9. PEEF Report – Lew Sitzer:
CABY Grant: still waiting info on whether Leslie will receive more funds.
The PEEF tax preparation bill this year is higher than in previous years. We now have a new bookkeeper, and expect an improvement in our bookkeeping records in the future that should improve services and lower our tax preparation bill next year.
Facility: Judy gave a brief history of the facility housing NCTV, which is leased by the Nevada County Superintendent of Schools from the State of California. Holly briefed the board on how the state’s office of General Services is now reviewing the building, and issues of meeting ADA and other requirements will need to be documented for them. NCTV will need to have its own lease with the state, rather than sub-leasing from NCSOS.
10. NCTV report – Michael LaMarca:
A class is coming to make a show, and Michael has inquiries from two other schools.
Two fee-for-service shows have been completed. Michael will document the process so that Susan can prepare a promo piece on this some time in the future.
Susan, Lew and Michael will be developing material so that Spiral Studio can give us a marketing proposal in the near future.
