Public Comment – none.
Minutes of the August 13, 2025 meeting accepted unanimously.
Financial Report – Profit and Loss. In 2024 we were 7,000$ in the hole, currently we are showing a
balance of 9,500$ below income, however roughly 14K is still to come from Comcast, which will even
things out.
The budget for 2024-2025 was roughly 44,000$. So far in this year we have spent nearly 30,000$ in
payroll. In the bank, HCTV has roughly 127,000$, so we still have a cushion, but need to right the ship
for the future.
Steve continues to work to be sure the Budget and the P&L match up. He will ask Beth S. for advice, and also Macy. Steve is making the bank deposits.
Rachel observed that the board could use some members, or advisors, who are strong in reading
financial reports. She will contact a previous board member, to see if he could help out. She and Steve
will write up a Front Porch Forum post to reach out for additional board members. Steve will talk to Jan
Mueller for ideas/consultation.
Jim’s Report – Currently there are 4 sponsors for soccer, which are covering expenses. Their combined
sponsorships equal $240 per game, and the expenses for covering a game are typically $200, considering an announcer, camera operator, and editing.
We will continue to fine tune the fee structure, especially for municipal and library events.
Director’s/ President’s Report – Macy has moved out of state, and has continued working for HCTV
remotely, but that is wrapping up. A job posting for the position of executive director received four
applicants. Jim and Rachel will meet with one applicant soon, and will report back to the board.
The next meeting needs to focus on the budget, and is set for October 22, 2025, at 1 pm.
Meeting adjourned at 7:17 pm. Respectfully submitted, Rachel Kane, secretary HCTV
