Special Guests Steve Rose and Joe Hoefgen

Minutes approved from last meeting

Producer’s Showcase: Steve Rose, who leads the producer’s showcase every 2nd Thursday of the month, explained how the producer’s showcase works. DMTV was concerned that the same producers might monopolize the producing position and therefore are not practicing the other disciplines. Additionally, there was concern that they are producing shows without having to go through the grant process. Steve confirmed that new people with an idea have first priority to produce and that there is an emphasis on rotating stations. He also noted that the producers have to present their ideas to the group in a written format. Typically by the end of showcase evening the group has produced a thirty-minute program and that some are being cycled by Adelphia.

Finance: Joanne presented the financial reports. ’02 Profit and Loss statement was approved. Joanne proposed that a subcommittee be formed to research options for money/cds that are coming due Feb. 20. It was agreed that the subcommittee would consist of Jack, Joanne and Herb.

• Pete mentioned that 10% of the annual budget is put into an endowment.

Grant Status: Ingrid will produce two more Del Mar Style shows.

DMTV Production Status: The city gives the foundation money annually. Money will be tight this year. Joe suggested that the foundation produce a highlights video of work to present in June at the City’s budget workshop. DMTV will need to pitch why we need funds. Pete will lead that effort.

• DMTV is producing a video for the city about getting the train off of the bluffs in response to the Vision 2020 report. The City will pay 1k and DMTV $500.
