Notice of this meeting having been made to all the Directors, and
a quorum being present in person, the meeting was declared duly
constituted and called to order at 12.15 p.m., with Grant Ball
acting as Chair and Emily Addison acting as Secretary.

The minutes of the previous meeting were presented.

UPON A MOTION duly made, seconded and carried, the minutes of
the previous Board of Directors' meeting, held on 10 December
1999, were approved as amended.

The financial review prepared by McColl Turner Chartered
Accountants for the year ended 31 August 2000 was presented.
Discussion followed.  It was noted full-time enrolment continued
to fall in 1999 and this was reflected in lower membership fee
revenues from the student membership.

The overall review was received in an optimistic light, and showed
a strong position as compared to other years.

UPON A MOTION duly made, seconded and carried unanimously, the
financial review for the year ending 31 August 2000 was approved.

At this time, Ellen Waterman announced that she had to leave before
the end of the meeting.  She conveyed her interest in how  the
usage of Trent Radio's facilities in support of a Trent University
Cultural Studies course have and will affect regular operations.
It was noted that the grant for the 'Sound Escape' conference has
been received and that news on the (Trent Radio) 'Radio Burst'
grant and the 'Audio Artist in Residence' grant will be available
at the end of March.  The Board thanked her for her work and
participation throughout the year.

The financial statement for the first four months of the current
fiscal year ending 31 December 1999 was presented by the General
Manager.  It was reported that rental income payments are in
arrears and that a payment plan is scheduled for negotiation
during the week ending 18 Feb 2000.  It was also noted that the
mortgage will be paid off in about 30 months and the loan a few
months before that, during the summer of 2002.

UPON A MOTION duly made, seconded and carried unanimously, the
financial statement for the year for the period until 31 December
1999 was approved.

Report of the Nominating Committee:
As provided by the By Laws of Trent Radio, the Nominating
Committee shall submit nominations to fill vacancies of the Board
for consideration by the membership at the Annual General Meeting
slated for later in the day.  The Nominees are;

   Emily Addison, J Grant Ball, Andra Kelly, Al Kirkcaldy,
   Nancy Logger, Cliff Rutledge & Chris Tonelli

UPON A MOTION duly made, seconded and carried unanimously, the
nominating committee's report was approved.

The Annual Report:
The Annual Report was distributed and reviewed.

UPON A MOTION duly made, seconded and carried, the use of the
package prepared for the Annual General Meeting was approved.

The General Manager presented the Entra Season report.  It was
noted that James Watkins had done a wonderful job of running the
facilities for some days during the winter break.  The Entra Season
passed without incident and allowed those programmers who wanted
to continue with their programmes over the break to do so.

The General Manager presented a report on the Trent Central
Student Association (TCSA) "Sunset By-law", sponsored by its
president.  The ramifications of the by-law and Trent Radio's
response to it were outlined and discussed.  It was also reported
that an email had been received from the TCSA president that the
by-law was no longer on the TCSA agenda for this academic year due
to lack of time.  It was noted that Trent Radio had met with TCSA
representatives in February 1999 to discuss similar matters for
student sponsored groups and had proposed a levy reporting policy
then, which had been well received by many affected parties.

This previous proposal had also been dropped due to lack of time
last year.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
