Minutes
of the DMTF Board Meeting
April 4, 2002, DMTV Studios
·
The meeting began at 9:00 a.m. and was attended by board
members Garry Shirts, Walt
Beerle, Susan Switzer, Mary Hale and Peter Glaser. Herb Turner and
Nicole Holliday were absent. Philippe Lamoise,
Edward Kramer and Barbara Diesl also attended.
·
Peter and the board reviewed the proposed
grant program agreement developed by Peter. He reported that the county
required a contract several pages long and after reviewing it felt that
a similar proposal would be valuable for the foundation to have. The
board was generally in favor of the proposal and felt it was a very
important that we have such an agreement. Garry requested that paragraph
7A be changed so that the copyright is owned by the Del Mar Television
Foundation unless otherwise negotiated. He did not want to change the
paragraph that said net profits would be split evenly as outlined in
paragraph 5. The board decided to postpone a decision on the project
until the June meeting.
·
Mary Hale submitted a request for $1432. for
the “Coffee in Del Mar” segments for January, February and
March. She requested that her monthly grant amount be increased from
$432 to $500. per month The increased funds are necessary to support the
change to the “Village Showcase” format.
The board approved her request and requested that the procedure
for funding her projects be changed so that the money is requested
before the shows are aired. Specifically Mary was asked to submit
requests for funds two months prior to the taping of the show.
·
Barbara Diesl asked for funds to tape the show that she
has been producing in Arizona with a San Diego audience. After
discussion the board voted 5 to 0 to not support the project since it
was on a topic which is already on the channel and it
doesn’t directly meet any of four criteria that we use to evaluate
projects.
·
At the conclusion of the discussion Walt suggested that we
make our criteria known to people who are going to submit proposals. It
was hoped that doing so would save the person requesting the funds time
as well as the board.
·
The board voted 5 to 0 to grant $500 to Maria
Gardner to film a documentary on Cirque
du Soleil when it comes to Del Mar.
·
The board discussed the proposal from Herb Turner and
Edward Kramer to film speakers from the New School of architecture.
After much discussion is was decided to support the project for $500.
for two shows. It was hoped
that the New School of Architecture would also support the project.
·
The “ Lagoons for Laypeople” project submitted by
Edward Kramer was discussed and the board agreed to support the project
at the $500. level provided the project receives $5,000 in matching
funds.
·
Philippe reported that his projects are now being edited.
·
Peter reviewed the status of Monte Carlo Night.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:15 a.m.
