Board Meeting Minutes

The April 2015 meeting of the New Wave Corporation Board of Directors was held in the
Cope- Ashlock room on the 21st day of the month.

It was called to order at 7:15 p.m. Members present were Curt Wohleber, Philip Rabbitt, Connie
Hyman, Dan Hemmelgarn, and David Owens, General Manager. Treasurer Dan Hemmelgarn led
the meeting due to the absence of both the President and Vice President.

People who were discussed as possible appointee board members included Ann Mehr, Tim
Hudspeth, Gene Robinson, Michael Brawley, and Joan Sullivan.

The General Manager’s agenda was accepted for use because the
President and Vice President were not present and had not provided agendas.

Financial Report:
The financial report/balance sheet was discussed and clarified, and accepted by voice vote.
Copies of the Auditor’s Report were made available to all attending members. All board
members will take an opportunity to review the report during the next month. An Audit
Communication Letter was also distributed for later perusal by board members.

CPB funds were discussed. The disbursement of funds to the station takes place twice annually,
2/3 in October and 1/3 in April.

The prospective deal with Socket was discussed. It would involve an upgrade to the tower in the
form of a backup generator and may yield other benefits such as improved internet streaming,
cloud storage, and streamlining of applications involving transmission and data.

and may be ready for stuffing by Thursday or Friday. There may be an evening session or two.
