PUBLIC ACCESS TRAINING CLASSES Ms. Fort- Lincke reported that two public access training classes had been completed and that there are now 15 new public access producers, 7 from LW and 8 from Old Town. She gave a report summarizing the correspondence provided to the city regarding training classes, the negative impacts of the DIVCA and the steps taken by the SBCCF to provide the least negative impact to the community. This included capital expenditures and replacement, event coverage and on air programming. She stated that provided the SBCCF did not incur additional equipment failures or projects, that training classes could be included in the spring. There was discussion. Board members stated that they would like generic language included in the recreation guide regarding training classes but discouraged putting anything in a publication that reached outside the city limits. This is due to the fact that because more than 50 public access facilities have closed in Southern California, people are trying to sneak into any facility they can find that still offers public access training, in order to use the equipment and studio for free. SBTV -3 has been inundated with inquiries and attempts to use the facilities by people who live outside the area. Each community is only supported by franchise fees generated from within their own community and therefore, not supported by outside communities.
