Approval of monitor, CPTV equipment

The following proposals have been approved by the CBF committee as of Thursday, January 15:

•  22-inch monitor and JPEG-compatible DVD player submitted by Brady Teufel
  CBF approves the purchasing of this equipment and necessary accessories up to $300. (The monitor will be displayed in the hall outside of the Mustang Daily showcasing student work from print, broadcast and PR concentrations)
  
  
• CPTV Proposal submitted by John Soares
  CBF approves the following expenditures:
  Media -- $27.79
  Final Cut Express 4.0 Licenses -- $ 625.00
   Supplies -- $56.00
  Total purchasing approval: $709.00

--------------------------------------

The following proposals have been rejected by CBF as of Thursday, January 15: 

• (CPTV) Firewire  -- $261.68
   CBF committee members feel that this cost is unnecessary until tapeless cameras have been purchased. 
  
  
• (CPTV) Printer -- $929.00/$334.00
   CBF committee members feel the cost is too high since there is already a functioning printer in the lab. 

--------------------------------------

The following proposal is pending approval: 

• (CPTV) Monitor -- $517.00
  CBF committee members were under the impression that the monitor was included in the $7,900 equipment cost that was approved for the purchasing of the switcher. CBF will make no action on this proposal until more information is provided.

** It should be noted that while a proposal may be denied, there is no limit to how many times a proposal may be submitted to the committee. The more information provided within a proposal, the more consideration the committee will give to the proposal.**

Thank you, and please do not hesitate to contact any CBF committee member if there are any questions or concerns.
