COMMITTEE REPORTS:

Publicity:
Reuben Maan presented a verbal report which included the presentation of
the new and excellent "Trout Rodeo".  Reuben, Miriam Stucky and John
Hennessey were all thanked for their hard work put into creating the
newsletter.  A request for "pdf" files of the newsletter pages was made
in order to publish "Trout Rodeo" on the Web.  The increased content of
the current issue was a welcome enhancement and should serve as a guide
for future publications.

An on-air PSA was discussed as being one way in which future submissions
could be solicited.

Sponsorship and Earned Revenue:
Al Kirkcaldy presented his report (see attached).

Ways and Means: Emily Addison presented her report (see attached).

UPON A MOTION duly made, seconded and carried, the committee reports
were accepted.

OPERATIONS REPORT:

The General Manager presented the financial statements prepared by the
Bookkeeper for the period ending 28 February 2001.

The General Manager's report was presented (see attached).

The transmitter has been fixed, with the original problem being
corrected. Both John Muir and John Matthews were gratefully thanked (and
congratulated!) for repairing the transmitter.

It was noted that Trent Radio is in a much better financial situation at
the end of the first six months of the fiscal year than at the same time
during the previous fiscal year.

The HRDC grant for summer job funding will be completed and submitted by
the end of March.  The President and the General Manager may arrange to
meet with the local MP concerning their grant.  Hiring will occur in
April.

UPON A MOTION duly made, seconded and carried unanimously, the
Operations report, including the financial statements and the General
Manager's report, was approved.

Director availability was discussed.  Two Board members may not be
returning after the summer.  It was decided that vacancies on the Board
will be dealt with as they arise.

Glen Caradus left at this time due to prior engagements.

Trent Radio's position on the evolving changes at Trent University was
discussed.

UPON A MOTION duly made, seconded and carried unanimously, it was
resolved that;

  Whereas the support of the Peterborough and area community is
  the life blood of Trent University; and,

  Whereas Trent University grew out of the sweat of the
  Peterborough community, and,

  Whereas Trent Radio supports community accountability,

  Trent Radio continues to encourage the Trent University Board
  of Governors and its staff to reconsider their approach to
  decision making, in the light of their responsibilities to the
  wider Peterborough community and Trent University's tradition
  of a downtown presence.

The next board meeting will be held Thursday 26 April 2001, 8pm at
Trent Radio house.

There being no other business, the meeting was adjourned.
