I - Announcements/Agenda/Administrative
Program Council welcomed Gil Cho as the new training department representative to the PC.
Approved the June 27th minutes with one modification: "presented the obscenity policy" was changed to "reiterated the obscentity policy" in the discussion of management communications w/staff regarding the increased threat of large FCC fines.
Summarized and relayed feedback re: Morning Show America's Army segment directly to producer Laura Prives as she was attending Program Council as a vacation substitute.
II - On-going Programming
Decided that final votes on the series of new PA proposals that are being reviewed from June 27th thru August 15th would be done on the conclusion of the process - so Program Council can see the full range of programs being presented prior to voting to place some on the waiting list.
Did a telephone interview with 2 of the hosts of "Law and Disorder" - Michael Ratner of the Center for Constitutional Rights and Dalia Hashad of Amnesty International.
Did a telephone interview with BK Turner of Third Coast Live.
Checked in regarding progress on national programming proposals. Spanish language pilot is under review and Program Counil members advised to review program for feedback as station staff/management does the same. No further news on election programming suggestion.
III - Evaluations
Extended Saturday Morning Talkies for the standard year.
Youth Radio extended six months on completion of requested self-evaluation and check-in with PA Director. They will remain on shortened extension until assessed one more time for continuing improvement re: evaluation issues.
Extensively discussed contract/agreements protocol.
IV - Long-Term Issues - Brian and Sepideh to continue developing a plan for an open program council session at some point in the future.
