BOARD MEETING MINUTES
May 18, 2009

 

President Mark McCrady called the meeting to order at 5:30 pm.

 

In absence of Secretary Arleen Hubble President Mark called roll. Board Members Present:  Position 1 – George Ford,  Post 2 - Mike Kayser, Post 3 – Brian Magnuson, Posit 4 - Joe Daggy,  Post 5 – Mark McCrady and Keith Huff,  Position 6 will soon be seated at this meeting,  Post 7- Don MacDonald, and Post 8 - Hal Phillips.  It was noted that Post 9 - Jim Johnston was out of town and his absence was excused. Mark explained that Keath Huff was appointed to fill  Post 5 and once the Board’s Executive positions have been established, Mark would officially step down, allowing Keith to take his designated position. There were no requests for changes or additions to the agenda so Mark proceeded by entertaining a motion to accept the Minutes of April 20th, 2009. Hal Phillips made the motion for approval and was seconded by Don MacDonald. Joe Daggy corrected a statement. The minutes were accepted as corrected.


Mark explained the election process and shared that Rick Still had won the election 43 to 30 over Arleen Hubble for Board Position 6. Mark asked that Rick join the board at his dully elected position.

Mark then called for nominations for board president. George Ford was the only nomination received. Mark asked that a unanimous ballot be cast in support of George Ford.  

Don MacDonald nominated Hal Phillips for Vice President and was not contested.

Mark passed his gavel to George Ford whose first order of business was asking Brian Magnuson to retain his position as Board Treasurer. He also appointed Joe Daggy as Secretary to the Board.

George gave a brief statement on expectations, board duties and hoped that we all could share a common vision.

Brian Magnuson provided the Treasurers Report which shows the Budget is in great shape. More money is coming in than what was expected. Spending has been frugal. Gary & Barry are saving roughly $10,000 by paying the bills which will help the deficit caused by the tenant’s vacancy. The City of Longview has asked for an accounting of  the Capital Fund expenditures.  

George then recessed the meeting for coffee and cake to honor Mark’s commitment and guidance provided to KLTV.

The meeting was called back to order for Staff Reports.

Linda reported the Production Van has been repaired. The Fresnel lights have been ordered. Staff is in preparation for the NWAACC Baseball Tournament at LCC this week. Marilyn acquired volunteers, and Kris Gurrad has committed to directing all games. Our cameras and tripods have incurred an awful lot of damage as of late. Measures to correct these issues are being instituted. Graduations will be the next major projects we’ll undertake.

Port of Longview has hired us to produce their Commissioners Hearings twice a month.

Membership Comments A question pertaining to staff shirts and crew T-shirts prompted encouragement to shop local.

President George called for an Executive Session and indicated no action would be necessary upon their return, so for all practical matters the meeting was adjourned at 6:37 pm. The next meeting will be Monday June 15th.
