Call to order
Agenda approved
Last month’s minutes approved
Next meeting set for July 9
- Evan will be leaving in the Fall, so his seat will be up for election along with Chaz and Kristin’s student seats.
- Renovation update: there is a huge skylight in the woodshop. It is believed that the station will begin renovation in November. Brendt proposes that we establish a schedule for the move. It is reasonable to begin as soon as possible by getting rid of everything that is unnecessary or simply junk. The annexes present an interesting problem in terms of assessing what is junk.
- There is still a great deal of work remaining from the most recent fundraiser. Meg is working on it as we speak. Many of the checks have not been processed, some of the bills have not been sent, and people are still complaining that they have not received their premia. The balance of the gifts account is just above $20,000. We will need to transfer it to the SOAS account soon.
- The heat in the studio is unbearable. Apparently persistent calls to ‘plant’ will make them more likely to fix it.
- The Neutral Zone wants to have a teen show in the fall. Just to test the idea out, we might give them an hour long slot for news, music, etc.
- (Tom Bray has requested that this topic, despite being absent from the meeting's discussion, be added to the record) Tom spoke with Shari Fox in UM's Development office, and a former UM student and DJ has voiced plans to leave around $30,000 in an endowment for WCBN. The catch: she's only about 50, so it will be a while before we get anything, and she is earmarking it to support sports programming. The endowment would generate about $1200 a year, disbursed quarterly.
Motion to adjourn. Unanimous approval. Meeting closed.
