President Mark appointed Brian Magnuson to continue as Treasurer and Arleen volunteered to be Secretary.

With the Executive Officers in place, the next order of business was to approve the minutes of the April 16th meeting. A couple of typos were pointed out and Mike Kayser made a motion to accept the minutes as corrected. Don MacDonald seconded the motion. The motion passed.

Brian Magnuson provided the Treasurers Report, which included the Financial Statement through April 30th as provided by Chace & Spurgeon. Gary had provided a statement from his computer that displays the comparison of income received and expenditures to the actual projected budget. There was discussion from the floor that felt it would be helpful to have a breakdown in percentages by the quarter. Brian commented we could provide the information in what ever format the membership wanted it.

Brain Magnuson also presented the Engineering and Equipment Report. Brain said that all the equipment had been ordered and paid for. However, it was unfortunate that the lenses we ordered are no longer manufactured and that Panasonic has been in contact with Canon to provided us with an alternate lens of the type preferred. The Panasonic representative said it would be at least a month before we could expect the Canon product.

The only other item we are waiting for is SDI cards. The Serial Digital Interface cards allow communication and control to the remote equipment.

Gary Hill offered the Interim Director’s Report (see attached). First commenting on the work as completed by the Weather Guard crew.

He has shown the warehouse space a couple times but no serious prospects.

He detailed the fact that Comcast will henceforth send checks directly to KLTV, rather than having to pass through the various cities financial cycles. He sited a recent conversation with Kalama where they too were confused by the Comcast checks being sent to them first. They were unaware they had to forward franchise fees on to us.

Gary was given assurances that Comcast would reconnect our ability to go LIVE from the LCC Baseball Field in time for the NWAACC Tournament. The other locations of concern would also be soon addressed.

Interim Executive Director’s Report Continued

Gary’s final comments dealt with the 2006 Audit as contracted with Booth, Davis & Associates. He has gathered a number of the documents they requested. He expected to meet with David McClay tomorrow (May 22), to begin the process.

Under Unfinished Business President Mark instructed Gary to bring an end to the Logo design input and to finalize a selection.

Mark outlined the process involved with the Executive Director Search. First, by stipulating Deborah Vinsel of Thurston Community Television was hired to lead the headhunter endeavor. He then mentioned all the publications Deb has utilized to initiate the search. Deb will be responsible to narrow the candidates down to the top eight. At that point a committee comprised of Mike Kayser, Joe Daggy, Judy Jones and he will arrange to interview the candidates and then evaluate the top 4. It was suggested that the members would have an opportunity to meet the top four. It may be necessary to re-interview the top four before making the final selection.

New Business included a discussion on updating the Policy and Procedures manual. It appears there are a couple versions of the P & P manual about and exactly which one is the official copy needs to be clarified. As indicated from the Board Retreat last January the Executive Director was instructed to head up this task and to break the document down into four parts as suggested by Deborah Vinsel in her quality assurance report. This project will be tabled until an Executive Director is placed. Policy Manual for Producers, Employee’s Handbook, Board Manual, and a Membership Guide.

Evaluating long-term plans for the KLTV building was also briefly mentioned. Another item put on hold till an E.D. is hired.

Good of the Order / Comments from the membership centered around Allan Rudberg’s expressed opinions that a Channel 11 committee needs to be formed to ensure that independent producers needs are being met.

Gary was directed to include this topic for further consideration under New Business on next month’s formal agenda.

The meeting was Adjourned at 6:36 pm
