Reports

Lurline reported to the Board that ‘Ōlelo is now videostreaming five channels, which includes the two public channels, VIEWS, and two legislative streams. This now allows ‘Ōlelo to carry the City Council, House and Senate live simultaneously via the net when they are all in session.

In response to all the public comment from Leeward Community College users at the October meeting, ‘Ōlelo has purchased non-linear edit and field packages that are consistent with the equipment at ‘Ōlelo’s Mapunapuna facility.

Ron reported that carryover to 2003 of unspent 2002 capital funds was discussed and approved by the Finance Committee at its recent meeting. He requested Board approval to increase the 2003 capital budget by the carryover amount of $119,000.00.

The Board approved the increase.

Program Committee Chair Gary Honda reported that the Program Committee and the ASAC plan to meet within the next three weeks to discuss issues, including the continuation of ASAC.

Nomination Committee Chair Ron Rex reported that his committee will be forwarding two candidate names to DCCA, Rochelle Gregson and Marsha Bolson.*

* It was noted after the meeting ended that a motion was not made for board approval of the Nomination Committee's recommendations, as required by 'Olelo by-laws. The board will therefore wait until the next meeting to vote on approving the Committee's recommendations. No names have been forwarded to DCCA.
