|
| 4. | | Treasurer's report |
| | |
In a verbal report, Treasurer Blazek gave $965.00 as the sum of income since
the last meeting.
He estimating that the total from this winter's annual "Boostergram" drive for
contributions had fallen about $2,000 short of the previous year's campaign.
He also reported expenditure of $2,321.66 for eight STBs (Set-Top Boxes, i.e.,
digital converters).
|
| 5. | | Correspondence |
| | |
Blazek noted that, among recent contributors who commented, many gave
conditional praise to the Booster's efforts to maintain classical music service
(KCNV) on FM radio.
|
| 6. | | Announcements |
| | |
Longo said she has it on good authority that the Knights of Columbus will not
take responsibility for organizing Maturango Junction next fall.
There is a possibility that the Four Winds Tribal Council will take it over,
but is considering scheduling the event at a different time of year (with
unknown implications for the Booster's planning).
|
| B. | | | Committee reports |
| 1. | | Standing committees |
| | b. | Operations |
| | |
Middlemiss reported that the Navy's NAVFAC professional engineer has
recommended against allowing the Booster to proceed with the pouring of its
planned new concrete antenna pad at Laurel Mountain without extensive
slope-stabilization measures, measures which the Booster cannot afford.
On a happier note, Wetzel reported some improvement in the procedures required
for Booster volunteers to gain access to the Laurel Mountain site, although the
contingency plan for "emergency" access has yet to be tested.
|
| 4. | | Web site committee |
| | |
Cole reported that the Booster's web site has been taken down temporarily while
he moves his office into his home.
It is expected to be operational again in about a week.
|
| E. | | | Discussion items |
| 1. | | TV Signals from Mt. Wilson |
| | |
It was reported that, for safety reasons, signals from Mt. Wilson may be
subject to occasional weakening or may drop out altogether during periods when
crews must work on the towers there, requiring that the transmission power be
cut.
