FINANCIAL REPORT
It was reported that as of March 31, 1985, the Foundation has $22,876.11 in
its account.
NEW BUSINESS
Mr. Tony Acone asked to be allowed to address the Foundation regarding the Request
for Proposal (RFP) that it was planning to review. Mr. Acone expressed his concern
that if a person was to be hired, the funds the Foundation has available for grants
would be dangerously depleted. Mr. Acone proposed that the cable operators help
the Foundation by producing a video tape that would reflect what the Foundation
is and what community access programming is and could be and to have someone,
preferrably a Foundation member or members, contact different community interest
groups and corporations and set up viewing of the film to spark some interest in
the access channel for more programming and for fund raising.
Mr. Sheppard and Mr. Dominguez expressed ocncern that the operators would be
getting too involved in Foundation business and this offer could be construed as
a conflict of interest.
After some discussion, Mr. Sheppard made a motion to postpone any action on the RFP
until the regular meeting of June 13th in order to provide the cable operators time to submit a plan for in-house implementation of a similar proposal. The vote
was unanimous.
