Indian Wells Valley TV Booster, Inc.
Minutes of July 7, 2003 board meeting

A. Opening

The meeting was called to order by President Middlemiss at 5:06 PM.
2. Attendance
Board members present: Blazek, Cole, Greene, Longo, Middlemiss, Webster
Board members absent: Ash, Manos
Visitors: Terri Middlemiss
3. Approval of minutes
The minutes of the June non-meeting were approved.
4. Treasurer's report
Treasurer Blazek provided copies of the previous month's income and expenditures. There was a net outflow for the month.
5. Correspondence
Treasurer Blazek noted that a copy of the new liability insurance policy had been received and all is in order in that area now.

A postcard for each transmitter/translator operated by the TV Booster was received from the FCC. It was unclear as to what the purpose of the postcards is; the postcards are stated to be a method of streamlining the license renewal process but there was nothing on the card about the license fees.

Member Longo has been in contact with Ridgecrest City Councilman Chip Holloway about the potential for the TV Booster receiving some support from the Mediacom. Councilman Holloway stated that he'd be in favor of appointing Ms. Longo to the City's ad hoc cable TV franchise committee if Mediacom did not have a conflict-of-interest reservation about Ms. Longo's business activities. Ms. Longo was to hear from City Administrator Harvey Rose on this point but as of the meeting, nothing had been heard from Mr. Rose.

Member Longo had received information regarding someone's offer to assist the TVB in maintaining the translators. This led to a general discussion of the need for additional technical assistance in the maintenance and operations area. No conclusion was reached but it was felt worthwhile to solicit Dr. Rogers' opinion on the subject, especially regarding his continuing to be the sole licensed first-class engineer for the TVB and his recommendation(s) regarding obtaining additional engineering assistance.
F. Closure
1. Next meeting: 5:00 PM, August 4, 2003, Kern County Library, Ridgecrest
2. Adjournment: The meeting was terminated at 6:05 PM when departure of two of the members left the Board without a quorum.
