Motion to postpone minutes approval to next month, no opposition
- postponed to February 20th
Updates
- New Schedule up and running, all slots full
- The Books practically confirmed for March 15th. Cost is $2500 for the band. Museum is covering sound equipment, ticket cost, band needs no special lighting equipment.
New Business
- Making minutes available to public.
o Sarah Herard proposes that minutes should be posted in the lobby, not sent through e-mail.
o Tom Bray proposes that minutes be posted in an archive on the website, keep one year of minutes at a time.
o Chaz and Alex will take care of online minutes posting.
- Renovations planning.
o Organizational work for moving needs to be planned, certain information is needed, a group (4 or 5 people) should be organized to plan this issue in earnest.
o Scott Wood, architect, needs to be contacted for important dates on renovation timeline.
o What kind of swing space will we have for temporary storage vs. permanent storage? Annexes will be first area finished; we have use of the new conference room during renovations for office space, etc. How should saving the station art be undertaken? Anything that we don’t want damaged needs to be removed, says architect.
o There is money in their budget to get us out, but none to move things back. This needs to be addressed considering that they’re expecting us to move things ourselves with volunteer labor. Can we demand payment? Certainly, it seems.
o Money for carpets? No, it seems. Will carpet issues affect floor wiring? There was an offer to replace our wires, but they are out of the way of what the construction will be working on. It is much simpler just to leave the old wiring, but maybe we can squeeze some neat new electronics out of them.
o Should a separate group be created to monitor renovation issues? It seems an impromptu group might be a better option. Sarah Herard and Alex proposed as core members of this group; Jason Voss has volunteered.
- Forest Casey wishes to be reinstated as a DJ.
o Recap of offense. Forest and Eric were suspended for obscenity and offensive material.
o Eric is not present at the meeting tonight.
o Tom Bray believes that the terms of this decision should be decided by the GM and Programming Director. Yet since the GM has decided against it and Forest is now appealing, it is the BOD’s decision
o Forest must redo the full training process. What are the precise things that we need to see before deciding on reinstatement? Fundraiser work, no air-time for (at least) this term, specific number of hours for off-air work.
o Forest has left the meeting.

Other Business
- University computer people can redo our database so that we can store credit card numbers. They cannot do it by fundraiser, but they can give us a place to manually enter them on our website, the CENTS page, which also serves as the all-year donation area.
- Jen Herard will be gone during station elections, but she wishes to run for General Manager. She can petition by e-mail. Should there be a temporary appointment for the summer since the station membership shrinks so drastically? Yes, Sarah H. can appoint someone.
