NEW BUSINESS: Randy Wright reported on discussions with Sean Simplicio, CPB Consultant and Ernest Sanchez, Station Attorney about applying for a 2017 Community Service Grant.   Three recommendations were made during the teleconference:

     2.     Provide approved documentation about the appraised value of the station’s buildings, land and calculate in-kind professional   services like engineering, station management, operations, programming, grant writing (all of these count as NSSF funding)

TREASURER’S REPORT: John Griego provided a detailed P&L Statement and Balance Sheet for February 2017 and for the fiscal year.
The station’s surplus through February and as projected through FY 16-17 is significantly higher than the surplus for FY 15-16.  In future reports, John will provide and compare financial data from the same time frame of the previous year.

     3.    Bill Simms will investigate producing a show featuring interviews with local seniors, founding families and others.  Three reporters  are interested in conducting interviews and include: Judy Garcia  from Torreon,  Mario Brio and Dixie Boyle, both from   Mountaineer.
