Executive Director Report

In an attempt to save staff time and paper, Board minutes will no longer be supplied for
Board workbooks as they are always available online. Discussion centered around
contract with Mt. Shasta City on questions regarding indemnification, insurance,
termination, and who should be presenting the contract. ED will contact City attorney to
get answers and report back to the Board before contract is finalized with MSC.
Financial responsibilities of the staff was discussed so a more timely payment of bills
could occur. It was agreed that the ED could write checks as long as there is money in
the budget to pay the expense. Station Director will enter bills as she does deposits.
Treasurer will oversee income and expenditures, receive bank statements, reconcile
account monthly, and keep board updated on finances.

Two policies need to be developed and presented at the next meeting-
one on contracting with government entities and one for clear definition of financial
responsibilities.
