5:30 pm  at the studio.
