[info-tech] Erate compliance 2

[JON HUESER]

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.

Thanks!

Should this be done annually? According to them?

1) Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and  
ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2) Anything that's invented between when you're 15 and 35 is new and  
exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3) Anything invented after you're 35 is again the natural order of  
things
