Discussion followed, and questions were raised and answered.  The

for such a fine year of programming.

was the note that the Summer Programming Coordinator position hiring
process had begun prior to confirmation of funds with the hiring
committee being the General Manager, Programme Director and the
President.

UPON A MOTION duly made, seconded and carried unanimously, the Operations
report, including the Programme Director's report and the General
Manager's report, was unanimously 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 in late summer or early fall.  The
General Manager explained in front of the Board to he Vice-Chair the
process for co-signing of cheques, as the President would be out of
signing range for a period of time.

Any Other Business:

At this time, there was a recounting of a public interaction between the

General Manager and the Academic Vice-president of Trent University, (see
attached statement) It was also noted that it had not been the original
intent to attend the public meeting on behalf of Trent Radio, the
resulting interaction concerned the organisation.

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

 The Trent Radio General Manager continues to enjoy the full
 support of the Trent Radio Board of Directors in light of
 recent public debate on 11 April 23001 between Graham Taylor,
 Trent University Administration, and John K Muir, Trent Radio
 General Manager.

The General Manager's contract was discussed.  It was noted that the
layoff of the General Manager is much later this year due to the better
financial situation.  The General Manager's contract committee was struck
being John K Muir, Al Kirkcaldy and Miriam Stucky.  Recommendations will
be brought to the Board by the end of the summer.

Matters relating to the OMB hearing with appellant Richard Taylor was
discussed.  It was noted that the General Manager and President had
attended the OMB pre-hearing on 24 April 2001 as well as prior meetings
with Mr. Taylor.  A statement of issues as well as background information
(see attached) had been created prior to the hearing pursuant to seeking
participant status.  However, the process has been delayed in the hope
that a compromise can be found.  It was also noted that the General
Manager had pulled together a press conference for the morning of 24
April 2001, including having a press release made up.  All parties
involved were thanked.

The Programme Director read a letter from Barry Rueger former Manager at
CKCU and now acting in the same capacity at WMMT, demonstrating the
support and recognition for the work that Trent Radio's General Manager
does both on a local and national scale (see attached).

The General Manager made note of correspondence from a listener who
particularly appreciates the 'Back to the Bible' broadcasts and its part
in the "menagerie" of programming heard through Trent Radio.

Reuben Maan was thanked for his contributions to the Board as he takes
leave for a summer job. He does not plan to return in the fall.

The date of the next Board meeting was left to be decided at a later
time through email correspondence.

There being no other business, the meeting was adjourned.
