Annual Report - Operations - Part time employee Penn Martin submitted an operations report, which follows: Operations Manager Annual Report 2005Strategic IssuesCOSWe need to further the agreement with COS to get located at the TV Studio there. ProgrammingWe need to continue to improve both the quality and reliability of programming.I have seen continued improvement since coming on board, but it can get better. It is suggested that we transition soon to block programming on a weekly basis. Also that a more coordinated approach allow the co-programming directors to focus on their particular expertise. I encourage Judith to continue to seek out valuable educational programming such as NASA and the U of Washington as well as coordinate w/ Marion Shaw at the County office to get input on what type of programming might be valuable to the teachers.I also encourage the Public Access coordinator to more actively field the various production requests from the community and communicate with the Volunteer Coordinator to access our ability and/or interest in meeting these requests. What are the needs of the communities and how can we serve them through actively going out and producing shows that interest both us and them? VolunteersHopefully with integration into COS our volunteer base will be augmented by morestudents. I would encourage anyone involved here with the time to also take COMM 35 or Creative Video as a way of being directly involved w/ potential student volunteers. I would suggest the volunteer coordinator staff position be re-evaluated, possibly re-assigning Kat to Production assistant if needed, or do we want to redirect the funds toward technical support. Operations ManagerI need to focus more on administrative coordination and less on production, asoriginally stated in the job description. It has valuable however, for me to become acquainted with the production requirements of the station and to get some programming out. The job description for this position continues to be out of sync with the requirements of the job, but we are a small station and it was a leap for us to delegate this amount of money for paid staff. FundingWe need to coordinate more actively w/ Gina and begin to write some grants, follow thruon the United Way grant. Write a new request to SRCF, and research new sources of funding. What creative ways of fundraising can we actively utilize other than grant-writing? Communities/ CitiesIf we formalize the agreement w/ the city of Mc Cloud, we will then be serving all thesouth County communities. We need to institute training procedures soon in Dunsmuir now that they have new eqpt. We are waiting for Weed to install a cabinet so that we can do the same w/ them. We then need continue to monitor and coordinate w/ NCTV about reliability of broadcasting the various city meetings. Further training and an eqpt upgrade for Mc Cloud is needed to improve the quality of their broadcasts. I have approached YCTV and found them to be in need of some encouragement, with significant reluctance, for example, to share the extended production responsibilities of airing the board of supervisor meetings. End of Operations manager report. Financial Records are on file at the Studio 174 office. The fiscal year ends at the calendar year. Adjourn to Regular Meeting Respectfully submitted, Todd Cory for Audra Gibson, Secretary |
