SCHEDULED MATTERS A. APPROVAL FOR NEW SCHEDULE OF THE CABLE ZNTERNSHIP PROGRAM Ms. Howard described staff proposal for a new schedule for the Cable Internship Program: the new schedule includes three sessions for instruction and one session for a break. The break will be utilized for concentrating on efforts in other areas, mainly projects that allow for revenue generation. The period of time will also be used for preparation of future internship sessions. Commissioner Pacheco made a motion that the new schedule of the Cable Internship program be approved. Commissioners Cunningham and Fields seconded the motion. Commissioner Lewis abstained because he feels he needs further information regarding matter. B. VIDEO PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT INVENTORY Ms. Howard mentioned that at the request of the Cable Access Advisory Board, an inventory of video equipment at the Lynwood Cable Studio was taken. At that time, a „ Bilingual 13" TV/VCR and tape recorder was not included in the inventory. We believe that these items were in the possession of Don Morris, prior to his untimely death. Lynwood's City Manager, Faustin Gonzales, contacted Detective Durazo of the Los Angeles County Homicide Department to find out if the items in question were a part of the Baxter/Morris investigation. In a timely manner, we cvere notified that the tape recorder was seized through a search warrant. Also, Detective Durazo has no knowledge of the whereabouts of the TV/VCR. The tape recorder will be released to the City _ of Lynwood when the presiding judge of the case releases it or when the trial is over. Ms. Howard also stated that the next step would be to consult with the City Manager for further actions to take regarding the TV/VRC.

CERTIFICATES OF COMPLETION FOR ADULT WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS Ms. Howard recommended that the Cable Access Advisory Board develop certificates of completion for the Adult Workshop participants. Additionally, upon completion of the workshop, the certificates would be presented to the participants at a pre-determined time during a board meeting. Ms. Howard feels that an early recognition of completing the workshop can have a greater impact on the participants rather than waiting until the Cable Awards Reception. Staff also recommends that the Adult Workshop participants are presented with an additional certificate of recognition by the Lynwood City Council at the Cable Awards Reception. D. DATE FOR THE CABLE AWARDS DINNER Ms. Howard mentioned that as the year approaches to an end, a date needs to be determined for the First Annual Cable Awards Reception. The date can be in 1993 or the early part of 1994. Ms. Howard also mentioned that an appropriate amount of time is required for planning and preparing this event. At the reception, the high school interns, adult workshop participants, Lynwood Showcase hosts, and volunteers will be recognized and honored.
