NOTIFICATION 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.
