Items Discussed:
The purpose of this meeting was threefold:
• To present to Commissioners Hughes and Herlihy the proposed Gifts and Contributions Policy for their
review. This policy will be presented to the Policy Subcommittee meeting;
• To submit recent approved, pending, denied and expired community requests for review and approval to
GM Cameron and share information with, and input from, Comrissioners Hughes and Herlihy;
• To bring the GM and PR Subcommittee up to date on the progress of the Annual Report.
Gifts and Contribution Policy:
Vinnie Cameron presented the final draft of the Gifts and Contributions Policy. A discussion was held regarding the
amount allowed for ad expenses for civic and business organizations. Mr. Cameron agreed to increase the amount
of each request from $50 to of $100 and the total annual amount from $1,000 to $2,000. If the ad requests are above
the $100 limit, the General Manager will review them on an individual basis.
Pending Requests:
A packet attached to the agenda includes a synopsis of all requests from October 2003, through March 9.
Recent requests awaiting approval were discussed and the GM will get back to Priscilla Gottwald this week with
decision or request for further information and she will contact those organizations requesting community
sponsorship:
• Reading Lions' Club (March 15 deadline);
• Reading Rotary Club (March 15 deadline) and

Hunt Park/RMLD Sponsorship - As of meeting time, I had not received an official request, but I do have a copy
of a Power Point Presentation and supporting newspaper article.
Annual Report:
Photos of Board members, the General Manager and sites taken by RMLD have been submitted to the designer.
Financials from Melanson & Heath have been completed and forwarded on to the designer. Text is being
completed. Specs for the print job should be to Priscilla Gottwald by March 19. The designer has chosen to use
photos of the RMLD quilt hanging in the lobby as a potential cover. A draft of the report should be delivered to
Priscilla the week of March 22, at which time Mr. Cameron, Mr. Fournier and Priscilla will review. Priscilla will
contact the PR Subcommittee members at that time so they can review.
