• Members attending were Mark Welch, Gary Nelson, Karen Nelson, Kitti deLong,
Geoff Masci, John Watts. Tom Opstad arrived at 2:33 PM. Also attending was
Sherry Jones. Colin Brown arrived at 2:50 PM.
Sherry Jones will run the application for the radio station by the FCC attorney
before submitting it. She has some referrals for an FCC attorney but would save
that until we are nearly done with the questions that we will have to ask them.
She thinks that PTTV is a positive and appropriate group to be making this
application. She applauded the group for going after the radio station license.
Discussion about the license application. We will talk to Tom about whether the
school would be interested in being the umbrella organization applicant for the
license. If Tom says no, we will go through the City. Geoff suggested we find out
if Mary Gay, et al, had formed a group to apply for the license a few years ago.
Sherry reported that Marty's organization has lapsed and he no longer wants to
be involved. Geoff suggested that Joe Finney, Chairman of Higher Education,
would be the perfect person to help with the application for the radio station
license. Sherry, Karen and Mark will talk to Joe Finney.
Tom arrived at 2:33 PM. John stated that the next step is to form a year one
budget that will include only money we already have. Karen asked for a
subcommittee and stated that John Clise would work with that subcommittee.
• Geoff suggested that we get software for a template from the Washington
Association of Association Executives. We need a budget template for a
501(c)(3). Volunteers for the subcommittee meeting were Mark Welch, Geoff
Masci, Gary Nelson, John Watts and Kitti deLong. The subcommittee meeting
will be next Thursday, August 9, 2007 at 2:00 PM at PTTV Studio. Each member
will work on the Vision and Mission Statements between now and that meeting.
Tom stated that he had received a letter from an organization called FM
Expansion LLC that stated that there were three potential frequencies in this
area. Discussion. Sherry is planning to do the research on available frequencies.
Sherry left at 3:20 PM.
Organization Chart: Mark will redraw his version in a more formal presentation.
Production Manager: John stated that the Job Description goes to City Council
on Monday night. Then the ad will probably be placed two times in the Leader
and in the Peninsula Daily News. Geoff moved that the advertisement for the
Production Manager be place two times in the Leader and in the Peninsula Daily
News. Mark seconded. Geoff asked if we should advertise in the Bremerton Sun.
Discussion. Mark suggested that if we don't get a proper candidate with this
round of advertising, then we will expand to the Bremerton Sun. Motion passed.

U
Organization Chart: Mark presented an organization chart that he had informally
• drawn. Geoff suggested that we have a Board of Directors and under that, an
Executive Director. Mark will draw a more formal version for the Board by the
next meeting. Geoff suggested that everyone other than the Executive Director is
a contractor. Discussion. Tom asked if all positions in a nonprofit were "at will."
Geoff said only the Executive Director was at will.
Meeting ended at 3:30 PM.
