Just thought I would keep you up to date. They are looking at my audit still from 2006. Starting in the 2002 funding year, you were suppose to have a public notice and public hearing to address technology protection measures. Which I didn't know about or didn't follow. If you do not, the USAC may be able to recover dispursements from the 2002 year to whatever year you did the technology protection measure public hearing. Once I got the findings from USAC, (fall of 2009) at the next board meeting I did the public hearing. They want to know what day the public notice was put out (which we don't have that date, just according to law it must be 24 hours prior to meeting) and then minutes from the meeting. I did ask if I was suppose to do this every year and the guy didn't think so, but you need to keep the record of when you did it so if they ask, you have that. So long story short - if you have not had a public meeting and it needs to specifically state in the minutes that you talked about internet safety and CIPA compliance, then you better do it at the next board meeting. If you are not sure, you better do it to have on hand for your audit. I now have it scheduled every december we talk about internet safety and CIPA compliance with our lightspeed system. I don't think this will ever end.
