II. 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.

C. 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.
Commissioners unanimously agreed that the First Annual
Awards Reception Awards Ceremonies should be on November
8, 1993 at the Cable Studio, 6:30 p.m.
