Old and New Business

Jim distributed a draft update letter to the membership.

Web page: Jim discussed a rough draft home page. Nima agreed to try to provide more detail on what would be good, so Rick would have specific guidance to make the page.

CU Liaison.  Jim Andrews, Nima Gharavi, and Jim Kubitschek. met with 2 representatives from the CU police department to prepare for the football season.  CU has more Internet cameras, so they think that two roaming cameras from us will be enough.  The TV reception will be different this year due to the new construction at the stadium, so we should arrange a time to test things out before the season starts.

Nima, who has agreed to be CU Liaison, will be at Oxford for much of the fall.  We need someone to cover while he is gone.  BCARES thanked them again for their contribution to BCARES. 

CU is looking at putting in antennas for us in their command vehicle and several campus buildings. Nima will draft an e-mail to send to CU asking about doing more planning and preparation. 

Repeater update:  A third receiver for the 146.76 repeater will be installed at Jim K’s house to see how well that works.

Equipment: Andy and Jane made some laminated placards. Andy will turn in a receipt for reimbursement.

Bylaws: There was a bylaws committee meeting.  Jane made a list of all the substantive changes that have been proposed.  The list was incorporated in an updated draft bylaws document.

Next Meeting:

Aug. 21, 7:00PM at Ball.

Adjournment

Meeting adjourned at 8:20PM.
