Pacifica Radio Archives FY13 budget 9:33 PM (ET)<br />
<br />
The committee discussed the Pacifica Radio Archives FY13 draft budget proposal. There were some questions about the<br />
total revenue numbers. The Pacifica Radio Archives (PRA) Director said in a note to the committee that PRA has not<br />
received all of the revenues for FY12 that are listed on paper. Not all stations are paying their Shared Services to<br />
PRA. The advisability of having the stations pay their PRA portion of Shared Services directly to PRA was discussed. It<br />
was reported that grants income for FY13 is uncertain at this time. Committee members felt that more information was<br />
needed.<br />
<br />
Motion: (Tracy) “To postpone consideration of this item until the regular October 30, meeting” (Passed without<br />
objection)<br />
<br />
Adjourned 10:24 PM (ET)<br />
