COMMUNITY ACCESS ADVISORY BOARD
Minutes for the Meeting of
September 18, 1989
The regular meeting of the Community Access Advisory Board of the
City of Lynwood, California was held on September 18, 1989 in the
Council Chambers of the City Hall. (The agenda was duly posted
as prescribed by the Brown Act).
Chairperson Mary Wright called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.
Members in attendance were Mary Wright, Bill Cunningham ,
C.0 Coleman and Ada McZeal. Excused was Ann Fields. Staff
present were Gerald W. Forde and Carol de Jesus.
It was moved, seconded and carried to approve the minutes of
July 10 and August 23, 1989.
SCHEDULED MATTERS
1. DISCUSSION OF "CITY BEAT" OPTIONS
A. Contest for Selection of Name for Program
Deliberations were made on whether or not to go through with
a contest to select a name for Lynwood television program.
Chairperson Mary Wright commented that since the school
children are involved, clearance needs to be requested from
the school board and this will take time. Since the board at
one time has made a list of names to choose from, she
sugqested that the board select "Lynwood Showcase" as the
name for the program.
Mr. Forde also expressed that his main concern is the limited
time allowed to set the contest in motion, and advised to
forego the contest. Board members Bill Cunninqham and C.C.
Coleman moved that the board not hold a contest but instead,
select "Lynwood Showcase" as the name for the program.
Motion carried.
B. Showcase Program Format
Chairperson Mary Wright had a conversation with John
Clodfelter of Continental Cablevision and the latter
suggested that the board members do a rough draft of the
script and Mr. Clodfelter will help out with the outline.
Mr. Forde suggested that the board select a producer to work
with Mr. Clodfelter. The board agreed and expressed a
preference to have staff inember take the role and be
responsible for script writing. The board will remain as the
executive producer and members will give their input to the
producer.
. , �'` �,
Two names were mentioned during the discussion:
-Mr. Perry Brent from Recreation and Parks who has worked
with the Cablevision in taping the Gang Video and
-Mr. Gene Harris, the individual who sent his proposal to the
, board on "Exclusively Lynwood Television."
The Board will consider both individuals so long as they are
willing to volunteer their services and the board delegated
' Mr. Forde to take charge of sending letters inviting them to
be a part of the program.
Mr. Forde suggested that the board set a subcommittee to work
on the recommendations for the proqram. Chairperson Mary
Wright and Board Member Ada McZeal volunteered to be
subcommittee members. The first order of business is to have
a meeting with Mr. Harris to go over the proposal he sent and
to further discuss ideas he has in mind.
C. Review of Program Subjects Submitted by Members
Mr. Forde presented board member Ann Fields' ideas for the
program in her absence. Ms. Fields suggested a video that
will reflect an insight on families of various cultures.
This video will feature:
1) How the family migrated to the States, the church they
belong to, and their background
2) Way of cooking different ethnic food, etc.
The board feels that since the subject matter is one that
is more inclined to topics being discussed at the Ad Hoc Race
Relations Committee, it would be a good idea to work with the
said committee on this project. Board Member Ada McZeal
added that cultural standpoint rather than involvement of
personal lives be taken into account.
2. REVIEW OF PROPOSAL FROM GENE HARRIS
The board reviewed the proposal of Gene Harris and decided to
have Mr. Harris expound on his proposal at length during a
subcommittee meeting that is to be set by Chairperson Mary
Wright and Board Member Ada McZeal.
3. PUBLIC ORALS:
' Ms. Melanie Harris urged the board to give Mr. Gene Harris'
proposal a serious consideration. She expressed that the
proposal is a well rounded document that will help the city
. � � ''�1
generate funds.
Chairperson Wright indicated that the board is not turning
down Mr. Harris' proposal, but that it would like to further
explore the proposal with Mr. Harris.

December 7, 1989 - Annual Commissioners' Dinner
November 30, 1989- Chamber Mixer for Councilman E.L. Morris
