1. Approval of meeting minutes from September 12, 2022
a. Motion to approve by Boardmember Falkenberg, seconded by Boardmember Sabatier. Approval was unanimous, except for Boardmember Claffey who arrived after this item.
2. PEG/County MOU/Agreement for Townhall AV Services
a. Good discussion about the agreement with the county and other agencies. Discussion led to a review on insurance policies and liability. More insurance information will be provided at the next meeting. The hourly fee was discussed as well and will need to be revised based on whether or not insurance is required from the videographers and if other payroll taxes and fees are to be considered in the total compensation. Also, in the procedures exhibit, instead of requiring that a request for videographers be submitted within 7 days of the project or recording, that was changed to 15 days and a added comment that availability is not promised due to videographer schedules and equipment availability.
This will be submitted for legal review and brought back to the next PEG Board meeting for further discussion.
3. Update on Lakeport PEG-TV equipment and broadcasting capabilities.
a. Lakeport has all of the equipment they need, they are working to finalize the connection before the end of the year.
4. Update to Lake County PEG By-Laws
a. By-laws were reviewed and discussed. Added membership and volunteer recruitment as part of the duties of the board members. Reworked parts of the Purpose and Vision Statement. Possible change to Purpose Statement could be: “To maintain a portal for the Public, Educators, and Government agencies to provide digital locally created contact in order to entertain, educate, and inform our communities.” Emails about changes to by-laws will be sent to the Secretary and worked into the final document for consideration in next month’s meeting.
5. Station Manager’s Report
a. Viewership is skyrocketing with 409 new subscriptions.
6. Chairperson’s Report
a. Boardmember Loustalot submitted a letter stating she needed to either resign or have a leave of absence. She would prefer to stay on the board while she deals with current temporary situations. This will be placed on the next agenda for discussion as this was not open for discussion since it wasn’t on the agenda for the meeting. Other boardmembers shared their appreciation of the Station Manager’s work and dedication to the vision of PEG.
