I - Announcements/Agenda/Administrative

August 16 minutes were approved without objection. August 23rd minutes received (2) minor changes, (one to note that Aileen was present, the other to change the description of follow-up actions on the one-time programming proposal from Richard Phelps). The April 23rd minutes will be distributed via the e-mail list for approval.

Since Mary Berg is out of town, there is no update on the web form for the minutes site contact info. When that is taken care of, Dev will proceed with a cart for it. William Walker is reviewing Tracy's script prior to cart production.

Listener comments for June and July have been posted on-line for PC members to listen to. LSB to look for a volunteer to transcribe CD into written form (as Mary Bishop used to do) for board members.

II - Evaluations

Since PA/Arts and Music directors are all indisposed, no further progress on scheduling cycle 4 and 5 recommendations. Tracy will leave space in 9/6 agenda for any recommendations that might be ready to go.

III - Ongoing Programming

Amelia working on draft text for apprenticeship program resolution.

The PC reviewed the demo tape submitted for the Queer Life program and voted unanaimously to approve it for broadcast should a time slot become available. The PC noted the producers' desire for a once a month slot and the lack of such a time slot structure currently at KPFA. Discussion of KPFK's rotating slot structure and how that is working.

The PC reviewed the demo tape for Education Programming with Kevin Cartwright and voted unanimously to keep the program under consideration pending the receipt of a new demo tape, which would be 60 minutes in length.

The Block Report, which received a 6N-6M tied vote remains under consideration and on hold until a re-vote is scheduled.

Wednesday afternoon shift of Guns and Butter to 1pm and Bay Area Native Circle to 2pm was reported as agreeable to all parties, so Amelia will determine the start date and schedule carts to notify listeners of the changes in advance.

IV - Special Programming

Upcoming programs announced by Dev: Power to the Peaceful on September 10th, La Onda Bajita at 25 on September 16th, Us Out of Iraq on September 24th, Indigenous People's Day at Alcatraz on October 12, Dias de los Muertos on November 1st and Thanksgiving at Alcatraz on November 25th.

V - Misc
