Resident Communication Committee
4:00 p.m. Feb 9, 2005
Pocotaligo Building

Meeting minutes by Perry Molinaro.

Ryan Nelson, Richard’s new assistant, was introduced at the meeting. He said his first goal would be to get things organized working with the broadcast subcommittee. He also will be working with Jody Dorrell on audio during Pinckney programs.

Broadcast: Marilyn asked about appointing someone to head the subcommittee and whether this would be covered by the RCC charter. Al said the CAM board will be looking at all organization charters. A question was whether every subcommittee should have a charter. Holly said she did not believe subcommittee chairs had to be RCC members as well. Bob favored having subcommittee chairs serve on the RCC.

Newcomers. (Bea submitted her report for Marilyn and Perry.) Linda McCartney represented the group at the CAM orientation Jan. 5. Volunteers greeted 123 new residents from 69 homes and held four coffees with 63 attendees from 44 homes in January.

Publications.  Space in SunSations is becoming a problem, Holly reported. A question centered on allowing space for outside organizations. Richard stated that CAM decides whether groups fall under outside category. Al suggested leaving things as they are until this issue is resolved. Richard will talk with Bob Mahnke, CAM executive director, about this and report back to RCC in March.

Broadcast.  Joan said four reader prospects observed the 10 a.m. broadcast Feb. 4 and some have agreed to do the Saturday morning show. The Channel 59 schedules continue to run in SunSations. Broadcasts of Board of Director candidate forums are planned. The RCC agreed that videotaping has improved. Marilyn asked that Broadcast get program schedules on air so that viewers have regular access to show hours.

Web sites: Steve said schhca.org continues to evolve. and the information grows with new neighborhoods. Richard recommended a Web site to Mahnke that would be easy to maintain at a cost of about $1.50 per household per month.

Phone directory and map: Delivery of the directory is targeted for March 1. It will have 125 white pages compared to 100 last year’s. A SunSations article will remind residents to get changes or corrections to Bob.

Information map. It was suggested that the map be given out at the March 5 opening of the Hidden Cypress facility.

Next meetings: 9 a.m. Wednesday, March 9, in the Coosaw conference room at Hidden Cypress (also holding logo building at 1 p.m. March 9).  Marilyn will notify everyone about the correct place and time as we get nearer March 9.
