Notification Procedures for Specified
Meetings
1. Reasonable notice of all company
Board of Trustees, Board Committee, and Advisory Board
''meetings"(1) will be made at least one week prior to the meeting.
WSKG will air the notices on both WSKG-FM and WSKG-TV. The notices
will also appear on WSKG's web page.
2. The station will give advance notice
of the fact that a regularly scheduled meeting, which is usually
open to the public, will be "closed"(2) and the notice of the
closing will be disseminated in the same manner as the notice of an
open meeting. If a meeting or portion of a meeting is closed to the
public, a written statement containing an explanation of the
reasons for closing the meeting will be made available to the
public within a reasonable time thereafter or, in the alternative,
the written explanation for a closed meeting will be made available
to the public at the offices of WSKG or a copy of the explanation
will be mailed to any person requesting one.
3. Persons specifically requesting to
be notified of meetings will be informed by letter, e-mail,
facsimile, or phone at least one week prior to the meeting.
4. Once each quarter, the station will
make on-air announcements for at least three consecutive days to
explain the station's open meeting policy and provide information
about how the public can obtain information regarding specific
dates, times, and locations.
5. Copies of the minutes of all open
meetings will be made available to the public upon request. A
reasonable charge to cover copying or mailing costs may be
considered for this service. If a member of the public wishes to
inspect the minutes at the station, it would not be unreasonable to
require an appointment be made with the station as long as the
process is not burdensome to the public.
_____________________________________
(1)The term "meeting" means the
deliberations of at least the number of members of a governing or
advisory body, or any committee thereof, required to take action on
behalf of such body or committee where such deliberations determine
or result in the joint conduct or disposition of the governing or
advisory body's business, or the committee's business, as the case
may be, but only to the extent that such deliberations relate to
public broadcasting.
(2) The law provides exceptions to the
open meeting requirement. "Closed" sessions can be conducted to
consider matters relating to individual employees, proprietary
information, litigation, and other matters requiring the
confidential advice of counsel, commercial or financial information
obtained from a person on a privileged or confidential basis, or
the purchase of property or services whenever the premature
exposure of such purchase would compromise the business interests
of WSKG.
